Spending = Values

Our Spending Should Be Aligned with Our Values

Remember those rights and wrongs our parents and teachers taught us when we were a child? We all learned in our childhood that lying is a bad habit. Similarly, we were also taught that sharing our lunch with a friend is a good practice. The sense of recognizing right and wrong and practicing it in your daily life is called a value.

Love, respect, honesty, integrity, fortitude, and compassion are some of the core values of life. These values spread positivity and kindness in society. When we earn money and become financially stable, it becomes our obligation to spend our money in a way that is consistent with our values.

For example, if we use our money for bribing or buying designer drugs, we go against life's core values. When you use your money for bribery, you steal a deserving person’s right to get that job or contract. When you spend your finances to buy illicit drugs, you break the laws and contribute to societal degradation.

With wealth always comes the responsibility to spread goodness in our surroundings. Being a giver benefits society and should be an important part of our life. John C Maxwell said,

“When values, thoughts, feelings, and actions are in alignment, a person becomes focused, and character is strengthened.”
