Are You a Gratification Groupie Or A Genius?
There is only one thing that separates you from the people who have the money you wish you had. It is not talent, skill, the things you own or the connections you have. It is the MINDSET. What do I mean about mindset? The way you use money immediately tells me if you are a Gratification Groupie or a Genius. Here is how I define those terms. Gratification Groupie – Overspending is a habit and money runs through your hands as fast as it arrives buying ‘stuff’ that you want but do not actually need. You think it is important to impress others with the material things you own. You follow the crowd and do what they do – shop, shop, shop, spend, spend, spend. You may give the appearance of having money, but you are drowning in debt that you cannot pay off. You look for ways to spend money, and spend time thinking about things you want to buy instead of taking action to get out of debt and invest in your long-term financial survival. You are constantly worried about money. Genius – Paying yourself first by investing a portion of every dime that comes in the door for your long-term financial security. You spend the rest in ways that can help you produce more income for your financial survival. You set money aside over time to buy the things you need, and you pay cash. Credit cards are seldom used, and are paid off as soon as the statement arrives. You do not use your money to buy things to impress others or win popularity. You are never worried about money. What separates millionaires from normal people? Not much. The only real difference is what they do with money when it comes in. You see, it is not how much money you make, it is what you do with it that determines your financial condition. There is a simple science to managing your finances the right way. Very rich people know this science. If you really want to convert from being a Gratification Groupie to a wealthy Genius and get on the road to winning your financial freedom, here is the formula the Genius uses to manage the money when they receive it: 1 – Put a minimum of 10% into a retirement savings plan for long-term financial survival. Increase this percentage over time. 2 – Pay cash for everything, starting today. Stop buying on credit. 3 – Use a minimum of 15% of your income to pay off debt and past due bills. 4 – Pay your current bills for necessary operating expenses like rent, utilities, and telephone. 5 – Make your spending decisions based on NEED rather than WANT. Buy the things you need that contribute to your ability to produce more income. Buy used instead of new. Most items lose 25 % to 80% of their value the instant you pay for them. Just in case you missed the importance of this one fact, I am going to repeat it. It is not how much money you make, it is what you do with it that determines your financial condition.
