Mental security > financial security
I see people talking about the financial security but rarely anyone talks about the mental security. I think, the mental security is far more important than any other types of securities for a prosperous life.
But before you question, let me first explain what the mental security is...
The mental security is all about "hope", about the good and secure feeling about life. It's about satisfaction, about contentment and fulfillment.
I'd say that the mental security is basically a combination of other different types of securities:
- From having a supportive and loving family
- From having enough savings for emergencies
- From having a good work-life balance
- From having a company of fun and supportive friends
and so on...
My point is, the financial security is just one aspect that helps you become mentally secure. You can be mentally secure without having a lot of money, and you can be mental insecure even if you have a lot of money.
So... you should only chase mental security and nothing else.
