HOW TO REMAIN POOR

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 dollars? Even though morethan half the businesses in your town were startedwith a few hundred dollar, you as a smart person can only start with millons.

6. Complain about everything expect your own attitude. Blame the system,the government and the banks that refuse to lend you money. They are allbad and do not want you to get rich.

7. Spend more than you earn. To achieve this, buy consumer product on credit and keep borrowing from friends and employers.

8. Compete in dressing. Make sure you're wearing the latest clothes. Whenever your neighbour buys a new phone, you get one that is more expensive.

9. Get yourself a nice second hand car that costs more than three times your gross monthly pay.

10. Give your children everything they ask for since you're such a lovingparent. They should not struggle for anything because you do not want them to suffer that way, they will grow up lazy and hence poor enough to ensure they can't help you in old age.
