4 MONEY
Have you ever thought revealing your money secrets might work against you?
Keeping confidence in specific things like finances is an art. The same way you keep silent about private matters with family and friends, so should you closely guard your finances.
Unless you can fully trust the ot her person or it is necessary to reveal like when seeking a loan.
You should keep these secrets to yourself.
1. Your salary
Some ask about your salary so they can form certain opinions. Or they want to gauge how much you can pay for their bills or restaurant tab. The moment you expose how much you earn, your expenses start rising unexpectedly especially, if you get any salary increment. You are allowing others to plan how you spend the money you work for without their help.
2. Your savings
Saving requires some sacrifice as you put off things like holidays or going out. If you reveal your savings, you might be guilt-tripped to lend money to a friend or relatives. Yes, it is good to help family and friends, but only if you can help. If you are not careful your savings might be completely drained.
3. Your wealth or investments
You have no business showing your portfolio unless it is vital. Otherwise, people will have false ideas about you. Maybe they will wonder why you turn down any money requests yet you are, “rich”. They do not understand you are still trying to build your way to success. Even some very successful people are never flashy based on how they behave and dress.
4. Your debts
This is something to keep either to you or within the family. This allows you to silently plan how to pay back. It also avoids any unsolicited advice from others on how to spend your loan or payback. It is a personal matter.
