Once upon a time on our planet, people traded cows for chickens. Simpler times, indeed. But let's be honest, who wants to drag a farm around while shopping? That’s what humanity wondered back then too, so someone, somewhere decided to use coins instead. Cool, golden, shiny coins. Those were trendy and hip for a while until banks came around.

People started thinking, "Hey, why not store our precious coins somewhere safe?" Banks then created paper bills, like little certificates for the gold people left behind. The concept of notes became popular; people liked the idea of storing all their heavy gold with the bank, and receiving a bank note as proof of ownership.

Fast forward to today...

Money has gone through a major glow-up. The internet revolution spread and took over the world. People built online stores, and others bought from them. Physical wallets became digital wallets. Traditional banking gave way to digital banking. Physical money notes turned into digital money notes.

Money got a major glow-up in the internet era. We're talking digital wallets, online shopping, cryptocurrencies, and even apps like Klivvr to help us manage it all. Money has become a cultural icon, a topic for books, a muse for rappers, and a driving force behind dreams.

Money Is Mindset

Money isn’t just a tool we use to renew our mobile internet bundle. Money is more than just numbers; it's personal. In The Psychology of Money Morgan Housel explains that our financial decisions aren't always logical. They're shaped by our unique experiences, upbringing, and emotions. What seems like a smart move for one person might be totally different for another. Housel further elaborates on how money has become a mindset, a reflection of a person’s dreams and values, a maker of visions and a creator of visionaries.

Money Talks, Are You Listening?

Speaking of mindsets, Napoleon Hill says in his book Think and Grow Rich that your thoughts are like money magnets. Desire, faith, imagination, decisiveness, and persistence are all tools we humans can use to attract and generate massive wealth. Manifestation, eh? So, visualize that dream vacation with your new shiny car, and who knows? It might just come true. ✨

Financial Freedom: More Than Just Money in the Bank

Let's get real: Financial freedom isn't just about having a juicy bank account. It's about having the freedom to live life on your own terms. It's about chasing your passions, exploring the world, and making memories that last a lifetime. You do NOT need a man in finance, trust funds, 6'5, blue eyes (or be one yourself) to be good with money. It's more about controlling your impulses, developing good habits, and making consistent choices over time.
