PENNY WISE AND POUND FOOLISH IS REAL

There are people who are good stewards of what they come into contact with. I have worked with many of the best. They appear to be cheap, but in real life they are being frugal. It is easy to spend money and not account for it. It is like wasting food in a sense. Anyone can do it, but why would you want to?

HOW MUCH $$$  ?

There is a time to spend money and a time to consider the opposite dynamic. I have seen products that under close examination are not worth what is being asked. Just take a moment and you will see it too. While there is worth, the more conservative will pass or wait until it goes on sale.

PAUSE ON EXPENSIVE ITEMS

On large ticket items, research, education and counseling as well as huge doses of PAUSE is highly recommended. Can you believe that some people in today's Real Estate world still have no Real Estate agent representation? That is just plain foolish for a transaction of this size

WASTING THE FAMOUS 3 WISHES

This thinking promotes a healthy character and mind set. Its like having three wishes. No one would want to squander that privilege. People who work hard for their money do not want to just spend it. They want something in return for it. Value, pleasure and function speaks to the consumer especially now a days

ANYONE CAN HAVE MONEY AND MONEY CAN HAVE YOU

I have seen people in bondage to money too. It is the saddest thing to behold. To give money a stature that is more important than the one handling it promotes a confusing set of ideals or thinking. Whatever we call wealth is tangible and material and has no real value except one true thing

THE MONEY HANDLER IS THE VALUE

The real value are the people who handle it wisely and... not let it handle them while they do

Richie, it's all about people's attitude towards money. Many people seem to have forgotten that it's a means to an end, not the end itself.

"I listen for a living." It's all about you.

Money is the vehicle we drive along the days of our lives.  With more we can go further faster, but with less we can also succeed, it is true about the planning. Wealth is not measured in terms of dollars and cents, but it terms of opportunity and growth.  You can gain opportunity and growth to get more money.  Be wise, you suggest is such good advice. Thanks Richiie

Richie,

Whenever I go to a FREE real estate seminar, I leave my wallet in the car. The speakers always reduce the price of whatever they're hawking and it looks so enticing.

There are many real estate agents that perform the income producing activities very well...but don't do so well on the expense monitoring. This can, and has, lead to terrible consequences.

Richie to Rich...I have seen this dynamic you describe. It is hard to say know when it is pitched..but observe it instead of immersing your self in it...and it reveals itself. Sometimes, there is value, but not everything that glitters is gold
