Spending and Wealth

 

When spending is viewed as an ongoing opportunity to save, it can turn necessary expenditures into thrift adventures. The mobile nature of urban society and frequency of relationship transitions can lead to great opportunities for those with a discerning eye and love of a hunt.

A substantial number of financially well off individuals routinely shop classified adds, frequent swap meets, garage sales and yes even thrift shops. What many folks don't know about the latter venue, is some  merchandize is purchased by the pound after estate sales, with no regard to value, and thus lead to amazing pricing for an astute shopper.

Scarcity Myth

The myth of scarcity runs deep in human psych, yet we are surrounded by evidence to the contrary. For in truth abundance is a natural condition. For all things, material and mental, have a bent toward multiplication ... from seed to garden and sapling to forest, proliferation rules. So too does positive thought lead to positive outcomes and negative thought their counterpart.

It has been said to be “broke” is a state of mind, whereas being out of money merely a temporary situation. It is an aberration to believe we where meant to live in a continuing state of want and worry. Scarcity is but a myth ... cast aside when recognized as falsehood.

Pocket Change

The idea that significant wealth can be derived from small change might sound fanciful. Yet a handful of coins can yield immense rewards. Set aside four quarters daily starting at age twenty-five, compound it at eight percent, and it will increase to more than one hundred thousand dollars by age sixty-five. The time is considerable, but then so is the result. It’s rather amazing when you think about it.

The next time you see a penny on the ground stop to pick it up and consider this; if a Single Penny were to earn six percent interest from the time of Columbus; it would compound into more than a Hundred Billion Dollars, stated numerically in excess of $100,000,000,000.
