Financial Freedom

Guy and Tom are two friends who work together in a similar capacity under the same company. They both are alike and different, alike in the sense that they share the same responsibilities and duties, but different in their reactions and willingness to perform these duties. Guy is always ready to perform them, even when unforeseen circumstances arise; he is simply always prepared. However, Tom is the direct opposite; he is in a constant state of panic and crisis based on the complaint that he does not have enough funds to support these situations.

The subject of concern is, what creates this significant difference between these colleagues?
