It's Not About The Money

It's a cliche. And I may not have understood the sentence enough. I now feel I understand it at the deeper level. I don't say fully because there is always deeper level of understanding about everything.

I used to think money was my second thing. The first thing was always something else. In that sense, I thought it's not about the money. I have never prioritized money. I recognized the importance of it though.

Recently, to my surprise, I feel money is not my second thing anymore. I don't really care most of time. Is it because I have enough cash flow? Maybe yes. Is it because I have enough assets? Maybe yes. But the fundamental reasons are not those things. I am not interested in money anymore.

Yes, money can give me convenience, money can give me power to some extent. But I am not interested. It's a strange feeling. I had been thinking money was important to some extent. So, it's very weird to feel the way I feel right now. 

I used to set a financial goal as most people do. Then, I would affirm for a long time every morning. As I did it for a long time, I came to feel that money was not my goal at all. I can borrow money if needed. 

I am not sure this feeling will be consistent or not. But I feel it will last for the rest of my life. Money comes and goes. I need them but I have no control over it. So, the best strategy is to let it come and go. That's the feeling I have toward money at this moment.
