What Do the Wealthiest People Know That Others Don’t?
Math. The broke person really wanted a particular item but it was more
than $100, and he or she didn’t have it. When the item went on sale for
20 percent off, he or she rushed to one of those payday advance places
and borrowed the money to get it. The interest on those type of loans of
course negated the savings. But the person didn’t care and justified it
by thinking, “Oh well, it’s the same money anyway.” He didn’t realize
that the problem wasn’t how he bought the item.
Above all, if you can commit to living within your means, your means
will increase over time. Feeling broke today? Look at your paycheck. Now
imagine you didn’t have to spend all of that on car payments and a
house that’s bigger than what you need, and the credit card payments on
all the stuff you bought to fill it. Just imagine that whole paycheck
staying in your bank account and not going out the door to those
payments. You aren’t so bad off anymore, are you?
Now imagine what your savings account would look like in just one
year if you threw it all there and forgot about it. Because that’s where
you could be if you thought about money differently.
Successful people know it’s not about how much you make; it’s about how you spend it.
