5 Habits that Make People Stay In Poverty For Life by uprof(m): 9:38pm On Jan 26, 2020
Often time I ask myself" why do very few people rich and majority stay poor?"

In my quest to find answers to this question,I realized that the rich and the poor differ in what they think about and what they do

In this video I'm going to tell you 5 habits that make people stay in poverty for life.

1. They live below their means!. The habit of live below your means is doing more harms than good. With a view to living below their means, they cut down important cost on things that can make them go forward in life. Instead of living below your means why not focus on increasing your means. If you will be realistic cut down cost is like cutting down things that can make you happy. Psychologically most things we buy increase our happiness and self esteem.

In this short video I gave out suitable illustrations and reasons why people stay in poverty for life.

Yes! I agree. The scarcity mindset is not really helping us. You believe that giving out what you will make your situation worse off Which is not its from being generous with skills and values

.

Regarding assets and liabilities you need to consider the Flow of cash. If is it outward flow it an asset. Cash flow is the most important economic benefits to consider when buying asset

OK! if it doesn't bring cash it is a liability and if it does it is an asset. is that what you are saying?

You are very correct! people invest for capital gains and people also invest for cash flow. You have your choice.But for me I pay much attentions to cash flow while also benefiting from capital gains.

I have said this number of times, the internet is a great avenue to create wealth, only if we know how to use it positively, learn to earn from the internet, it;s a free world, the world is looking for creative mind to make an impact, millions are searching for what you are promoting daily online, identify your targeted audience, pitch your offers, make money...Simple.

Frugality is not supposed to be mistaken with being stingy. Frugality is about being economical and having a plan for your money.
You could earn 100k for example, and decide to budget 10% for people who need your assistance. Frugality is budgeting and sticking to a budget.

Frugality implies, to stick to buying necessary items. In this case you concentrate on need, and core importance, one can drive rickety Micra since what is necessary is transportation. But you don't pay much attention attention to how you can improve your standard of living so as to drive on venza,Benz. All these makes us feel good in a state of actualization.

When one's mentality changes,when buying on cars,what comes to mind will be brand new not Tokunbo or smuggled cars.. That is a life of abundance not frugality I repeat
