The Other 30% "Non-Money Problem" You Do not Want to Have
I have people who are constantly complaining about money problems. About the nagging boss, working an extra shift to make extra money, and having less money to buy food, pay rent, and deal with their relationship bills. I have these issues as well, but I tend to ignore them because I have far more serious issues that no amount of money can solve. So, worrying about the larger problem implies that the supposed smaller problems (money problems) have potential solutions.
Problems That You Can Imagine A Fix Even If It's Not Presently Sustaining Psychologyically Problems That You're Financially Within Redemption
Think about this
I had this guy whose girlfriend wanted him to put her on a monthly salary so she could take care of herself; this guy was worried because he did not want to lose the girl and all that. He was asking for advice while I was thinking about my kidneys and heart, how to keep my blood levels up, and how to manage my anemia, all while carrying the heavy burden of constantly mourning my brother's death and waking up with a bleeding heart and cloudy eyes.
I did not want him to think his problem was insignificant, so I told him he needed to work harder if he wanted to keep the girl. Perhaps he could work extra shifts and set a higher savings goal, or he could simply quit and move on. Whatever he chose to do would come at a cost. He still seemed to want to hear more from me, so I told him I would gladly be him, swapping all of my problems for his. After some thought, he realized, "Oh wow!"

Of course, if it were realistically possible, he would not do it for money or anything else. It makes you realize that the majority of potential financial problems can be solved by earning more money, and it is not as complicated as that. Do not get me wrong: money problems are serious concerns. For example, having rent to pay, children's school fees, food and shelter, and a terrible job.
What About The Other % Mikey Wouldn't Solve?
Being dissatisfied with not having enough money can make people depressed, but these types of depression eventually heal when money is available again, whereas having money that does not alleviate depression is the worst case scenario. It is like winning while still losing in every aspect of your life. So, theoretically, money can solve more than 80% of your problems, but the remaining percentage can sometimes exacerbate the situation. Let this sink in.
I have spoken with and read about the problems of many people who are truly depressed, and no amount of money you can give them will help them; it varies for a variety of reasons. Sometimes people require the emptiness of a happy heart to make or spend money; if you believe you do not need to be mentally stable to make or spend money, you have probably had few to no problems in life.
Work Harder
Why? Because You Just Have To Survive
At the end of the day, no one cares; work harder to help yourself. Even if you have family, a good partner, a colleague, or a good support system, there are problems that drown you in your own mire, and unless you pick yourself up, you will sink no matter who you are. It means that your darkness is your companion, and no one truly shares your lonely journey with you.
While others can assist with financial problems, you are the only one who can assist yourself with other issues; until then, fake it because no one cares.

indeed there are problems money can't solve. We just have to appreciate what we have. Some issues are deterring beyond finance
True indeed
Firstly, I think you’re right to have told your friend to work harder if he wants to keep his babe but at the same time, what if he stops giving her money? Will she leave? Is she there for the money too?
Also, no one ever prays for depression but if I’m supposed to pray or go for one, I’d pray for the one money can solve. Sorry to say, being depressed about your brother’s death is not what money can solve even though money can solve different kinds of depression…
At the end of it all, I hope we all don’t have any reason to be depressed.
As for my friend, I told him what he wanted to hear, keeping someone who is after money, I'm certain he knows it's not something ordained for him. So I trusted him to use his brain.
Thank you for your kind words. Truthfully no one prays hopes to be depressed, life happens and people are just unlucky to be depressed. It happens to some people and omits some other people, it's the trickery of life, unless one stays lucky forever, there's always a possibility that can be unlucky one day.
relationship billsThis sounds so funny but it is the reality of life now.
guys are spending a lot to keep their relationship which is not supposed to be so.
monthly salary? she should get a work
but yea this gf salary is common nowadays but one should not do over stress himself to satisfy them, if he can't afford to do that now, he should tell her and if that is going to lead to a break up, good riddance...
Relationships bill is one of the most expensive bills out there. A lot of people underestimate, but men are really making efforts.
You're right, it's now the reality of life to have relationships bills. If you have a wasteful partner it's even more difficult..
For my friend, it was real. His then GF wanted him to place her on monthly salary and he didn't want to lose her. I gave him the option. It was either he worked harder or lose her
Some of the most miserable people out there are extremely rich. Money does solve problems to a point until you have too much and then everyone wants something from you.
People really don't think about their health until it's too late, being focused on work or other problems. It really is a shame money is such a driver in the human existence. But human greed is why it exists at all I suppose.
How's your health holding up?
Financial problems suck and I definitely think it sucks to hear people complain about it. It's just a part of life and you have to make decisions. Work harder, move on or figure out some new job that pays more.
It is sad that support from others countrymen is reduced to simple daily talk. Exchange of valuable information can protect one from many disastrous financial crisis.
Thank you for showing the reality of the society of the 21st century.
Peace
I have been meaning to read this post and I am glad I finally got the chance to do so.
These days, I quietly get rid of the things that increase my financial worries. Instead of looking at it, dragging my feet, and falling into depression, I take it out completely.
This is what your friend should do. If putting the girl on a monthly salary is going to bring him headaches then he should quit the relationship. If he has the strength to handle the extra stress that comes with making more to do her bidding then he should go ahead and do it.
Well it seems the man and the lady has ended wherever unholy union they had.. the lady was in it for the money anyway, and she didn't spell this enough. Probably was looking for a financially made man all in one, and once she probably discovered the guy isn't 100% made, the love dwindled, her actions proved and she didn't give a reason to think otherwise
