If you want to be rich the rule of thumb is to teach others how to be rich.

People don't like the idea of thinking long term. Many are desperately seeking short term answers because they have money problems to be solved today.

I can't afford it' shut down your brain. it didn't have to think anymore. besides, it also brings up sadness. a helplessness that leads to despondency and often depression. 'How can I afford it?' opened up the brain. forced it to think and search fro answers. it also opens up possibilities, excitement and dreams and created a stronger mind and dynamic spirit.

Excuses cost a dime and that's why the poor could afford a lot of it.

The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left.

Investing isn’t risky; not being in control is risky.

Rich people buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle class tend to buy luxuries first.
