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.

You got it wrong here:-

[s]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!
[/s]
So petty trading, network marketing and home based production is for people who never went to school?

Do you know anything about small beginnings?
Dangote started with a shop in Kano, Coscharis started with petty trading at Iddo, ask the mega Nnewi billionaires how it all started that CNN has to produce a brief documentary tagged ''Nnewi Phenomenon'' to talk about entrepreneurship in Africa.

Network marketing has been understood and misconstrued by many. Are all civil servants who are graduates living a better life than Multilevel marketers? Unfortunately in Nigeria we do not have statistics for every sector, MLM is putting smiles in the life many and there is no stopping to it.

Lastly home based production, why will you pick on this biko?
How do you start in life? Great things have small beginnings. Start small and think big. Rome was not built in a day. May be you need to read the history of the richest woman on planet earth today. She started with home production and today she rules the world.

There are innumerable derelict graduates in Nigeria. Many of them work for the so called illiterates. I think Alaba International, Trade Fair Complex, Idumota/Balogun markets with other markets and petty businesses employs more people more than Lagos state put together. And many of the employers there are non-graduates and graduates who took the way you are talking down on.

And Warren Buffet does not go to work daily neither does he wake up by 5am, yet he is richer than Dangote.

UIA04:
I believe what you stated is means an end , I heard dangote works 18hours every day and we all can see the fruit of his labour
if you wake up 5am to go to work then you are likely to do same if you have your own business too.

likewise the savings, when you have little then you can save when things are blossoming.

I disagree that only the negatives was pointed out; the writeup literally indicated the positives too. If you do everything posited in the article, you may grow poor but if per-chance you inculcate the habit of not doing all aforementioned, your tendency for riches is high. It all goes back to your basic application of what you see in the write-up.

Nwaonyeocha:
And Warren Buffet does not go to work daily neither does he wake up by 5am, yet he is richer than Dangote.

so you think he didn't do all those things when he was younger. there are natural laws that govern success and you cant escape it using any short cuts. go and read the richest man in Babylon.

any successful person must have paid his dues in Line with what the op said, when i said successful I dont mean someone who just acquired wealth suddenly. why have you never seen a millionaire or billionaire over five ,ten',twenty years or so who acquired his money through lottery. because most people who bet don't have good foundations so when the money comes in they spend it anyhow hoping to get more later.

when I talk of success I'm not only talking of money , Jesus Christ used to wake up before daybreak to pray when all his disciples were enjoying sleep why didn't he say I'm the son of God I can do what I like.

about your question ,you don't live with warren buffet so you don't know when he wakes up , besides if he used to wake up very early when he was building his companies he will be used to it by now. do you know that Warren buffet who is a billionaire still lives in the same house his kids where born , but when a poor man gets a raise in salary his lifestyle increases.
