5 Reasons Why I am broke



5 Reasons Why I am broke 

By. Abdul Lawani

Money is the source it seems for all reasons for actions in daily life, from where you will live, what car you'll drive, what you will wear and even who your friends are and who you will marry fortunately although there is always room for exception.

Here are a few reasons I believe I have lacked in the competitive world.


                                                                      
5.
  
Choosing freedom over financial success
I have done a lot of things in my life from Going to College, Passing Navy boot camp serving in the Military, overcoming illnesses, Owning real estate, starting a business and earning a  profit from that business to achieving a client list of over 100+ companies and consumers. 

Yet I have time and time again I choose freedom over captial, and one thing about freedom it has a cost it’s not actually Free.

Consequences
From quitting jobs, canceling agreements, closing a business it typically doesn’t put money into your pocket. It’s nothing wrong with taking a sabbatical, yet a sabbatical with no money is the equivalent of taking a vacation with nowhere to lodge. 

Would you take a plane somewhere with no hotel or place to stay? 

Somebody out there would I know, but most people wouldn’t it’s not practical.

5. Wages Are Stagnant


Why: Wages and Wealth are like Butter to bread when wages are stagnant or slow to rise, so is wealth thus less people spending, and less people saving thus a slagging economy. 

4.  Banks Lending alot less

Why: Credit And Debt is part of the economy banks lend money, businesses and consumers receive capital, thus stimulating the economy. If there is less lending, businesses  that rely on capital for lending fold employees are laid off, consumers are not able to progress as well without capital from lenders.

Millennials and boomers are key to residential market in 2016

As one generation looks at retirement and the other sees the kids-and-family phase of adulthood coming, both are being watched closely by Chicago real estate agents.
Baby boomers heading into their sixties and millennials in their late twenties and early thirties are the "bookend generations, who together can make a big difference in how Chicago's housing recovery goes this year," said Jonathan Smoke, the chief economist for RealtorDOTcom, after speaking at a recent Chicago Association of Realtors market outlook event.
Because they're the nation's two largest adult population groups, their moves affect the real estate market in almost every U.S. city. Yet Smoke said each will play a particularly large role in Chicago.
Millennials are the demand side: Last year, people between the ages of 25 and 34 years old took out 41 percent of residential mortgages in the Chicago area through the end of October, compared to 35 percent nationally, Smoke found. Millennials are increasingly turning to buying homes as their incomes rise, their families grow, and the cost of renting rises, he said.
Baby boomers who are in their sixties, or getting there, are the supply side: When they opt to sell their longtime homes, they help loosen the market's problem with super-tight inventory. In the city of Chicago, fewer homes were on the market at the dawn of 2016 than at any time in the past nine years.
Getting baby boomers to let go of their homes "is definitely going to be important, but it's not always easy," said JoEllen Davis, an @properties agent. "They're trying to establish what the next chapter in their life will be and where it will be," while at the same time wrestling with "what to do with their 40 years of stuff."

Seven Secrets of Self-Made Multimillionaires



Contributor
International Sales Expert
In a special webcast on April 28, 2015, 5 p.m. EST, Grant Cardone will 


First, understand that you no longer want to be just a millionaire. You want to become a multimillionaire.

While you may think a million dollars will give you financial security, it will not. Given the volatility in economies, governments and financial markets around the world, it's no longer safe to assume a million dollars will provide you and your family with true security. In fact, a Fidelity Investments' study of millionaires last year found that 42 percent of them don't feel wealthy and they would need $7.5 million of invest able assets to start feeling rich.
This isn't a how-to on the accumulation of wealth from a lifetime of saving and pinching pennies. This is about generating multimillion-dollar wealth and enjoying it during the creation process. To get started, consider these seven secrets of multimillionaires.

No. 1: Decide to Be a Multimillionaire -- You first have to decide you want to be a self-made millionaire. I went from nothing—no money, just ideas and a lot of hard work—to create a net worth that probably cannot be destroyed in my lifetime. The first step was making a decision and setting a target. Every day for years, I wrote down this statement: "I am worth over $100,000,000!"

No. 2: Get Rid of Poverty Thinking -- There's no shortage of money on planet Earth, only a shortage of people who think correctly about it. To become a millionaire from scratch, you must end the poverty thinking. I know because I had to. I was raised by a single mother who did everything possible to put three boys through school and make ends meets. Many of the lessons she taught me encouraged a sense of scarcity and fear: "Eat all your food; there are people starving," "Don't waste anything," "Money doesn't grow on trees." Real wealth and abundance aren't created from such thinking.

No. 3: Treat it Like a Duty -- Self-made multimillionaires are motivated not just by money, but by a need for the marketplace to validate their contributions. While I have always wanted wealth, I was driven more by my need to contribute consistent with my potential. Multimillionaires don't lower their targets when things get tough. Rather, they raise expectations for themselves because they see the difference they can make with their families, company, community and charities.
