We recently started a series on our blog where every two weeks, we explore money and personal finance through the lenses of different animals around the world, drawing lessons and making connections to the human world and our times.

On the last episode which was also the first, we evaluated the lessons we could learn from rabbits and it will amaze you how much there is to actually learn from these animals, in case you missed it, you can catch up here:

In this episode, we will look at a money lesson we can learn from frogs. There’s no point being proud here, if the frogs have something to teach us, why not?

So, let’s dive in on one of the main lessons we can learn from frogs.

Know When To Jump

Frogs are known for their ability to leap and jump. Long-legged frogs use quick powerful jumps to escape from predators.  

A jumping frog can leap away from danger in an instant, and hide safely inside the water. In fact, a report shows that, many frogs can jump 20 times their body length.

But what does all these teach us about money?

There's a right time and a wrong time for almost everything. Jump too soon or jump too late and you might miss the opportunity or pay a higher price.

With stocks or Forex, everyone knows that you're supposed to buy low and sell high, and if you've ever bought or sold a property, you also know how important timing can be.

But you can also save on more everyday purchases by buying at just the right time.

You probably know that clothes go on sale at the end of each season, but did you know that appliances and home furnishings and floors are heavily discounted in January?

It's also a good idea to spot opportunities with ecommerce stores like clearance sales, anniversary sales, etc.  By waiting for this kind of deals/opportunities to make a purchase, you will be saving significantly.

When planning for vacation or holidays, you should also consider that fares might be unnecessarily higher when there is a general event like Christmas. If it is not completely necessary, you can work your travel plans into a less busy period when the demand for both transportation and hotel is generally less. This is a great way to save money.

Conclusion

The frogs have taught us that evaluating the environment – both physical and financial - before we make certain decisions is very important to the success of the action,

Achieving financial freedom is a goal for many people. It generally means having enough savings, investments, and cash on hand to afford the lifestyle you want for yourself and your family—and a growing nest egg that will allow you to retire or pursue the career you want without being driven by earning a certain amount each year.

Being strategic about the decisions you make, how, and when you make them could be the determining factor on whether your financial journey has been successful or not.

We hope that you have learned a thing or two from this episode that will take you closer to your financial goal. In the next episode of this series, we will be picking some vital lessons from snakes – yes you read right – snakes have lessons to teach us about money as well, watch out for it.
