If you want to remain poor forever and avoid being rich, below are the 12 things you MUST do:
Never wake up early. Stay in bed as long as possible, stretching and turning until hunger forces you to get up. If there are no bed bugs, why hurry? Sleep all night and day without working.
Never plan on investments. Spend money as soon as you get it. When it’s gone, try to recall how it disappeared. Live beyond your means as you try to appear rich.
Don’t save until you have a huge amount of money. How can you save when you earn so little? Those who advise saving don’t understand your very important expenses. Avoid money market fund, fixed deposit account, savings accounts and Saccos—they will not allow you to spend your money.
Avoid activities deemed “uneducated” or “low class” like selling or small businesses. As a graduate, professional, or someone from a well-known family, engaging in such affairs is a huge insult to your standards and status. With a masters degree, why should you lower your class to do work which are reserved for school dropouts?
Wait for an angel to deliver a bag full of money for your capital. It’s impossible to start any business without millions. Sure, some businesses began with little capital, but you know success is 100% guaranteed if you start big.
Complain about everything except your own attitude and mindset. Blame your poverty on your parents, the system, the government, and the banks that refused to lend you money. They are all bad and do not want you to get rich.
Always spend more than you earn. Buy products on credit and keep borrowing from friends and employers to maintain your lifestyle. Buy latest smartphones, expensive watches and cars on loan.
Make sure you look rich so others will be intimidated by your presence. Win your secret showing-off competition. Whenever your neighbor buys a new phone, make sure you get a more expensive one.
Purchase a car that costs more than three times your annual salary. It’s an essential status symbol. Don’t worry if you don’t have a house or a place to park it. In fact, don’t prioritize buying your own house because you can’t use it to impress people like you can with a car.
Give your children everything they ask for to show your love and prove you’re the best parent. They shouldn’t struggle for anything. It doesn’t matter if they grow up lazy and entitled. What’s important is that you give them the best so they don’t suffer, unlike those cruel parents who, despite their means, choose to let their children struggle.
Devote your time, energy, and resources to watching your favorite sports or playing computer games. It doesn’t matter if you’re not productive. What’s important is that you enjoy life to the fullest. A time spent on enjoyment is never wasted.
Indulge in your favorite vices. Whether it’s smoking, drinking, or gambling, make these your top priorities. Enjoy drinking with friends and embrace the image of being a smoker or gambler. Fully commit to these habits, regardless of their impact on your well-being or finances.
