Introduction

I’ve always wanted to spend my money the way I please, but a recent discussion about spending money has changed my perception. I had a fruitful discussion with Mr. Robert, a senior professor at my college in Florida a few months ago. Here, I will tell you about this interesting discussion. This discussion was about how I spend money and how I should spend money.

Who you had the discussion with

I went to see him one morning a few months ago to discuss an assignment that I had recently completed and submitted to him. During this meeting, he told me his opinion on money management.

He told me that we should never spend money that we have not earned. Since I was an avid user of credit cards, I disagreed with him. He then took the time and patience to discuss this issue with me in detail.

In the discussion, he also talked about a few other aspects of money. For instance, it was clear that he believes that money is important for life, but people should have money in the head, not in the heart. Finally, he also opined that our spending habits grow from our family, and it is often hard to change that later in life.

Why you discussed this topic

This insightful and impactful discussion convinced me to always cut my coat according to my cloth. As a result of this discussion, I realized some of the money management aspects that I was always doing wrong. For instance, I stopped using three credit cards that I had and took a debit card instead.

What the result of the discussion was

After a few months, I realized that it was helping me tremendously and I was not struggling with my money as much as I had done earlier.

Explain why this discussion was interesting for you

The discussion was interesting because it was something that I disagreed with, but also knew that Mr. Robert was highly talented and experienced in economics and everything related to money management. It was the first time that I realized that my way of spending money was totally wrong.

It was interesting also because I realized that it was an eye-opening and thought-provoking discussion that can affect my money management style and overall financial condition as a student. I must say, this was one of the best discussions I have ever had with anyone about money.
