【EQ加油站】 你不理財,財不理你

文/ 金不換

  有此一說,金錢像小蟒蛇,懂得如何抓牠、拿牠就沒事;不會拿捏,可能被纏手、被咬。人若無正確金錢觀和理財觀,不會好好支配金錢,終會被金錢所支配。屆時阮囊羞澀(錢包剩一塊錢放著),再要求此等人EQ高,難度也增高。現今貧富差距拉大,固然大環境與制度有關係,但個人也當學習如何賺錢、花錢、省錢、存錢。以下五句話,或可降低落入貧窮一族的風險。

- Money is a good servant, but a bad master.

 金錢是個好僕人,但卻是個壞主人。

- Money, achievement, fame, and business are important, but they are bought too dearly when acquired at the cost of health.

 金錢、成就、名聲、和事業是很重要,但如果是用健康做為支付的代價,那就太昂貴了。

- If you live within your income, you will live without worry - and without a lot of other things.

 如果你能夠量入為出,你會省掉憂愁-還可省掉一堆麻煩。

- The value of a budget is that it tells your money where you want it to go rather than wondering where it went!

 擬定預算的價值在於:告知你錢要花在哪裏,而不至於奇怪錢都跑到哪裏去了。- People don't seem to realize that a poor person who is unhappy is in a better position than a rich person who is unhappy. Because the poor person has the hope that money would help.

 人們好像很難體會:一個不快樂的窮人,比起一個不快樂的有錢人要來得好。因為窮人還有個希望,以為有錢可以解決不快樂。

  二○○二年諾貝爾經濟獎得主卡尼曼(Daniel Kahneman)的說法,頗能平衡金錢與幸福的關係:「當一個人收入增加時,就會渴望更高的收入,也因而感到更不滿足,進而覺得更不幸福。」箴言說:「使我也不貧窮也不富足;賜給我需用的飲食,恐怕我飽足不認你,說:耶和華是誰呢?又恐怕我貧窮就偷竊,以致褻瀆我神的名。」(三十章8b〜9節)求智慧理財的人,當避免窮得只剩下錢。
