Phrase: Flush with cash
So, how are you doing? Not mentally or physically, financially.
Are you flush with cash, or does your bank account look like the bottom of a bar’s beer keg early on a Saturday morning?
We’ve all been witnessing prices increasing recently.
Some call it inflation; others call it shrinkflation, while a few say it’s ‘excuseflation,’ where companies blame an increase in operation costs for increasing prices and, thus, profit margins.
Whatever the reason, not many people are feeling flush with cash for as long as they used to.
When you are flush with cash, you have a lot of money for a short period.
Have you ever been paid one day and smiled when you looked at your bank account statement?
You smiled because you were flush with cash.
Unfortunately, that feeling is ephemeral because you paid your bills within a few days and watched your statement rapidly return to its natural state.
Yeah, being flush with cash is a great feeling.
But it’s an emotional roller coaster.
You’re up one minute only for the reality of increasing prices to bring you down the next.
However, let’s not focus on the negative here.
Let’s focus on the positive.
Being flush with cash is like being high on life.
Yes, the high of being flush with cash may be fleeting, but the good times will come again.
Income is like the tide.
It comes in, and it goes out.
We shouldn’t worry too much about controlling it because we can’t.
I’ve learned to give unto Caesar that with is Caesar’s.
