 Where I come from people believe you need to have enough money before you can save. While this isn't the problem, the problem is actually the definition of what *"enough"* is. You see, people themselves are in a position where "enough" becomes a marathon rather than a destination and this makes it difficult to achieve it as a state of mind.

 Originally, it's true that we're insatiable, but if everyone begins to give in to their default perception about money, it'll be difficult to see **self-improvement** as an important aspect of our economic and financial development. The truth is that we can never attain the ultimate stage of satisfaction, what we mostly do is lower the scale to the highest level of standard that's out there.

### Training The Mind

We do this by training our minds well enough to understand the importance of creating limits, where to create these limits, and when to set boundaries. **When it comes to money, our expectations are inelastic** and this is because our imaginations are limitless, so if we don't train ourselves to see a tipping point, we might see some of the importance of things like saving. 

Another thing we can never achieve is the perfect state of convenience. For example, people wait to have bulk money before they can dream of owning businesses. Now having bulk money or capital is one of the highest stages of convenience when it comes to owning a business, it means you won't have to worry about incurring unplanned expenses, and you have to freedom enact plans and decisions.

### Capital is not enough



 No matter how bulky our capitals can be, it wouldn't still be enough to completely build the dream business we want. This is why we should understand the concept of Mental preparedness even with limited resources. The whole concept of economics is about how to manage, the reason why we see the need to manage is that we understand that "enough" is a state of mirage that's probably unachievabl.

If we don't train our minds to see this, we might halt the most important financial decisions in our lives simply because we need to have enough to begin. When I was younger, I loved the concept of saving even if this wasn't what I learned in school or learned from my parents. The truth is that my parents led a life that brought so many financial consequences but I was aware of this and learned out of fear.

### Learning Money Principles Through Fear

 I was surrounded by people who lived for today and only saw tomorrow as a miracle, but this was another definition of living from hand to mouth. Ironically, people see tomorrow as a miracle, but they make terrible decisions that put them in a bad financial situation in the future. People subconsciously negatively affect their future but find it difficult to consciously impact their future positively.

 The excuse to ignore saving because of not having enough is gotten from the state of total comfort. A lot of people do not think they need to inconvenience themselves in the present to secure their future. It's hard to convince people to put away **30%** of their monthly income will not make them go hungry, rather it'll only make them shift the **70%** of available income to suit their needs. 



> **This means that no matter how much we have, our survival instinct will always kick in to create acceptance of the resources we currently have.**

However, this is where financial discipline and awareness wonders and it makes sure that we always derive the same satisfaction when we spend **70%** or **100%** of our income this is because no matter how much we decide to put away, we're always going to derive the same utility, because of the state of mind we decide to activate. 



### The Sense Of "Greater Good"

Nevertheless, this can only happen when we attach necessity or a feeling of the greater good when we're taking financial measures that can create a sense of deprivation at the moment. One of the things I did while living in deprivation was tap into the sense of the "greater good" and also tap into the perception that the future is what we plan or make of it. 


Sometimes for people to truly understand the importance of saving, they need to imagine or envisage the implications of doing otherwise. Some decisions don't create any advantage, rather they make sure we don't incur unnecessary implications and this is good enough.
