Bad Financial Woes Can Kill Your Employee Status


We all love displaying all our ‘status symbol’ items to all our friends and colleagues. It is all but natural to do. This is one thing which makes us very similar to other animals – showing off. If your money is leaving you faster than you are earning it, then the buck needs to stop at you. Your true friends and well-wishers will continue to be so whether you are affluent or not. The scenario will be pretty ugly if people like you only because of your lavish lifestyle. Always remember, too much of anything is bad. Plus, history is the witness to the downfall of many high and mighty people only because they chose to get ruled by money and not the other way around.

You can spend lavishly once in a while. But only when you know that your credit card won’t go beyond its limit. Also see if you will have enough to meet your expenses till the end of the month. We employees love snacking and wining and dining with friends and colleagues. Still, the line needs to be drawn. Carry your own lunch. It does not make you seem like a school kid. It shows that you are responsible enough to take charge of your dwindling finances. You can also brew fresh coffee at home and carry it to office. Enjoy Café Coffee Day too but wisely. Commuting is another good way to save money. If you are brand conscious, then buy your clothes and accessories at the time of a sale. Always keep a budget and stick to it. If you have lent money to a colleague, then make sure they return it on time.
