Are you broke? In debt up to your eyeballs? Think about the following quote. It is a very honest statement about so many people living in the Instant Gratification society that has become really big in America.
Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like. – Will Rogers
Will Rogers died in 1935. This quote is over 80 years old. Society has gotten worse, not better, about it's spending habits. Instead of trying to impress people with all your latest gadgets, save your money and create MOMENTS. Memories are made of happy times, not gadgets.
When you look back at your life - do you want see that you worked your ass off to buy all the latest gadgets and pay off the debt on a megahouse that you can't afford, or would you rather think about the great times relaxing over a card game (think cheap entertainment) with your children or getting a cup of coffee with a friend? In the end, will a closet full of designer clothes really be more important than living debt free, having peace of mind, and spending time you would have needed to work to pay for those fancy duds, with your loved ones instead?
Being RICH is not just a financial statement. Being RICH is a choice we make to have peace of mind. That is priceless.
