1. We don’t need no education…
Refusing to invest in yourself and increase the value of one’s inherent skills will cause one to remain in poverty. You can’t expect to receive a CEO salary with no formal training in no specific area.
2. Develop an addiction
An addiction could be anything from frivolous spending, bad eating habits to time wasted. It’s not limited to substance abuse.
3. Never save
It’s a known habit among those who are frugal with money, you pay yourself first, then you pay your bills. 10% is a good place to start, but if you can’t, try 1%, 2% etc. You are the most important person to pay, not bills.
4. Borrowing
Borrowing isn’t bad if you plan to invest it wisely. If you’re borrowing for frivolous things, (Shoes, handbags, jewelry, a new car to show off to friends etc.) your sure to be the slave to the lender forever.
5. Go directly to jail
Formally being incarcerated can hinder one’s prosperity; intentionally committing a crime thinking it’s going to lead to your well-being is a sure way to cause one to remain in poverty. However, it’s already proven if one set their mind to success, an incarceration record cannot stop them. Ask Judge Mathis....
6. Stay in a dead-end low-paying job
Never get comfortable with a paycheck alone, or stay on a job that leads to nowhere. One must be willing to take a calculated risk and expand their horizon and change jobs if you’ve already hit a ceiling where you work.
7. Avoid work altogether
The Bible says, “If a man doesn’t work, he shouldn’t eat.“ II Thessalonians 3:10
It’s one thing if an individual is disabled, it’s another when an individual chooses not to work due to laziness.
—————————
I’ll end up with this, if one is looking for their prosperity to come from a politician, a hand out alone, Washington etc., your sure to remain in poverty.
Anyone that’s ever made anything of themselves, it was because they applied themselves. You can do it!
