Knowledge & still struggling

Kia Ora,

It is great having all this knowledge, but when you are still struggling, it is hard to convince others.

It means something is missing or you are not facing up to a fear.

It is even harder to convince the majority when they can't see the wood for the trees.

Or as that Quote Robert Kiyosaki uses, "Don't teach pigs to sing, as it wastes your time & annoys the pig". Or try to help but when it is obvious that they can't change, part friends & agree to disagree.

Right now though it is important for as many people as possible to get their financial IQ up to speed.

Now with it getting harder or even near impossible to use good debt to increase your wealth, there needs to be greater use of  the greatest financial tool available. Your Brain.

If you have kids then ask them what is a great business idea as they will see the future. In particular using the internet to bring in a passive income. Harder for us older folks as we are still caught up in industrial age thinking.

It changed to the information age in 1989, but we are still catching up. It is no longer about going to school, getting good grades to get a good job, it is about working smarter not harder.

That means lowering your bad debt, where possible using good debt (ie a credit card can be both depending on what you use it for. For a new stereo is bad debt, for financial education is good debt).

Most of all it is the hard part of changing your mindset & it is hard.

Another big part of the equation is having that partner who shares the same goals & dreams or purpose. It definitely makes things easier. Me, I am still looking but looking at the examples through out history, it is no accident that their is a saying "Behind every good man there is a good woman". Of course it works the other way too.
