The
Financial Matrix – Daily Dose 43
Are you trapped in the Financial Matrix?
The Financial Matrix is how the
Aristocracy controls the masses by controlling capital.
The
financial illiterate slave is in bondage to the financial savvy aristocrat.
Would
you like to be in control of your future or have someone else do it for you?
You are in the Financial Matrix if you …
1. Think you
are getting a great deal on a new car with zero percent interest financing.
Hooked by no interest and killed by depreciation is the truth.
2. Think the
best way to build credit is with credit cards.
People with several credit
cards overspend as compared with people using debit cards and cash.
3. Think debt
consolidation is a great strategy to get out of debt.
A debt pay down/roll down plan
is a better strategy to pay off debts as compared to a consolidated debt plan.
4. Think estate
planning is only for the really wealthy.
Care and protect the little
you have so you can be entrusted with more in the future.
5. Think your
standard of living will go up at retirement because of lower expenses.
Some bills will be reduced
or eliminated; many new bills will magically appear as we age. Imagine what is
like maintaining a lifestyle on half to one third of the income prior to
retirement. 65% of American over age 65 are broke and have to go back to work to
survive. Retirees aren’t going back to work because they love McDonald’s or
Walmart; they need the money for basic survival.
6. Think you
can’t pay cash for cars and homes.
It is so rare these days to
pay for big purchases with cash that most car dealerships, real estate agents
and banks will question the sanity of those who use cash.
7. Think filing
for bankruptcy is ok since I am young and can start over again.
Be sure to talk to at least
three people who have filed for bankruptcy at an early age and got out of the
matrix. Good luck finding them!
Solution: Get financially fit and
prosper.
Get out of the Financial Matrix by investing
in your financial education!
Thank
you for reading and reflecting on today’s nuggets. Share them with others.
We make a living by what we get;
we make a life by what we give. Be a giver in a world of takers.
Be blessed and be a
blessing to others
