Millionaire


Wake up! That’s not true. It’s only an excuse to indulge your undisciplined
“I can’t wait for anything” mindset. If that’s the way you live your life, by refusing to put the
investment phase BEFORE the reward phase, then I pity you. Life will be hard indeed!

we buy things we don’t need.
with money we don’t have.
To impress people we don’t like.

“If your pattern is to spend everything you get,” says Kiyosaki, “an increase
in cash will just result in an increase in spending. Thus, the saying, ‘A fool and his
money is one big party.’ “ You’ve got to read his book Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
All this reflects Covey’s personality ethic. “Look at me, I’m important.” You
aren’t important because you qualified for a loan! You are not somebody special because
you have The Platinum Card. It just means that you qualified to get credit.
That’s not wealth, it’s debt. It’s fake. It’s superficial. You don’t need the pressure.

“The problem with money
is that it makes you do things you don’t want to do.”

How to win the war on debt


sTraTeGy 4-15:

Get the right attitude about debt.


Getting your debt in line is an
attitude before it is an action. You must
see debt for what it is. It’s a trap! Plain and
simple, it’s a nice technique to kill your future,
ruin your health and ruin your marriage. It’s
bondage.
You must come to despise it.^33 It’s
too alluring otherwise. It’s intoxicating. I
remember once going in for a simple $20,000
loan. I left the bank with $70,000. I got sucked into the trap. I grew up in poverty. Getting
credit was next to impossible when we were kids, but when I applied for the $20,000 loan,
my income was sky high. The bank gave me the loan, gave me a $20,000 limit credit card
and a $30,000 line of credit. I was flabbergasted.

in a hole...stop


digging”
