OK by now you know that I’m about finding your money that was once lost due to the thousand or so reasons / excuses that life can throw your way. But do not overlook the fact that money is right in front of us everyday with some form of monitoring or budgeting of our current income. Monetary influencers seep from every angle of our lives, even in music. Just listen from time to time instead of singing all by your lonesome, lol.
Jay – Z the most famous rap artist talks about money every chance he gets. Recently I heard some of his lyrics and he states in clear proper English aka an easily deciphered phrase- Anticipation for precipitation stack chips for a rainy day. What does this mean? It means to save money for emergencies that may arise from time to time. Wow what an eye opening, simply put phrase that struck a nerve within me. Yes he talks about spending on diamonds and fancy cars all the time, but I would bet a few of my pennies that he saves / invests a hell of a lot more money than he spends. I also witnessed his Forbes magazine cover with the most respected investor of our times Mr. Warren Buffet. In addition to his status as a business man, investor and respect in our times he has even been quoted as an investor of the Euro as a way to diversify his current cash portfolio.
In Conclusion we might not make the kind of money Jay-Z makes, but saving it should be relative to what we make for our incomes. It all boils down to saving some of it before it’s too late, and believe me you will never regret the fact that you saved some extra money for your future.
Even in music you can find ways to watch your money.
