You see, a lot of people say they want to
help other people, but the truth is, they DON’T
really want to help. How the hell can you help
others if you don’t help yourself first?
It’s the old airplane/oxygen metaphor:
you must first put on your own oxygen mask
before helping others put theirs on. You have
to save yourself first before you save the
world. If you really want to help other people,
make your F.U.Money. Then you can help
whomever you want. The best way to help the
poor is not to become one of them.
When you’re constantly thinking about money, you are consumed
by it. You focus on surviving—just paying the bills. A starving person
can’t think of anything beyond the gnawing in his belly. It’s tough to be
generous when you’re broke. It’s tough to think about other people’s
needs when your utilities are about to be turned off.
Some people say to me, “Mr, you’re so addicted...so obsessed
with making money. All you care about is money.”
Yes and no.
I DO think money is extremely important. But what I care about isn’t
money—what I really care about is freedom.
MONEYISM#5:-
Money is like sex.
You’ll think of
nothing else if you
don’t have it–yet
you’re free to think
of other things if you do have it.
Money gives you freedom to make choices. I am very clear about
what I want and what I don’t want in life. And what I want is the freedom to buy whatever I want, eat whatever I want, and go wherever I want.
And freedom costs money.
With F.U.Money, I am talking about living life to the fullest—about
having it all. If you don’t know your F.U.Money amount, you’re flying
through life blindly. You’re working day in and day out, thinking,
“Wouldn’t it be nice if I had a different life?”, yet never bothering to put a plan together to actually achieve the life that you want. And before you know it, life is over.
