Never Count Other People’s Money

Not surprisingly, the last post created some strong reactions, both positive and vitriolic. In my inimitably charming way, I said people who would judge where and how I spend my money should go fuck themselves. Now in case there was anyone I didn’t offend with that last post – let’s see if I can cover them with this one.

The Prudence of Spending Money

Last post we discussed why being “realistic” was a bad premise. I suggested that a better word to use when considering something that might be considered expensive, extravagant, or not realistic is prudent. So let’s go back to Tom’s original question about the ocean front room vs. the dumpster behind Denny’s view, let’s explore it in the prudent context.

Why Being Realistic is Usually a Horrible Idea

Expanding Your Prosperity Consciousness

We talk a lot here about expanding your consciousness. And a great deal about prosperity. So let’s tie them together and explore expanding your prosperity consciousness…

Managing Your Money

If someone offered you an extraordinary business opportunity, could you come up with $5,000 to do it? Do you always carry a few hundred dollars (or euros, pounds or whatever) of folding money around with you in case of emergency? If you needed $1,000 tonight for a hospital bill, could you handle it, or would you have to do an Easter egg hunt for it?

Poverty Consciousness – The Lie of the Lowest Bid

Yes, part of being prosperous is being prudent with money. It doesn’t make sense to pay 40 percent more for the same item because it has a certain brand logo on it. Just don’t confuse being cheap with being savvy. They’re not usually in sync. And most of the time, they’re mutually exclusive.

How Your Self-Sabotage Gets Started

You could actually turn down a job when you’re 20, reject a potential investment when you’re 30, and sabotage a promotion when you’re 40 – all because of a belief that you unknowingly adopted when you were six years old.

You Are a God

You are not meant to stay at this stage. You were born to become a catalyst, to love, create, and evolve. You were born to be rich and prosperous. But this requires self-awareness. Instead of being randomly provoked by thoughts others send your way, you must become the thinker of the thought, mindful enough to think about what you think about.
