Page 7 - THE SCAM OF RICHES
P. 7
It shows why lottery winners are never able to become independently wealthy. They
immediately begin to spend and spend and splash money all over the town.
They make so much noise about the money they won that all their friends and family
from way back when come crawling out of the woodworks to beg for their own share.
And so they begin to feel like rich kings and generously dole out huge sums to all that
ask…after all, I’m a millionaire, or so they think.
They spend on expensive food, luxury travel packages to exotic lands abroad, wild
parties, designer clothing, state of the art automobiles, partners and toys. And they spend
without mercy. They spend until the money finishes and they go into debt because they
have developed a very large appetite and high taste.
And the reason why they spend so much is because they believe that the sign of wealth is
a show of luxury and conspicuous consumption.
That is what the poor believe.
Indiscriminate spending is not a sign of wealth; it is evidence of low self-esteem, poor
judgment and lack of vision for the future.
Do not allow yourself to be scammed out of your wealth by inability to delay gratification.
So what other beliefs keep a man in poverty?
