I'd recommend you read up 'rich dad, poor dad',read it about 15yrs ago and my view about Personal finance has never been the same.

Stumbled upon this and decided to share, these are 10 tips on how to remain poor in life.

*TIPS ON 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 bed bugs, 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, network marketing 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 gives you capital; How do they expect you to invest before you get millions? Even though more than half the businesses in your town were started with little capital, you as a smart person can only start with millions.

6.Complain about everything except your own attitude and laziness; Blame the system, the government and the banks that refused 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're wearing the latest clothes. Intimidate the congregation with your trendy fashions every Sunday. 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 yearly 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 hence poor enough to ensure they can't help you at old.

Biafra bushboy is right, OP is also right, whether you believe all that or not, it is partially correct, i've experienced it once and had to act fast and change, never save till u have big cash, trust me you would always be broke and poor, spend more that you earn or never plan or save and you sure would always be broke and poor, the truth is sometimes hard to understand, due is right, think guys, think and stop wasting energy on hating and insulting people who take out time to think, Nigerians have a big problem of never thinking and always complaining...

Don't mind the the OP and the poor-minded average fellows who subscribe unthinkingly to his perspective.

The inverse interpretation of OP's theory is for those that merely want to 'exist' as average, frugal plebeians who would die without enjoying the abundant goodness life has to offer. They would never know how it feels to demystify many 'things' with the sheer force of cash.

As I have seen, being rich is a matter of knowing how to 'piputa ego' or 'ja owo sita' (Igbo and Yoruba respectively) from xyz scheme on a constant basis - and making so much cash from that scheme that one invariably diversifies into other things to tie money down 'in case of incasity'.

You would never build the sort of obscene hotels and estates that rich men build all over Abuja, or buy the obscene vehicles they buy (for themselves and for their side chicks) by saving your widow's mite and jumping out of your bed by 4.am to rush to one useless N100k per month job.

Think up schemes or opportunities, work smart rather than hard, identify the big, fruitful tree and latch onto its branches. That's the only way to riches. Alternatively, hope to get lucky. Otherwise you are condemned to a life of abject averageness at best. Who dash you 'rich'?

Thank God people like you are still in existences... we would have been having a world filled with graduates who are just surviving...

Remain Big...

Written based on Nigerian mentality, will be laughed at in civilized societies:

Commonsense:
- Do not have children you cannot feed in Nigeria.

-Do not marry more wives than you need

-Do not give money to private jet buying pastors.

-Do not spend you days in church serving useless religions and unproven gods.

-Do not think that flying abroad is the only way to become successful, some of the richest people in the world are farmers with less arable land than Nigeria!

Let me ask you a question,...

Do you wanna wake up everyday around 5am, dashing off to your 100k job and trying to save 30k from it monthly(according to Op)

If No, then help me define being Rich...

And I will tell you ways to be rich...

Have a nice day cutie.
