The rich get richer, and the poor gets poorer. Look at Wells Fargo's stock since 1972:
Buy assets and avoid buying liabilities.
Every time a new iPhone comes out, y'all buy it
and now the new wave is to pay for it through a payment plan smh. All you're doing is creating a new bill for yourself to acquire something you don't need, just something you want.

Successful people read! You must be a reader. How do you know the right decisions if you do not have the right knowledge? Reading provides the knowledge you need to maneuver effectively in society.
You have to focus on your needs and sacrifice some of your wants temporarily so you can have everything you want later. Sacrifice ideas:
1) Bring your lunch to work somedays instead of buying.
2) Avoid the malls, stores, and online stores.
3) Avoid going out every weekend.

Stay humble:
Never be intimidated by someone else's success. Congratulate them, and learn from what they did to help build on your growth! This will add something new to your mental portfolio of skills and ideas.

IT'S FRIDAY!!!!!!!!
For some of us, it's payday!
Make sure you pay your bills and other needs before you spend on your wants.
After you pay for your bills/needs, budget for the things you want. Consider putting 5-10% of your pay in a savings account and don't touch it.

Today's reading: Food is one of the best investments. We NEED it and we want it. It will always be a primary purchase of all people. Can't lose! People will pay to survive no matter the costs. Inexpensive food options like McDonald's will always win in a strong or weak economy.

This is beyond problematic The days when people worked for one company for 30 years and retire to sunny beaches are over. It’s crazy how most aren’t paying attention to what’s happening. Most people will literally work until they die. Poor or Wealthy.. #ShrinkingMiddleClass

Take aways: Race is easy to see but racial discrimination is not always the (primary) reason for why different financial results occur. Sometimes there are other types of discrimination or socioeconomic factors that may be the (primary) reason.

Today’s Wall Street Journal article: That’s an insane salary package. The wealthy get wealthier. Notice the bulk of it is stock which is why encourage you all to get involved and play the game they are playing.
Fortune magazine, February edition article:
Microsoft is my top stock play for 2020 for this exact reason; their focus on artificial intelligence. Also, their stock price is less than Apple, Amazon, and Google.
Today’s Wall Street Journal:
This is why I say, take people’s Instagram and other social media posts with a grain of salt. Those pictures don’t = their lifestyle. A lot of irresponsible cap. Y’all see the trips, the bags, clothes, and the shoes but you never see how they bought it. They don’t post that 
Some of this debt is also due to people that struggle to make ends meet and just try to find a way. This country needs to come up with new ways for people to make live-able wages. Minimum wage is not live-able. Minimum wage is modern day slavery.
Until the country changes wages to live-able, which could be never; we must make the change ourselves. If the government won’t be the answer for what we need, then we ourselves need to be, somehow and someway.

Money is a tool. If it’s just sitting in a savings account, then it’s not working for you; it’s just sitting. Put it in the stock market or another investment tool and put your money to work for you. Most of us are already poor so why not try. #GetRichOrStayPoorTryin
