Too Broke To Invest

It never ceases to amaze me, how so many people claim and profess to be "too broke to invest". The truth is, if you're blessed to have a job, and you receive pay, you're not "too broke to invest". Listen-up, your words are powerful, whatever you tell yourself to believe whether it's true or not, becomes-your truth. And whatever you chose to believe about yourself-is true.

If you constantly say the words "I'm too broke to invest" I promise you, you will be. Whatever you try to do to improve your financial situation will end in failure. Your words are more powerful than you could ever imagine. And whatever you think, your actions will follow. If you think you're nothing, then you are nothing. You take control of your life by first taking control of your mind; you become the master of self. Now, unless you're a modern day slave or you're working for some old school pimp who takes your money, and even if that's the case, trust me, you still have the power of choice. Yes, that's right! Each day, we choose whom or what thought we shall serve. When you get paid, you are the master; you have the choice to pay whomever you decide. And if your credit's bad, you've already flexed your muscles and made the choice of who's not getting paid. Now it's time to make sure that pay yourself first since you're the master and the boss of yourself.

For some psychotic reason many of us think that paying for a car or buying luxuries and having a good time is the same as paying yourself. Nothing could be further from the truth. Paying yourself is doing something that increases your assets, your net worth. Buying cars, clothes and maintaining superficial living habits doesn't add anything of value to your net worth. What if the government imposed a new law that said "Anyone and everyone who's over the age of 18, and has been working for more than 20 years, will be put to death in 5 years if your net worth is less than $250,000."? In other words, all of the non-productive, space taking, traffic jam causing, welfare system abusers, unwanted or uncared for baby donors have to go! Wow! In other words, be responsible or die! Still think you're "Too Broke To Invest"?
