THE 5 HABITS OF MONEY


You've heard me talk about The 5 Habits of Money. Or we may have had a discussion on what I do. You may even have my card. If you've never asked me about the habits. I'm gonna ask ME for YOU.....

WHAT ARE THE 5 HABITS OF MONEY?

1. HUSTLE: make money

2. FINANCIAL DIET: income=expenses

3. PAY YOURSELF: everyone else gets paid, why not you?

4. PIMP YOUR DOLLARS: make money work for you

5. C.Y.A.: cover your......assets.

WHY DO I NEED TO KNOW THE HABITS?

1. INDEPENDENCE:

We are expected to grow up some day. For most of us, it's taking longer than we or our parents expected. Part of growing up is to be independent of our parents. To have....Our own place to live. Our own car. Our own family. It takes some bread to make all these things happen. For most of us that means getting a job. Before you get a job, please UNDERSTAND THIS...

2. A J.O.B. CAN NOT MAKE YOU RICH:

How many people do you know who are FILTHY RICH just by working for someone else? I don't know anyone like that. My parents weren't like that. None of my friends who work for someone else aren't rich either. They all GET BY. But that's it. THEY JUST GET BY. Do you wanna know what a JOB stands for?

3. YOU CAN'T TEACH WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW:

The best part of being a human is: EVERYTHING IS LEARNED. Not much of what we know is inherent. No one is a BORN (fill in the blank) ex. natural born killer, jerk, surgeon, humanitarian. MONEY is no exception. Money is a tool. We must learn how it works. I learned about money. And I am still learning about money. Many times I learn the hard way. No matter how hard it is to learn, we must learn. Unless you live in a place where money is not necessary and doesn't affect you. For the rest of us, let's get our MONEY LIFE, HANDLED! I know there would be more useful and enjoyable things we could do INSTEAD of work.


DRAMA:

Do the 5 Habits help you? How?

Do the 5 Habits SCARE you? What scares you?

Instead of being at work right now, WHAT WOULD YOU RATHER BE DOING?

I'd like to know what scares you about money and how I can help. Holla at me, homie!
