How To Remain Poor by Nobody: 9:40am On Aug 02, 2013
Please adhere strictly to the following rules so as to remain poor for as long as you wish.

#1. Never wake up early: - Keep stretching and turning in bed until you get too hungry to continue dozing. If there are no bedbugs, why hurry to get up?

#2. Never plan how to spend your money: - Whenever you get money, start spending it right away and when it’s finished, you try to count and recall how you spent it.

#3. Don’t think of saving until you have real big money: - How can you save when you earn so little? Those telling you to save are not sympathetic to your burning needs.

#4. Don’t engage in activities usually reserved for the “uneducated”:
- How can you a graduate engage in petty trade or home based production? That’s for people who never went to school.

#5. Don’t think of starting a business until an angel comes from heaven and give you Capital: - How do they expect you to invest before you get millions of Naira? Even though more than half the businesses in your town were started with a few hundred Nairas, you as a smart person can only start with millions.

#6. Complain about everything except your own attitude: - Blame the system, the government and the banks that refuse to lend you money. They are all bad and do not want you to get rich.

#7. Spend more than you earn: - to achieve this, buy consumer products on credit and keep borrowing from friends and employers.

#8. Compete in dressing: - Make sure you wear the latest clothes among all workers in your office. Whenever your neighbor buys a new phone, go get the one that is more expensive.

#9. Get yourself a nice second-hand car: - Just get one that costs more than three times your gross five years’ salary.

#10. Give your children everything they ask for since you’re such a loving parent: - They should not struggle for anything because you do not want them to suffer. That way, they will grow up lazy and poor enough and unable to support you in old age.
