THE ECONOMY: LACK OF CASH FACTS

Published by vphipps at 4:37 pm under news Edit This

They say, “Unless we face the facts, the facts will bite our behinds all the time.” Today, in the USA, we find that’s true and the latest economic disaster has created even more issues, so before it’s too late, let’s face the facts.LACK OF CASH FACTS:

1. Overspending and Over-lending:

We’ve made the big mistake of pretending to be richer than we really are, and the amount we spend exceeds our incomes by far. When we spend more than we earn, we find in time that our debt is increased to the extreme, so why are we surprised? We get loans for homes we can’t afford to own, and then, we blame the government and big banks. Still, the fact remains that no one held a gun to our head and said, “Go ahead and buy today what you’ll never pay for anyway.”

What do you do? You only buy a home when you have the cash to in fact pay your payment every month and still have some income to survive life.

2. A need to own what the Jones’s own:

When we look across the street and see those things we think we need, it creates a monster in our minds that takes control of our lives. That monster is greedy and needy. It wants what it can’t have, and it will hide behind lies to make you believe that you too can own what the Jones’s own. Take my advise and close your eyes when you look beyond your own front yard, and be content with what you already own. Besides, the Jones’s probably don’t own anything, but like everyone else, they are overspending.

3. Looking through a superior view:

It seems we Americans have become a bit too high and mighty. Just because we live within the land of the free, doesn’t mean we are entitled to receive our every wish for free. There’s no such thing as a credit card genie, so let’s get real and see that we are only worth the income we keep.

4. An inability to comprehend what wealth means:

Wealth is not defined by your income, but how much of that income you save and keep. You might get paid a high price salary, but be starving to death because every dime goes to that home you’ll never own. Be wise, and budget your income through a realistic view of what you need to own and what you need to keep. Don’t be greedy, and you ‘ll find that in time, you’ll be wealthy.

5. An, “all about me,” issue:

Did you know that what you give always comes back to you? It’s also true that the more gratitude you find, the more you’ll find to be grateful for. It’s a law of attraction thing, so when you believe that heaven, earth and the universe revolves around you, you’ll only attract more self serving issues which tend to send you into the false belief that there’s never enough of anything. There, you’ll spin around alone in a Twilight Zone of your own.

On the other hand, if you’ll simply give something back, the universe will attract that back to you, plus ten times more than you ever had before. It’s true, so start looking through an unselfish attitude of gratitude, and see your cash facts change in drastic ways.
