28、ther. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs.

30、icket and the snail.The ant-works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people dont care about enjoying the moment.

31、t they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket-fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesnt think too much about the future.

32、ong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems.

36、etween giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then its likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to
37、 create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three
38、being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. M
39、astering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own
40、needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a
41、 calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to bethis is the key to personal power.When you cho
