💸 The loan money is going to your phone. For yourself — not anymore.
Think about this difference.
Someone can buy an iPhone for $1000 on installments, pay for it for another year or two — and that’s considered normal.
But when you say:
“Invest $50–100 in a new skill that could potentially increase your future income”
people immediately respond:
“What if it doesn’t work?”
“Too expensive”
“Not the right time” 😄
And here’s the interesting part.
A phone will cost less in a year.
But the skill you gained a year ago can keep bringing you money for many years.
Of course, not every training or course will pay off. Investing in yourself can also be unsuccessful.
But without investing time, money, and effort, a new result usually doesn’t appear either.
Consumption happens. Skills can create value.
Sometimes the best purchase isn’t the one you can show your friends. 🧠
