Hey there lotters fine day were having, Well as ive mentioned before and on some of my discussions today it is time for my salary and i also think for most of us, i just had to say that it is hard to earn money maybe easy for some but for most people it is quite hard. Well for me i think i am just lucky, but money maybe more now but if you come to think about it I will half my money before this day ends maybe more. I have to pay debts since i promise to pay it first day i get my money then grocery then i have electrical and water bill plus i need to make 6 new checks for my apartment to run for six more months so there you go. You earn hard and you burn even harder, cheers guys.

true. its hard to earn money but can be easily spend. like time, we must spend money wisely. buy your basic needs first, save some and if you still have a little excess then buy what you want. a little savings every pay day is very helpful.

Very true. It is hard to earn money but it is easily spent. Well, you have to have a plan even when you have not yet received your income. Yes, bills first to paid,save then set portion for your basic needs. Well, do not forget to give back some portion to the One who had given you the ability to earn- our Lord. Me, I have been trying to practice the wisdom of some businessmen, "Got to live below my means".

Hi there guys, I always do break down how I am going to spend my money before I receive it so that i don't get to burn my money so easily and effortlessly, I'm a thrifty guy most of the time but if I don't plan well i just screw things up with my money. But now I have changed all of that and now i am completely organized when it comes to my money.

That's the truth. It is so hard to earn money, but once you get it, then it is so easy to spend it because you have so many things that you have to pay for.

Hi rogue, You are absolutely right , I mean you take 8 to 9 hours a day to burn cash well for me 12 hours a day for four days a week, and we commute and we study to make our crafts better but then when we get our money after a month most likely we burn it the same day we get it. Pay bills, debts, set aside food money, fare and even push a date for the same day just to make sure that we don't burn the money before we can enjoy the small amount that is extra.

I have attended to a seminar that said that this kind of thinking is one of those limiting beliefs that prevents you to have more money in your life. Thinking Money is hard to earn and easy to spend. The first thing that you have to change in your way of thinking is first try removing that idea in your head that "money is hard to earn" It would be easy if you start thinking it is easy. Once you have learned to do away with that start thinking of saving and not on spending. "Pay yourself first" before anything else. The old lesson of Income - Expense = Savings should not be followed anymore. It should then be translated to Income - Savings = Expense. I know this can be hard to swallow at the very start since we were taught in almost anything in our life by our parents and even our schools that money is hard to earn. But if you would start looking how the rich and successful people are right now this limiting beliefs are not in their vocabulary when they started to dream and realized all of the things they have right now.

Hi there rsa, Well this is very useful in my life right now i hope it is okay that i copied what you said here in my special quotes notes, i wont plagiarize it but I intend to put this on some of my helpful quotes in my life. Why not make earning money easy in mind so as to make life easy in earning money and spending it right. Wow what a philosophy. Thanks, I'll mark you as best response.

I do have to agree with you. It seems to be the case that money is difficult to earn and easy to spend and burn. It really isn't pleasant that this is the case. I certainly wish it was different.

Hi there dodo, Well i also do wish the same , I wish that we can earn the money and burn it much much harder so that we can keep more of our hard earned cash and so that we can just buy more that we need and really more than some of what we want, right?

hi there, with regard to your main topic, indeed, that is true. that, our hard earned money is really easy to spend but, it do requires a hard work and perseverance to earn that again. thus, what you have written really a idiomatic expression that describes the lingo of earning.

Hey there airashiela, Idioms well i guess i'll be more careful next time and be more descriptive in my titles. Anyway it is really hard to earn the money but i guess it is even harder to keep it once you get to sort out bills and debts. Thanks for the comment.

No kidding! Most of the money I make goes to bills as well. I just like having the opportunity to earn a little more so either I can have more spending money or I can put more toward certain debts like university debts & credit cards. Happy MyLottin' to you!

I do agree with you. I am one of those people who earn the money the hard way but gets to burn them in seconds or minutes. :) Yesterday, I received my salary now its gone because I have to pay something. Currently, it seems in every move me make their is a price for it. Money, money, money. It would be surely nice not to worry about it.

Hi there dazzled lady, Yep, it would be nice not to worry so much that you have to have a dime in your pocket every single day, but that is unreal and that we can only wish for it, anyway the only thing that we have to d is really work hard to stay afloat and to keep ourselves going might as well enjoy the work right. Thanks for the comment.
