Wealth File #14 Rich people manage their money well. Poor people mismanage their money well.

Wealthy people are not any smarter than poor people; They just have different and more supportive money habits.

The single biggest difference between financial success and financial failure is how well you manage your money. It's simple: To master money, you must manage money.

Poor people either mismanage their money or they avoid the subject of money altogether. Many people don't like to manage their moeny because, first, they say it restricts their freedom, and second, they say they don't have enough money to manage.

As for the first excuse, managing money does not restrict your freedom to the contrary, it promotes it. Managing your money allows you to eventually create financial freedom so that you never have to work again.

As for those who use the "I don't have enough money to manage" rationale, they're looking through the wrong end of the scope. Rather than say "when I have plenty of money, I'll begin to manage it," the reality is "when I begin to manage it, I'll have plenty of money? First you start properly handling the money you have, then you'll have more money to handle.

We live in a kind and loving universe, and the rule is "Until you show you can handle what you've got, you won't get anymore!"

You must acquire the habits and skills of managing a small amount of money before you can have a large amount. Remember, we are creatures of habit, and therefore the habit of managing your money is more important than the amount.

It comes down to this: either you control money, or it will control you. To control money, you must manage it.

Declarations: "I am an excellent money manager."
Touch your head and say.. "I have a millionaire mind!"

 Loss is painful, guilt can be devastating. Worse than losing one's dream is the knowledge that the loss was self-inflicted. Problems are solutions that have outlived their usefulness. Problems are pattern that were learned in emotional circumstances during one period of life and that now have taken an existence of their own. Many times, outdated solutions replay themselves in a variety of life situations, leaving people mindlessly repeating their mistakes in work, love, and trading. There can be no free will for people who are locked into patterns developed for past challenges. Successful traders are therapists both learn to do what comes unnaturally. The resolution to problems can be found in what people are doing when those problems are not occurring. The problem with many traders is not that they have problems, but that they are focused on their problems. It is this problem focus that prevents them from appreciating what they are doing right, that blinds them to solutions alrea...

Three Choices

When we are unhappy and our Life Conditions do not match our Blueprint, we have three choices as to how we’re going to handle the challenge: First Choice: Blame The first choice people have is to assign blame, and there are three things you can blame: a) Event . There’s a story, something that happened, behind why things are the way they are. However accurate the story may be, blaming an event is convenient because it helps preserve an identity designed to shield us from our true fears: fear of failure and fear of not being loved or accepted. b) Others . “I’m in this situation because this person …” Similarly, the story may be true, but it’s convenient and gives you comfort in the moment. “There’s nothing wrong with me. It’s this other person. There’s nothing I need to change.”  c) Yourself . Most people think that this is being responsible, but blaming yourself will not make it better. There’s a difference between responsibility and beating yourself up—between “Here’s a pattern th...

Wealth File #15 Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money

Working hard is important, but working hard alone will never make you rich. Rich people can spend their days playing and relaxing because they work smart. They understand and use leverage. They employ other people to work for them and their money to work for them. You do have to work hard for money. For rich people, however, this is a temporary situation. For poor people, it's permanent.. Rich people understand that "you" have to work hard until your "money" works hard enough to take your place they understand  the more your money works, the less you will have to work. To win the money game, the goal is to earn enough passive income to pay for your desired lifestyle. In short, you become financially free when your passive income exceeds your expenses. Rich people think long-term. They balance their spending on enjoyment today with investing for freedom tomorrow. Poor people think short-term. They run their lives based on immediate gratifications.
