3 reasons why you are poor

What we do on a day-to-day basis defines who we are and influences many areas of our lives, including finances. Rich people are known to have habits that help them earn and not lose money. What is stopping you from being financially successful?

1. BLAME OTHERS

Successes in life almost always alternate with falls: we are all human and sometimes make the wrong decisions. The question is how do you react to failures, do they demoralize you, deprive you of the fuse to continue, do you take responsibility for what happened or blame others for everything: parents, teachers, business partners, government, corporations.

By blaming others for what happens to you, you unconsciously agree that the responsibility for your well-being lies in their hands. Why is it bad?

  • This waste of time and nerves will not make you richer. The people you blame for everything most likely just don’t care. Moreover, they may not even be aware of your existence. Choosing a reliable partner, the right business idea, recruiting a good team, accepting or rejecting a job offer – all this is your responsibility. Even if you were “advised” to act in a certain way or even “convinced”, you still made the final decision yourself. Don’t forget about it. This is exactly how rich people think: they take full responsibility for themselves, draw conclusions from their failures and move on.
  • It destroys relationships with those whom you blame for everything, and with everyone else too. Believing that a particular person, company or government is to blame for everything that happens to you, you concentrate on your own anger and resentment and stop experiencing any other feelings, and this repels others.
  • It prevents you from changing things. Believing that others are to blame for everything, you take a passive position and do not even try to find a way out. Only by taking responsibility for yourself, you can take a step towards your goals.

2. FOCUS ON ACTIVITIES THAT DO NOT IMPROVE LIFE

We all have a lot of worries and tasks that need to be done daily. The question is in what direction these classes change your life. Obviously, three hours on your work project will pay off more in the long run than three hours at the bar. What else is wrong with doing this?

  • They waste your timeand time is the most valuable resource.
  • They deprive you of money too. Here again the bar example seems appropriate. Or with weekly shopping trips for new things.
  • They prevent you from reaching your goals. The more time you spend on everything that does not bring results, the more distant your dreams and goals become.

What to do instead of continuing to waste time:

  • learn something new – face-to-face or online;
  • help friends or family members achieve their goals;
  • Write down your goals on paper and write out a plan to achieve them.
  • make a specific plan for the week and for the day;
  • talk to those who also want to change their lives and / or are burning with some idea;
  • play sports.

All this will definitely improve your life a little. At the same time, try to avoid things that harm your relationships with others and reduce your productivity, as well as:

  • reduce the time you spend in front of the TV, and certainly do not watch anything to the detriment of sleep;
  • try to play video games less (using them as a stress reliever is fine, but know when to stop);
  • reduce your consumption of alcohol and junk food (there are a lot of reasons to do this: these habits are harmful to health, reduce efficiency and increase the cost of doctors);
  • try to spend less time on social networks and use them properly – to connect with others and build your personal brand, and not to mindlessly consume content.

3. DISRESPECT TO OWN MONEY

How can such disrespect be manifested? Let’s figure it out.

  • Rejection of savings. At least 10% of your income should fall into the piggy bank. You will spend this money on something really important in the future, and you will also be able to invest wisely. Until you do this, the money doesn’t work for you—rather, you do.
  • Mindless spending. One of the worst forms of disrespect for money. Buying everything that catches your eye, but that you really do not need, you will remain poor. Especially if you’re doing it to impress others and “match” them.
  • Blind investment. In the hope of a quick and big profit, people lose everything they have earned. Don’t repeat their mistakes.
  • Gambling. It would seem that what’s wrong with trying your luck by investing only a small part of your income? The fact that your winnings and losses are completely independent of you. The result is unpredictable – so why risk what you have earned with such difficulty? In addition, it can be addictive, so stay away from casinos and lotteries.

Spend time, energy and money on what really depends on you and can lead to the desired results, do not run away from responsibility and respect your work and income. All this will help you break the cage of poverty and become a different person.
