I currently am broke right now.. but thats a condition i can create myself out of soon enough ..i had extremely bad depression with absolute no trace of self worth ..and i had to get that under control before i added money into the mix. as i probably would have turned to substances .. i kept myself broke to not have that option ..

In bringing myself out of the pits of lifelong depression in the last 8-9 months .. i have had to purge my thinking of so much of the imposed worthlessness trained into most people or the 99 percent ..

Deep down i knew if i was going to make it i was going to have to create something of value ..and from my path ..the answers have come.. but i have still had to fight personal blocks and self image issues that i am working on now ..

today and into the future the 1 percent ..the most successful will be those who constantly creat stuff that people want to buy .and build a pool of people who like buying the stuff they create ..and also do not restrict the value of what they create..

the tools of creation are getting cheaper all the time .. the ability to build an audience ( something you imers understand) and the means to get the items from producer to consumer ..are constantly getting cheaper and more available . and many cases people doing the same thing you do .. might be better to cooperate with than compete with ..

and the biggest thing to check where you are .. is if you get upset when you hear some rich person spending 100k on ice sculptures .. or whatever odd thing people with money spend it on.. and if you get disgusted and out raged .. work on that..

What would your life be like if someone payed you a huge amount of money for something you created ..

on the flipside what would your life be like if you where constanlty creating stuff with out a care of what it would make $ wise.. but people regularly pay big money for your stuff any how .. now that's success ..

99 percent only do stuff they get paid for.. rarely do they create anything of high value on their own , and they want every hour to be the same value ..

the 1 percent may work for others .. but they do so in a manner that allows them to be as creatively productive as possible ..

find where you can be the one percent ..

    I'd like to be wealthy, but I would also like to not see others struggling with poverty.

      You can do this. But in order to help those who struggle to survive financially you need to be financially stable first. Then you can teach them or even help them up to start their own success.

      If you burden yourself about their struggle right now, you are not helping them and yourself. I do not believe that you have to let somebody down in order for you to rise.

      when everyone sitting at a buffet .. you can't let it bother you if everyone else if starving because they refuse to see the food ..or listen to stupid rules that tell them they shouldn't eat ..

      i am broke .. i am not poor .. i have always had cloths to wear a bed to sleep in a car to drive ..and i have no idea what it is like to be hungry and not know where my next meal is coming from ..

      i refuse to support anyone poverty..wheen i make it and if i chose to give it will be to those who have a temorary problem that was beyond their finances to handle ..or i will help those working to make their lives better .. everyone else.. who is unwilling to take and control of their lives ..oh well..

      I have made all the complaints used all the excused ..blamed everything i could blame ..but at this point It is up to me to put it all together and create a better life than the one i have ..

      But i apprieciate the life i have had no matter how much toture i felt it was living it as i went through it .. for it is the seeds planted in the most difficult and terrible times in my life.. that are now blossoming to give me the fruit to live a much more enjoyable life ..

      Even the back trould i have now ..that isn't bad enough for dissability.. but is bad enough to prevent me from getting work that i use to do.. is there to push me onto a more creative path and find what i must do ..

      I just came on too a new concept with money in the last few days that i am still wrapping my head around ..it is all about getting out of the trickle part of trickle down economic.. and getting in the flow of money ..or of value ..

    AMEN, MISTER!

    I have done much the same as you., I felt so horrible that I intentionally stayed broke and still receiving Diisability allowance. But, I am going to work out ofthat and have now gained a FULL TIME Career at Home!

    I Gained That Career Yesterday! This is Second day of Full time.

    NO MORE BSing around for me! I have dedicated myself to this new career.

    I have a sense of better worth than I did a year ago, so it is now time to make money and I don't have the desire for substances any more.
