Why Most People Would Always Be Poor

The title looks bleak so is a life of poverty. There is no way of sugarcoating this, so it is better we have the cold hard irrefutable fact, than live in the daydreams of turning a millionaire before the age of 25 when all the effort put towards achieving that is playing PlayStation Games, and having accounts in all social media (not a bad thing if leveraged right) with a following that would rival that of Selena Gomez Instagram followers.

Keeping Up With the Joneses

Mr. James bought a new car, and because of that, Mr. John decided to buy. After all, they are colleagues and John do not want to be seen as the man who is not doing well. John buys the car and is in debt now. He could afford not to buy but John cares about what people think of him. To be rich, you should not bother with such trivialities. People would always say a lot of things, but the minute you learn to develop a thick skin, they would know that discussing you is a futile venture.

A little tip here:

The poor think about what people think of them while the rich could not care less. By the end of the day, what people think DOES NOT MATTER and should not form the basis of your financial decisions.

If you do not want to be like the majority of the people, I think it is only natural you do not behave or do the things the majority of the people are doing.

If Time spent = Money Earned

Time is a valuable resource which should not be spent on trivialities.
The cliché time is money is a well known one. But the poor had always been known to work for every penny they earned. Is that supposed to be a good thing? Do not get this the wrong way. But, if the only point money is earned is when a work is executed, or when the person spends time working, there is a high likelihood that the person would never be rich.

Most would choose the clear path as it is the easy way. But you won't be the only one walking on that path. So, to make money is not an easy affair, most get-rich-quick gurus would tell you it is. But that is a misconception, making money requires some backbreaking hard work and dedication, at least, at the very beginning of building the empire. Unless, a rich aunt suddenly died and left you some huge sum of money, starting off a money-making enterprise from the scratch, have never been easy.

Most looking for the secret of success are always looking to follow the easy clear smooth path. But there is no free lunch for those who want to break out from the vice of poverty. You have to pay the dues before the popping the champagnes.

It is a sure move into getting out of the crowd and making it to the top where the few rich guys are.

Conclusion

In conclusion, to be rich you have to be able to trust your instinct and do things the hard way. The easy way most of the time yields the result that makes the poor who they. Most made men are known to be "headstrong", they trust their instinct so much they do not allow people talk them out of a business opportunity that would nine times out of ten make them richer.
