Don’t spend what you haven’t earned. Avoid financial debt. Don’t spend money you haven’t earned. Avoid social debt. Don’t spend goodwill you haven’t earned. Avoid calendar debt. Don’t spend (free) time you haven’t earned. The disciplined earner can be a guilt-free spender.

Negotiate expenses yearly. Analyze all of your expenses and eliminate anything you no longer need. With your biggest expenses, look up the latest pricing of their competitors and ask them to beat the lowest price. If there is no relevant competitor, ask for 20% off.

Money is a funny thing. People have these imaginary numbers in their head of how much money they need to be “good” Truth is, most people adjust their lifestyle to their income even subconsciously and and they end up feeling like they need/want more.

The people around me growing up taught me that the perception of having money was more important than obtaining wealth through their actions. Those bad influences are continuing to impact future generations. We have to take personal responsibility to change that.

I just hope you guys realize a lot of this stuff is fleeting and really not that important at the end of day. Success/money can be here today, gone tomorrow. They can love you one day, and cancel you the next. Can’t base your self-worth and sanity into this stuff.

Walking away from money when the deal isn’t right is one of the hardest things to do. But peace of mind and knowing your worth is invaluable.

cutting things that you only spend money on for external validation will have your finances looking 👌🏾

1/ What’s a digital currency? It’s programmable money directly issued from the central bank to citizens. Right now, banks are intermediaries and central bank doesn’t issue money directly to citizens. Read more here: twitter.com/paraschopra/st…
