I looked it up, and there are many theories. One of them is that the God of Wealth is Cai Jing of the Song Dynasty. Cai Jing is very rich. We know it from the history textbooks in junior high schools. He happened to be born on the fifth day of the first lunar month, so the people regard him as the God of Wealth.

Come and worship.

Another theory is that it was Wang Yuanbao from the Tang Dynasty.

They were all wealthy people at that time.

From this point of view, the God of Wealth is not the real God, but the rich people at that time. Just like people today, calling Jack Ma Yun Ma Daddy, they are essentially worshiping the God of Wealth.

Over the past few hundred years, our desire for wealth has been the same as the ancients.

You can worship Jack Ma instead of worshiping the so-called God of Wealth in the past.

How could the gods of the past understand the wealth of today.

And Dad Ma manages our Alipay. If you pay more attention to Dad Ma today, maybe Alipay will have hundreds of millions more tomorrow.

By the way, there is another modern God of Wealth, also named Ma, Ma Huateng.

Instead of worshiping the ancients, it is better to worship the two horses, Jack Ma and Ma Huateng. One manages Alipay and the other manages WeChat.

What's more important is that they are all still alive. If you say goodbye more, you still have a chance to let them know.

No matter how much you worship the deceased God of Wealth, they will never know.

But there are so many people who want to be rich, and Father Ma obviously doesn’t have enough.

Today, when classes are becoming more and more solidified, it is becoming more and more difficult to make a fortune, so this can also explain why so many people worship the God of Wealth, because this thing is really difficult and there is little hope.

But I obviously didn’t think so when I came to Beijing more than ten years ago. The first job I found in Beijing had a monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan. I thought I would double my salary through my own efforts so that I could buy a house and a car.

The big flop in life is coming.

Ten years later, as I had hoped, my salary had doubled.

But the house price has increased many times, and there are also purchase restrictions, so you can't buy it at all.

After ten years of hard work, ten years of hard work, we are back to ten years ago overnight.

Later, I went to study how these rich people got rich. There are thousands of ways, and most of them rely on entrepreneurship, including Jack Ma and Ma Huateng, who founded their own companies and achieved financial freedom.

But I took into account the limitations of my personality.

It is difficult to start a business, and even if it does, the chances of failure are high.

This is when I discovered Buffett.

Buffett has achieved wealth accumulation and growth through stock trading.

Stock trading does not require a shrewd business acumen, and there are no complicated interpersonal relationships. You can start doing it as long as you understand the basic rules. It fits my personality, so I did it.

I lost a lot of money by rashly entering the stock market.

The good thing is that I'm lazy and don't move after buying stocks, so even if the stock market fluctuates a lot, my stocks are always between making money and losing money, repeatedly. Over time, the value of the company will be reflected.

I continued to understand the stock market, adjusted my positions, and began to make sustained profits.

Starting from stocks, I began to research funds and financial management. After I tasted the benefits, people around me came to consult.

In 2018, I will use this official account to publish some of my thoughts on financial management.

It is still the same as what was written in the previous article. Most people should not touch stocks. Buying funds is the best choice. Among funds, index funds are recommended, and among index funds, the CSI 300 is recommended.

Most books or articles on financial management do not give a clear conclusion after analyzing a lot of theories. Some give conclusions but no methods.

Because they are theoretical researchers, I was a practitioner from the beginning, using my own real money to practice.

Even if the income from financial management has exceeded my salary, I will not give up my job, because salary is a continuous and long-term cash flow, which is a necessary condition and prerequisite for financial management.

To use a less vivid metaphor, working means making money while standing up, while managing finances means making money while lying down.

But if you don’t stand, you won’t realize the benefits of lying down.

Worshiping the God of Wealth is worse than making money on your own.
