Introduc=on  •  It’s  the  end  of  the  month  again  and  somebody  just  got  paid.  It’s  

usually  a  great  feeling  knowing  that  cash  from  somewhere  just  hit  your  bank  account  wai=ng  to  be  spent.  However,  just  a  few  minutes  later  aGer  looking  at  the  bank  statement  reality  creeps  it.  Your  once  beau=ful  salary  is  slashed  with  the  loan  you  have  to  pay,  the  home  bills  you  have  to  take  care  of,  the  maintenance  bills  and  all  those  other  crazy  bills.    

   •  Life  is  unfair  some=mes  isn’t  it?  its  no  wonder  some=mes  even  the  

best  of  people  cant  just  bear  it  anymore.  Ofcourse,  some  people  have  it  a  liLle  easier  than  others  but  if  you  want  to  talk  about  how  things  are  generally,  a  lot  of  people  are  struggling  to  make  ends  meet.  Being  broke  certainly  isn’t  cool,  but  it  doesn’t  mean  it  has  to  be  that  way  always.  But  before  we  even  go  into  understanding  why  many  of  us  today  are  just  broke  most  =mes,  lets  try  to  understand  what  being  broke  is  anyway?

Being  Broke  

•  Being  broke  simply  means  you  just  not  having  any  money.  There  are  things  you  want  to  buy  for  yourself  some=mes  but  you  always  search  your  wallet  only  to  find  there  is  only  dust.  It  doesn’t  mean  that  people  who  broke  don’t  actually  work;  you  might  be  surprised  that  some  actually  have  good  paying  Jobs.  But  here  is  the  truth,  being  broke  always  happens  at  some  point  in  a  person’s  life.  Now  we  go  to  the  juicy  part,  Why  are  we  always  broke?

5  Reasons  we  are  always  broke  Here  are  5  reasons  we  are  always  broke  and  for  each  reason  there  is  a  possible  solu=on  to  that  problem.

(1)  Your  Budget    •  Remember  that  example  of  somebody  who  just  got  paid  and  his  bank  

account  becomes  empty  that  same  =me?  Well,  that’s  how  it  is  for  most  people.  We  have  too  many  bills  to  take  of.  We  have  to  pay  for  rent,  we  have  to  pay  for  the  loan  (if  we  have  one),  we  have  to  pay  for  those  piano  classes,  extra  lessons  and  all  those  other  stuff.  When  it  comes  to  our  budget,  we  obviously  have  an  idea  of  how  our  monthly  expenditure  will  look  like.  But  here  is  the  thing,  whether  you  knew  this  or  not  whenever  we  are  planning  to  spend  there  are  always  those  essen=al  elements  and  none  essen=al  elements  in  a  budget.  What  are  we  talking  about?  When  we  say  the  essen=al  elements  we  are  talking  about  those  expenses  you  cant  just  do  without  such  as  rent,  electricity,  communica=on,  fuel  e.t.c  however  the  none  essen=al  elements  include  those  items  you  can  do  without  at  least  for  some  =me.  What  items  are  we  talking  about?  Well  items  like  going  to  par=es,  or  ea=ng  out  oGen  or  going  to  watch  a  movie  or  buying  luxurious  things.  I  bet  you  know  where  this  is  heading  already  don’t  you?

Con=nued……  •  If  you  want  to  avoid  being  broke  you  have  to  get  rid  of  some  expenses  you  do  monthly  out  of  your  income.  As  an  individual  you  are  never  going  to  get  rid  of  the  essen=al  expenses  because  your  need  them,  but  you  are  going  to  get  rid  of  the  none  essen=als.  You  need  to  ask  yourself  these  important  ques=ons  when  deciding  which  one  to  let  go  of.  Do  I  really  need  to  spend  this  amount  of  money  on  this  item  monthly?  Can  I  do  without  this  item  for  some  =me?  CuZng  down  on  spending  for  none  essen=als  would  certainly  go  a  milestone  into  ensuring  that  you  are  not  always  broke.  Easier  said  than  done,  but  that  is  just  how  reality  it.

(2)  You  are  an  Impulse  Spender    •  Whether  somebody  gets  a  good  salary  or  not,  he  has  to  avoid  making  spending  decisions  based  on  impulse.  What  is  impulse  spending?  Well  it’s  the  kind  of  spending  whereby  immediately  a  person  sees  something  in  the  store  which  he/  she  likes,  without  even  thinking  about  the  implica=ons  of  buying  that  item  he/she  just  buys  the  item.  Its  alright  to  make  such  decisions  on  small  less  expensive  items  assuming  that  it  is  done  moderately.  However,  if  you  do  it  on  really  expensive  goods  which  you  were  never  prepared  to  purchase  in  the  first  place  then  you  might  just  find  out  that  being  broke  will  always  be  part  of  your  life.

Con=nued……  

•  When  you  want  to  make  important  purchases,  make  sure  you  think  things  through  before  actually  geZng  an  item  for  yourself.  You  don’t  want  to  buy  something  and  months  down  the  line  you  regret  having  goLen  the  item  because  now  you  are  broke.  When  you  see  an  item  you  like  ask  yourself  these  ques=ons.  Can  I  afford  it?  Do  I  really  need  it  at  this  =me?  Can  it  wait  un=l  another  =me?  Easier  said  than  done,  but  that’s  just  how  it  is.

(3)  You  don’t  save    •  I  know  how  it  is,  nobody  likes  saving  and  not  even  i.  But  the  beauty  

about  saving  money  is  that  a  person  can  save  any  amount  that  he  wants.  He  can  start  small  and  see  his  money  grow  over  =me.  The  best  way  to  save  is  to  have  part  of  your  monthly  income  put  in  savings  account.  Alterna=vely,  you  could  save  that  hardcore  cash  in  your  own  home.  However,  the  only  trouble  with  saving  money  at  home  is  that  if  you  are  not  financially  disciplined  you  might  just  find  out  that  accessing  money  will  become  too  easy.  I  prefer  the  bank.  

