Lately, someone told me that they read somewhere that the difference between poor people and rich people can be spotted thanks to two questions. You are considering a purchase?
Poor people ask themselves: "Can I afford this?".
Rich people ask themselves: "How can I afford this?".
It may be true, to some extent.
Still, a way more important question is missing, in my opinion.
[Besides basic items needed for survival,
the question should not be "How can I afford something?",
but "What do I want to afford in the first place?"]
As long as we are not talking about something pivotal for surviving (food, water, shelter, and so on), the very first question should be "Is this worth my money, my time, my work?".
More on this on the next posts.
Stay tuned!
