What do broke people and poor people have in common? Nothing really. A visitor to Affiliatester asked a few days ago and even though I felt that I answered the question online, I felt that I needed to explain myself further? Here is what I have observed over the last half-century about people that are broke and poor people. Broke people are generally without cash flow for a short period of time and often have income coming to them at a later date or in the future. A broke person being broke is usually temporary, even though, their being broke may occur with such frequency, that they are nonetheless labeled as such, a broke person. The attitude of a broke person is generally upbeat and optimistic about the future.
Contrast this observed opinion about broke people with that of poor people and you may come to this conclusion and explanation that poor people on the other hand generally exhibit an attitude of general malaise or a pessimistic outlook about their lives and their future. Poor people more often than not, don’t have any income coming to them, now or in the future. If, a person who does find themselves in this category does have income coming to them, it is usually not enough to support them or lift them from their thinking.
A poor person’s condition is often permanent, primarily due to their attitude and unwillingness to adapt to the changing environment around them. There are those of course who emulate to elevating their condition through sheer persistence, education, the proper tools and application of that education and tools. So, it is presumptious of me to think that a broke person or a poor person can not improve their lot in life. It would be like me denying how far I’ve come, to overcome both being poor and being broke and you can too, with the proper attitude, education and tools that will make your success a no-brainer.