•  Ofcourse  the  culture  of  saving  money  is  just  something  we  all  have  to  cul=vate.  It’s  just  like  learning  to  ride  a  bicycle.  You  might  fall  down  many  =mes  but  the  =me  will  come  when  you  will  actually  be  able  to  ride  the  bicycle  with  ease.  I  am  one  person  who  believes  that  saving  should  be  enjoyable.

Con=nued…..  

•  Start  saving  your  money  by  puZng  aside  some  amount  of  money  out  of  your  hard  earned  income  today

(4)  You  don’t  have  wide  Income  Streams    

•  Having  wide  income  streams  simply  means  having  a  wide  array  of  sources  of  income  that  finance  your  budget.  Most  people  usually  have  one  source  of  income,  few  have  2  sources  and  very,  very  few  have  many  sources  (usually  the  rich).  The  advantage  of  having  a  wide  source  of  income  is  that  if  one  of  these  fails  then  the  other  can  help  finance  your  budget.  Ofcourse  many  know  that  the  only  drawback  to  this  is  that  you  might  just  have  to  invest  more  =me  to  acquire  the  addi=onal  income.  Some  people  opt  to  get  a  second  job,  which  I  usually  don’t  like  myself.  But  that’s  just  the  sad  reality,  if  a  person  doesn’t  have  many  sources  of  income,  then  he  will  be  always  broke.  Establishing  addi=onal  sources  usually  takes  =me  and  effort  but  once  they  are  established,  then  you  are  beLer  posi=oned.

Con=nued…..  •  I  would  recommend  star=ng  your  own  business.  Easier  said  than  done  right?  Well  

some=mes  there  are  things  you  just  have  to  do  in  order  to  solve  a  problem.  Take  employment  for  example,  people  go  to  work  in  order  to  earn  an  honest  days  living.  But  believe  it  or  not,  some  of  these  people  don’t  enjoy  going  to  work  everyday.  In  fact  they  would  rather  have  something  else  to  do  rather  than  put  their  energy  into  something  they  never  enjoy.  So  why  do  people  go  to  work?  Not  because  they  want  to  but  because  they  have  to.    

 •  It  goes  the  same  with  having  a  side  business.  If  your  monthly  income  is  not  

enough,  you  just  have  to  find  a  way  to  supplement  your  low  monthly  income.  You  can  either  cut  home  expenditure  or  find  a  beLer  job  or  start  your  home-­‐based  business.  Star=ng  your  home-­‐based  business  is  a  beLer  op=on.  You  see  here  are  some  pointers  as  to  why  a  star=ng  something  at  home  is  a  best  op=on  compared  to  the  other  two.  First  of  all,  cuZng  home  expenditure  is  a  painful  especially  if  you  are  already  strained  with  expenses.  Secondly,  if  you  are  looking  for  another  job  usually  that  is  a  =me  consuming  process  which  in  most  cases  could  have  a  50/50  chance  of  success.  But  when  it  comes  to  business,  you  don’t  necessarily  need  a  lot  of  money  to  start  you  just  need  an  idea.

Con=nued…  •  Once  you  have  an  idea  and  an  idea  that’s  proven  to  work,  

then  rest  assured  whatever  liLle  resources  you  ve  acquired  you  can  invest  in  a  home  based  business.  What  home-­‐based  businesses  are  there?  BINGO!!  The  Internet  business.  Haven’t  you  heard  that  people  are  earning  a  living  online  and  right  from  home?  If  they  are  doing  it  so  can  you.  Here  is  a  video  I  usually  like  to  share  to  my  visitors  of  a  person  who  is  actually  earning  a  living  online.  You  can  follow  this  link.  hLps://goo.gl/sZSm

(5)  Your  Mindset  •  If  you  think  you  re  always  broke  then  you  will  always  be  broke.  It’s  all  in  

the  mind.  You  see  folks,  if  you  always  see  yourself  as  somebody  who  is  on  the  lower  end  of  the  economic  scale,  you  will  always  be  on  the  lower  end.  Why?  Whatever  ac=vity  you  do  will  be  the  kind  that  won’t  take  you  anywhere  because  that’s  how  you  have  programmed  your  mind.  But  if  you  see  yourself  as  somebody  who  is  one  day  going  to  be  earning  an  income  with  some  money  to  spare,  then  whatever  you  do  will  be  tailored  towards  achieving  that.  

 •  If  you  are  broke  today,  you  have  to  change  your  mindset  into  believing  

that  it  will  not  always  be  like  that.  As  soon  as  your  mindset  changes  the  ac=ons  you  start  taking  will  fall  into  place.  It  all  begins  from  there.  The  mindset  plays  a  huge  role  into  the  way  you  do  things.  You  will  become  a  beLer  saver  of  money,  a  beLer  person  in  the  way  you  do  things  and  a  beLer  person  in  the  way  you  do  everything.

The  Solu=on???  

•  Seat  down,  relax  and  then  think  through  about  whatever  it  is  happening  in  your  life  right  now.  Dig  into  your  mind  and  throw  away  all  those  nega=ve  thoughts.  Push  in  the  posi=ve  ones  and  start  to  really  dispel  all  that  being  broke  stuff.  We  are  not  saying  you  shouldn’t  tell  the  difference  between  fact  and  fic=on  but  train  your  thoughts  to  have  a  posi=ve  outlook.  Get  into  ac=on,  start  making  things  work  today.
