Broke Today, Wealthy Tomorrow? Only You Can Decide - By: Daniel Herzner

Does the name Jeff Foxworthy sound familiar to you? He's the star of “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” He gained his original fame as a standup comic using his signature one liners which began with the statement, “you know you’re a redneck when...”

I'm guessing he won’t mind if I borrow his concept for this article. This article's title is “You know you’re broke when...” because there are a number of signs which will tell you whether or not you’re broke and more importantly, whether or not you’ll stay that way.

I think you’ll find these concepts interesting so, without further ado, let's get right to it.

You know you're broke when...

you talk with others about wages and not profits. Broke people rely upon this antiquated thing called a job to maintain their lifestyle. Having a job means you’re an employee and employees are wage driven.

More than likely a wealthy person is an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs work for business profits and see wages for what they are; slavery.

Wealthy people work for profits whereas broke people work for wages.

You know you're broke when...

you have a boss deciding how much income you'll receive. Wealthy people decide this type of thing for themselves.

Broke people get a raise in their income when their boss decides to give them one. Wealthy people get a raise in their income because they’ve decided to give themselves one.

You know you're broke when...

you file your tax return as soon after January 1st as possible. When you do you're anxiously anticipating the amount of your own money you'll get back from the government...free of interest.

Wealthy people on the other hand file their returns as close to the April 15th filing deadline as possible. It is very commen that wealthy folks will owe taxes and they never want to give the government their money any sooner than need be.

You know you're broke when...

you're spending more time every week watching TV than reading books. Wealthy people know that time is the most important asset they have and choose not to waste it watching TV excessively. Instead, they invest their time wisely into good quality business and personal development books.

You know you're broke when...

you're making payments toward credit card balances each month. Wealthy people pay off the entire credit card balance every month.

Broke people make credit card payments merely trying to handle their debt on a month by month basis. Wealthy people do not carry credit card debt forward.

You know you're broke when...

more time is spent planning your annual two weeks of vacation than planning a strategy for growing your bank account. Vacations are just as important to a wlalthy person as they are to anybody else. But, they also know that when they put a sufficient amount of time into planning how to grow their bank account, they can then take more vacations...far many more vacations.

If this sarcastic article made you feel even a bit uncomfortable, then, guess what, you're broke.

On the flip side, if reading this article made you laugh then congratulations, there's a really good chance that you are wealthy. Or, you’re at least well on your way to becoming wealthy.

If you did not get a chuckle out of this article then it's time for you to fix your situation. You have been given only one shot at this lifetime of yours. Don't squander it on being something less than you can be.

Or would you rather live the life of freedom and abundance that you so richly deserve? The choice is entirely yours.

You can go ahead and fall asleep tonight and wake up tomorrow morning and start your routine all over again. Or, you can make this your turning point. You can use what you've just read to make now the time for a positive transformation. Nobody's gonna do it for you, only you can do it for yourself.
