A lot of us are taught bad habits about money from a young age.

And a lot of us come from situations where we feel like getting rich is almost impossible.

Here& #39;s how I developed a wealthy mindset, in a broken environment.

For most of my life, I thought the only way to get rich was to rap, play sports, or sell drugs.

Selling drugs seemed most realistic, because I was seeing it done daily.

So that& #39;s what I wanted to be.

But as I got older, I realized these guys had money, but they were trapped.
Slaves to the hustle, and slaves to the money.

If they left the game, they would probably have a hard time getting a job.

They only knew one way to make money, because they were never taught any better.

I knew this couldn& #39;t be the only way. There had to be another way out.
I started reading and educating myself.

I asked myself, "how are other people getting rich?"

Since forever, I thought the stock market was only available to millionaires.

But no, me and my brothers had been mislead and lied to.

We could build wealth and make it out too.
Now, instead of spending my time getting nowhere fast, dreaming about making it out...

I& #39;m actually taking the steps to build my future.

Working on my side hustles, living beneath my means, investing in myself.
You are only a product of your environment if you choose to be.

You don& #39;t have to be what you are told you have to be.

And you can do whatever you put your mind to, regardless of where you come from. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌🏾" title="Erhobene Hände (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Erhobene Hände (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">
