How To Be A Lucky Guy
There are many different aspects of luck, but the most often talked about is the luck in money and finances. Of course, you can't just be born lucky in this field, there's a lot of hard work that needs to be done, as well as some additional good fortune.
In this post we're going to talk about how to become a lucky guy when it comes to money and finances. This includes how to increase your luck with your financial endeavors in all aspects from investments, sales, and purchases. The second element will be handling money in order to make it become more just, which is the point of this post.
Luck in your finances and investments
In my own personal experience, I was lucky for a long time to be able to earn a lot of money and buy things I wanted. However, I wasn't always lucky in how I earned my money. Let's say that for one year when I was 20 years old I did nothing but work hard and everything went to plan financially. But then when I was 21 years old, everything changed. My salary started decreasing by 10% every year, which led me to almost not being able to pay my bills or even buy food at times.
I managed to handle it all financially and never got into debt. But if I would have been unlucky, I wouldn't have been able to get out of that situation, which would've caused me to do something drastic, maybe start stealing or end up in jail.
But luck is not everything when it comes to your finances. You can take a lot of responsibility for your financial wellbeing and you need to take smart decisions in order for this process to be a successful one. This is because luck plays a part in how things go and it's not the only element you need to focus on. I'm going to talk about some of the elements that you can do yourself in order for you to be lucky with money and your finances.
Focusing on your financial decisions
Usually when it comes to finances, and especially money, people get distracted easily. You can see this when you walk around in the city and people aren't paying any attention to what they're doing because they're looking at their phones and other screens. They usually don't keep track of their expenses either, which means that they'll pay more for things that they don't have to. Of course this is a very easy thing for us to do as well and it's hard for us to control our spending habits. Luckily though you can control this in order for you to be lucky with money and your finances.
What you need to do is to keep track of everything you spend your money on. From the most simple things like buying a cookies to more expensive and bigger purchases. I would recommend that you keep track of your expenses because it'll help you a lot when it comes to your finances and keeping yourself in the budget.
You don't have to write it all down, that's just an extra bit of work that might not be practical for you. What's more important is for you to develop the habit of being aware of what you spend so that you won't overspend, which is easy to do with all the distractions we have nowadays around us.
Also remember that you don't have to keep track of everything you spend your money. If you can't do it, that's fine, but if you can do it, then do it and make sure to do it every time. This will help you to be a little bit more aware of the decisions you're making with your money and help you take control over the situation a little bit more.
Focusing on investing in the right opportunity
There are many different industries out there that have a lot of potential when it comes to investments. Everything from stocks, to real estate, to even cryptocurrencies are all fields that have a lot of room for growth and have the possibility of making you really wealthy. And one of the main reasons why I like these types of investments is because they give me an opportunity to be lucky with money and finances.
You need to keep in mind that investing in your interests doesn't always mean you'll be lucky. There are many other factors that come into play when it comes to making profits with investments and it's always good to consider everything before you go throwing your money away with certain sectors or investments.
But one thing is for sure, investing in the right thing will create more luck and greater opportunities for you.
Keeping a financial plan
There's a reason why people like to write plans in order for them to have an easier time with their finances. The reason is because having a financial plan helps you to save money, know where your money goes, and helps you stay in control of the situation.
A financial plan is something that needs to be worked on in order for you to be lucky with money and your finances. It'll help you save more money and make sure that you're following the right steps when it comes to planning your own financial future. It'll also make it much easier for you to take care of all your specific needs and requirements.
When you have a financial plan, it'll help you to be a little bit more aware of the decisions you're making with your money and help you take control over the situation a little bit more. It's definitely not going to make everything go according to plan, but it will give you better results when it comes to being successful in your own personal financial situations.
And as I said earlier, there are other things as well when it comes to making money. You can invest in new ventures and things like this as well. But these two examples we've shared were the most important ones when it comes to balancing luck with your finances and investments. Luck will always be a part of how your future looks like and how successful you're going to be, but if you follow these tips, then your success will come a lot sooner.

Sometimes we can be tempted to make bad decisions with our finances and invest in things that aren't going to make us rich.
