  • Scared to take Financial risk

    Bloganuary writing prompt
    What’s the thing you’re most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it?

    One thing that truly terrifies me is taking financial risks. Unfortunately, I seem to have a streak of bad luck in this area, often losing money without being able to recover. Despite repeated attempts, my efforts have consistently failed. It’s possible that I haven’t found the correct approach, or perhaps I’ve been foolish enough to fall into the trap of unreliable schemes.

    Nevertheless, if I ever summon the courage to invest with a prudent approach, it would be a monumental victory for me. Overcoming this fear is a personal challenge I’ve been working on. I believe acquiring sufficient financial knowledge and understanding the right approach are key steps in conquering this fear. Through education and learning, I aim to tackle financial risks wisely and make informed investments for a more secure financial future.

    What are your biggest challenges?

    The biggest challenges include not being able to have full faith in God, succumbing to the temptation of anger, hesitating to take risks, and more. I acknowledge that not all individuals face similar challenges; what might be significant for some could be inconsequential for others, and vice versa. One of the major challenges for this year is whether I will be able to save up some money or if I will be in a better financial position. As we grow older, it becomes challenging to sustain a hand-to-mouth existence indefinitely, as time seems to show no mercy to anyone. Therefore, I pray for growth in terms of wealth. Haha!

    What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.

    I often contemplate the idea of investing some of my hard-earned money; however, I struggle with summoning the courage to take that leap due to uncertainties about the associated risks. This hesitation is further compounded by my current lack of financial independence. If only there were a guaranteed assurance of success, I would certainly be more willing to embark on an investment journey.
