Broke Genius: 10 Things I Learned From Being Broke

Growing up in The United States was a good thing, I knew early on mainly because I watched alot of TV that I wasn't rich and that others were poorer than me. I lived a block away from a project building on the South East Side of Chicago. And through family friends I knew people that lived there and visited quite a few times and other project buildings in Chicago.

Here is 10 most things I learned from being broke

10. Most people are broke pretending there hardest not too appear broke

Stats are not 100% but they don't lie, 35% of The U.S Population makes between $16k-$30k 15% Makes $15k-$0 (Relying on Gov subsidy for cost of living) so that's over 50 million people struggling to make ends meet in laymen terms.

9. If your parents were broke chances are you will be too
Alot of what we know and learn good or bad is from our parents, they shape and mold us too be like them without us knowing it. In today's economy a lot of people are doing worst than there parents did fiscally.

8. Sacrificing your health and life for capital is not a good trade off.

If you asked someone would you have rather been poorer than you were rather than bury your mother or father at age 40 due to working 2 jobs and poor health and bad diet. Or see your mother or father through a sheet of glass on prison visits, I would imagine people would say hell yeah.

7. Being Fiscally broke Is Not A permanent situation

The fix is a good strategy, smart work, and a action plan and its not an issue any more for you. One bad turn, a few bad months a bad business venture a failed marriage or relationship can lift you right off your feet. But the opposite can be all the the better to change things for the good.

6. Some people are fiscally broke beyond repair and its not much you can do about it.

Everybody knows Jim the Wino or Rob the Heroin addict, that is in and out of jail or the half way house, that has been using drugs since before you reached puberty. Unless a miracle happens they will be that way till they see there maker. Its sad but sometimes there are external factors that the physical and mental body is more important to deal with than money. And money is not going to make or break anyone to a better person usually it will amplify the bad in them.

5. The Current system is Designed For You To Be Fiscally Broke And To Stay Broke

College, Jobs, Credit Cards ,Student Loans, Debt keeping up with the Joneses: All these things will keep you on the hamster wheel of debt and destruction and keep you broke until you wake up.

4. You Don't need Money too Survive

That's obvious but yeah before money people were surviving.
If you not bout that life I suggest saving your Food and then saving your money.

3. Being Broke Can actually Help You In the Long Run

If you been broke before you probably won't commit suicide if you go broke again.

But imagine someone that has never been broke at all from birth, that's almost tragic.

When the money is flowing party on, When You broke party over.

Good way to get rid of people that were only around for the endless party.

2. It's really Not that Bad being Broke

Nobody knows you

Nobody will take from you because you don't have much too take

You know A woman really likes you because all you had too offer was what god gave you

Broke is already rock bottom so its nothing but up you already down

Nobody will call you and bug you because your phone is always off

You can have as many women you want because nobody knows or care about no broke dude (No TMZ worries )

You will have the comeback story of all time if you land riches

Nobody will try to scam you because yep you have nothing that they can scam you for.
