To Be On Top Of Your Numbers

I was listening sheepishly around couple of years back to this banter from a financial expert "At any given point, one has to know his net worth". I thought who would do that.
and more than that why the hell would someone want to know that. What information does that provide me? A lack maybe. God knows.
We the people, do not want to know what goes in our banks. We are too scared to see it. With online, we are even more scared. The way money goes. A 1000/- day is just to keep with the current lifestyle. Never in my life I would have imagined a situation like this.
If you ask me, giving away a 1000/- in cash is still stressful but not in digital way. We just spend as if it is so miniscule. At that point of listening I was giggling on the way I have handled money.
But come today, I know exactly to the T my savings, my investment and how much each bank has, at least for the week. Its not that much but quantity has never been the goal. It is knowledge that is the goal. If you have the knowledge you can act upon the knowledge but if you do not have even the basic understanding, then how would you act.
Respecting money not only when it comes but respecting it even she is at your home is an act of reverence. You won't just invite guests and welcome them home. You would also make sure that they dwell well, they are looked after well so that they can make your home, their home. That is the level of comfort you would want to give them isn't it.
I can't tell you how much knowing has helped me. It has made me more humane, more understanding, more caring and more vigilant and aware. Just the knowledge has made me think twice before I spend,
Think of it. With AI, you can do wonders with numbers.
