Many people that I meet who are TOTALLY B-R-O-K-E have all the appearances of being wealthy.
They …
- Have a great job
- Have a great education
- Started out life on a middle-class launch pad
- Wear awesome clothes
- Drive a super nice car – like a Mercedes
BUT …
They go home and park that car in front of a trailer – or in front of a 100%-financed house. They use a credit card to buy their food and gas. Their credit is trashed. And they wonder why they can’t ever seem to get ahead.
It’s called “STUFF-ITIS”. It is being afflicted with the DESIRE TO LOOK GOOD, and it is accompanied with the lack of ability to prepare and follow a real plan that allows them to prosper.
It is called – “All hat and no cattle.”
If this is you, TODAY is the day to set yourself free. Here are some practical steps you can take:
- YELL really loud
- Announce that you are SICK of living this way!
- Resolve to STOP signing up for any more debt.
- Prepare a spending plan BEFORE your next paycheck arrives and PLAN every dime before you actually receive it (FREE budgeting tools HERE).
- FOLLOW the plan!
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 EVERY SINGLE MONTH!!!
I like Mercedes. I like nice things. But NOT when they rob me of greater things. Who’s with me?
Amen!
We’ve been to your classes and have had private budget counseling sessions with you.
That’s actually how we got our ’97 Mercedes.
It has 180,000 miles and paid only $3,000 for it. We certainly weren’t looking for it we just found it it was a good price and it was a car my husband could work on easily. We put a few more hundred dollars into it and it runs great, leaks a little oil, but
NO car payment! And we did pay cash for everything!! So it’s all good….
