My Ten Sense: It doesn’t matter how much you make, it matters …….
Times are tough right now for those of us who are not in the exclusive 1% of Americans who control most of the country’s wealth.
So many of us think,”if only I could win the lottery”. “If only I can get a raise on my job”.
But actually the more money you make, the more money you will spend. If you don’t believe me. Look at all of the professional athletes, entertainers and lottery winners who have filed for bankruptcy, such as former NFL player and TV analyst Warren Sapp and $315 million lottery winner Jack Whitacker.
They each won a big jackpot and squandered it and you are likely to do the same unless you develop a simple new mindset.
Watch my video and read my blog to find out the mindset that the 1 percenters have that you should develop so you don't have to worry about being broke again at http://mytensense.com/2012/04/it-doesnt-matter-how-much-you-make-it-matters/.
