Recently, I discovered that 90% of the wealth in this world is controlled by 10% of the people while 90% of the people compete to share the remnant - 10% - as they live in a rat-race struggle to make ends meet. May be, you have asked yourself, Am I rich or poor? Here is the answer.
Obviously, there are many people who still believe that they are not poor - yeah, they have personal cars, a cottage, 2 or 3 kids, nice beautiful gadgets at home, and so on. See, getting what the rich get does not put anyone into the class of the rich. In fact, you know how long it took you to get your first car - may be, you saved up the money over a period of 12 months! That’s not bad, anyway.
Now, I would like to share my views on how to rightly place yourself into the most appropriate class so that peradventure if you fall 'low' otherwise, you will be challenged to improve on a number of things so as to progressively increase your financial worth.
I tell you there is no comfort in lack. I have experienced poverty - it's quite terrible! It sets limits on how much you can do, and how far you can go!
Am I rich or poor? Here, we go on to discover that:
Symptoms of Poverty
1. Needs are greater than income
2. Hardships/difficulties in meeting basic necessities of life - clothing, food, and shelter. The degree of hardship varies from person to person, depending on the level of income with respect to the needs of the person.
3. Hardship in paying bills, fees, dues, etc. That often necessitates installment payment in some cases.
4. Debt-prone livelihood. Frequent borrowing of funds to meet one's need.
5. Inordinate favor-seeking from family and friends to give you money or material so as to meet your needs.
6. Misappropriation of money, e.g.
- satisfying your wants at the expense of your needs
- unprofitable spending on habits, addictions and hobbies such as smoking, alcoholism, entertainment, whore mongering, etc.
7. Lack of saving culture
8. Pressing needs that engender the spending of your tithes. That's risky.
9. The 'manage' principle, e.g.
- skipping meals to conserve your food stuff when normally you should be eating three square meals.
10. Hard 'tasky' physical and mental labor that do not commensurate with income, e.g.
- Laborers (workers) on a factory floor are working to enrich someone else while they themselves earn small pay. Sorry if you are one! Don't mean to hurt you - just a fact.
11. Lack of positive mental attitude for success.
The foregoing encapsulates either an average or living below average, depending on individuals' economic and financial status. All people do not have the same symptoms in their lives.
Am I rich or poor? Here are another features to determine that:
Symptoms of Prosperity
1. You have more than enough (plenty of financial capacity)
2. You eat and are full: necessities of life are full taken care of in as satisfying way.
3. You also have a measure to spare for others. That's being a blessing to others.
4. You can conveniently lend to others without expecting any repayment, if need be.
5. You have no waste of your resources because of financial intelligence, financial planning and financial management.
6. Your financial base is never depleted to the low or zero level at any time. That's superabundance of wealth. (Freedom from I’m broke syndrome)
7. You have financial comfort. That’s absolute freedom from anxieties and worries that are usually associated with lack.
8. You have financial independence: you don't need support from any party for your sustenance.
9. You have financial defense (security) from lack and bankruptcy.
10.You have consistent inflow of financial cash or portfolio into your financial base (e.g. a bank account). There is/are solid income-generating engines(s)
11. You have good health to enjoy prosperity. Health is a basic factor to wealth.
12. You give a consistent offering of the King's share, i.e. 10% of your net income is paid as tithe.
13. You perform civic duties promptly, e.g. payment of taxes.
14. You have control over money as your servant.
15. You have positive mental attitude for success.
16. You have godly character to sustain your soul so that you might not conscious or unconsciously forget God who gives you power to get wealth.
