Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – As the flow of information becomes increasingly rapid, learning finance is certainly not difficult because you can access it in any way, without spending any money.
But sometimes, skills in managing finances can also emerge in times of urgency. Call it something like when there is a disaster and so on.
Of course, what we want is to have this ability before these disasters come to us. As a result, when disaster strikes, you can anticipate it well.
Below are five events that might force you to become financially literate. Be aware that this will happen, and you will be wiser with your finances.
Everything you love will surely pass away
It's possible that you currently have an income and some expenses are still covered by your parents or partner.
But know that no one can live forever in this world. Including the people you depend on.
This fact will certainly be a warning to those of us who are still too dependent on them in financial terms. When they are gone, the facilities we usually enjoy will no longer exist.
Prices will continue to rise!
Inflation is a real thing, and you have to face it in any financial situation. The bitter reality of course arises when inflation is skyrocketing and our financial condition is in trouble.
That's why it is very important for you to understand ways to earn side income while managing your finances well.
The greater the funds you can set aside for the future, the greater your ability to save, build a financial foundation and invest. All investments have risks
Even the safest investments have risks that might make you lose money in the future.
Understanding investment assets is very important, especially if you want to grow your wealth in the future.
Without investment, the value of the money you have could be eroded by inflation. The dream of being rich is just a dream.
The company you work for could go bankrupt
Wherever you work, there is no guarantee that the company will survive until the end of time. Remember that there is always the risk of job loss hanging over employees.
In essence, business is like a spinning wheel. Sometimes it's above and sometimes it's below, but be aware that sometimes tires can explode when they are forced to rotate in conditions that are not optimal.
While your financial condition is safe and you are still working, develop knowledge related to career and finance to anticipate this in the future.
