One of the essential lessons most of us are taught early in life is the importance of developing a sense of financial responsibility.
Work hard to earn a good paycheck. Don’t spend more than you can afford. Save for the future.
Eventually, following these steps will land you in a position where you can afford some of the nicer things life has to offer. Behaving in a financially responsible way isn’t always fun in the moment – but it’s well worth it when you get to reap the rewards of your good decisions later on, as you’re able to enjoy more and more of the things you want and need.
It’s one of the most fundamental principles of our society, and it’s also rooted in one of the basic realities of human nature: Incentivize good behavior, and you’ll get more of it.
