SERIES: How To Be Broke – Part 04
Welcome to the latest series here at the wildly popular JosephSangl.com! In this series, I will be sharing the top ways that people end up being financially broke. If you want to be BROKE, be sure to follow every single one of these tremendous ideas. On the other hand, if you want to win with your money – do the OPPOSITE of these amazing tips!
Part 04 Let your spouse handle all of the money and money decisions.
This is a great way to become broke! Refuse to participate in any money related decisions. Here is a great list of excuses you can use:
- “My spouse is just so much better with money than I am.”
- “Dealing with money stresses me out and gives me a headache.”
- “They spend most of it so let them deal with it.”
- “As long as I have enough for what I want, do whatever you want with the rest.”
Since we know that financial struggles and divorce are at least first cousins, be sure to shut down when your spouse wants to discuss the finances. Let them carry all of the load themselves. Marriage is grand. Divorce is at least a hundred grand. This is a sure-fire way to ensure you remain broke.
QUESTION: If you are married, do YOU truly work together with your spouse on money related decisions?

SERIES: How To Be Broke – Part 03

Part 03 Never say NO!
It is no fun to say the word “No!” anyway. We don’t like to say the word to our children, and we definitely don’t like saying it to ourselves! So, stop saying, “No!” Just give in to everything that you, your spouse, and your children want.
- Buy another video game (because they only have 91 already – with three different game consoles)
- Purchase another toy (and watch them play with the box more than the toy itself)
- Buy a new car (even though the other car was just fine – and nearly paid for)
- Go out to eat for the 20th meal this month (at TRIPLE the cost of a home-cooked meal)
- Go to the movies multiple times (at the low low price of a movie ticket – and a big-gulp soda)
On the other hand, let’s use the word “No!” for one thing: Saving for the future. Say “No!” to putting money into the retirement account and college fund. “Just say no!” to saving money for future plans, hopes, and dreams.
Employ these great tips, and you will be on your way to being completely broke!

Part 02 Never prepare or follow a budget.
Budgets stink. They are terrible. Here are all of the reasons budgeting is awful and should be avoided on our journey to be broke:
- Budgets require time
- Budgets are hard
- Budgets make us face reality (that INCOME – OUTGO = EXACTLY ZERO)
- Budgets remind us that dreams cost money
- All a budget will do is remind us that we are broke anyhow (and we don’t need a budget to know THAT)
- Budgets require us to do math (and many believe Satan invented math – and he absolutely invented calculus!)
- Only poor people have to do a budget
- Budgeting only leads to fights with my spouse
- I don’t earn enough money to budget
In your journey to live a financially broke life, make sure you live, breathe, and believe these reasons as truth. Refuse to believe that life can be a grand adventure and that your needs and dreams can be funded.

SERIES: How To Be Broke – Part 01
Welcome to the latest series here at the wildly popular JosephSangl.com! In this series, I will be sharing the top ways that people end up being financially broke. If you want to be BROKE, be sure to follow every single one of these tremendous ideas. On the other hand, if you want to win with your money – do the OPPOSITE of these amazing tips!
Part 01 Refuse to have a written plan for your life.
One sure way to ensure that your money is not maximized is to refuse to dream about what your life could be. You see, written dreams and goals can be very troublesome because they help you recognize their power and cause you to understand just how much each one will cost. This is never good if you are choosing to be a financial failure. To ensure you remain broke, choose to ignore your life. Walk unconsciously through each day. Say unhelpful things like:
- “I’m just trying to make it through the day.”
- “I’ll never be able to afford that.”
- “Life is not fair.”
- “Why is that person blessed, but not me?”
- “The light at the end of the tunnel is just an oncoming train.”
In your quest to be broke, choose to ignore the fact that every day is a gift and instead complain about everything that is wrong. Instead of making progress toward a dream, spend your time pointing out all the reasons why achievement of the dream is not possible or choose to envy someone else who has accomplished their dream.
QUESTION: Do YOU have a written plan for your life?

Got Oxen? – Part 06
This is a series of posts containing excerpts from my latest book, Oxen, which releases on Tuesday, October 30, 2012! Pre-order your copy today and receive 20% off!
With new revelation and life-revolutionizing understanding, I embarked on a journey to find and acquire oxen. I talked to anyone who would listen and several who would not. I pondered it day and night. In fact, I talked so much about Proverbs 14:4 that my mother even wrote it down on a small dry erase board she keeps on the refrigerator. It has remained written there for over ten years. Every time I visit my parents, it is a constant reminder that this teaching must be shared with others.
There is a choice each person must make. In pursuit of financial abundance, you can choose to rely on yourself and your own abilities, or you can acquire oxen to help you. Don’t miss my wording here. It is a choice, whether a conscious one or not, that each one of us will make as we journey through life.
I have chosen to acquire oxen, and have found Proverbs 14:4 to be absolutely true. While my family’s oxen acquisition journey has been adventurous, frightening, incredible, and exciting, I have discovered that the strength of oxen has indeed led to an abundant harvest. The same can be true for you. All you need is some good oxen.
Now I have one question for you:
Got oxen?
