What’s Stopping Me from Being Rich?
May 6, 2008
This is a question I’ve asked myself, oh, about 7 million times. It’s also the topic of a pretty good article by Jeffrey Strain on today’s TheStreet.com.
After years of asking this question, I’m sure that it has something to do with the fact that I’m just not doing EVERYTHING I need to be doing to change my habits.
So, after reading the article, it seems that my reason is part of the answer. But it’s not the whole answer. It goes on to take out HOW to change your current lifestyle. The fact that it’ll take time and effort. And the changes that I do make can’t be temporary.
Give it a read for yourself and let us know what you think. You might find your answer to that age-old question: What’s Stopping Me from Being Rich?”
Talkin’ about your salary: The last taboo?
April 27, 2008
There’s an interesting article by Alex Williams on today’s NYTimes.com about how comfortable or uncomfortable different generations are when it comes to talking about their income to friends, family and co-workers.
According to the article, people under 35 seem to feel that it’s OK to tell others what they make. In fact, it’s pretty normal. But those over 35 would rather keep it private.
I know that when it comes to my income, I keep it pretty much to myself. But then, I’m over 35. By about 15 years.
So, how do you feel? Is it OK to tell friends, family and co-workers what you make? Or would you rather walk barefoot over broken glass? Let me know.
