Atkins, South Beach, Low Carb, Veggies, Seefood. For as many different types of people, there is a different type of diet. Why do we still think that the next diet will be the one that makes us lose the weight we want?
We spend so much time and energy towards dieting. Why don't we spend as much time towards dieting our money. Huh? Money Diet??? Yup. Money diet. I'm not talking bout you eating money. I'm talking about putting your money on a diet.
Why do we work out and watch what we eat? To lose weight. To feel better. To look better. to be healthy. Did I miss anything?
In the same way, I'd like you to think what it'd be like to put your money on a diet. Imagine an overweight, lazy, couch potato dollar bill. Do you see him? That fat ass Washington is just chillin on your couch. Eating your food. Taking up space. Doing absolutely nothing for you.
Is this how you want your money to be?
Or can you imagine this: You as the ruler of Egypt. Nice tan! Gold head dress with a cobra at the top of it. You look down from your throne to see all your dollar bills working their skinny asses off for you. Watch as your money bosses whup those bills. Your cash slaves are creating little cash slave babies. Each of those cash babies belong to you. More dollar bills to build up your empire.
The second Habit of the 5 Habits is: Financial Diet.
Financial Diet is a plan to keep your Money Life in good shape. This means, for example, that if you take home $3000 per month, then you should only spend up to $3000 per month. It's simple but not easy sometimes.
Financial diet is not a diet where you follow it for a week or a month. It is a habit. A habit, good or bad, takes at least 30 days to develop. The habit of financial diet will take just as long. But it's not the effort involved that we should focus on. Rather the results.
How good would it feel to know you're living a healthy money life? No added debt each month. Bills get paid. You're focused on making more, saving more, and investing more. So when you're done you don't gotta work no more. sweet.
Financial Diet Action Program:
1. Write down how much money you take home each month.
2. Calculate how much money you spend each month.
3. Find out how healthy your money life is: Money made - Money spent
4. If you need to get healthier....
option 1: Earn more money.
option 2: Cut down on expenses.
option 3: Do a little of both.
