Destroy Your Finances and Never Be Rich

Equity Mortgages, Small Business Loans, Increased Profit Margins! You don't need words like these to Destroy Your Finances and Never Be Rich!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Avoid setting any goals, especially any 3 to 6 months away. Goal setting is catastrophic for you or your business because it provides a definite direction. The direction to plan your future strategic decisions. But that's all lies! Goals destroy the fun and spontaneity in life, plus I only want the achievements of a 17 year old.

  2. Step 2

    Be impatient. In particular be impatient about stupid things. Get the express mail upgrade! Get take out instead cooking! Go to the shiny retail store instead of online! Skip foreplay!

  3. Step 3

    Be grateful each day for destiny and luck. You don't have to worry about being wealthy and having an enviable life. Your mediocre existence fits into a universal bigger plan. Somehow that 'plan' involves you NOT thinking up plans to improve your life, this is the "wait for them to dump riches in my lap" plan.

  4. Step 4

    Pay full price, because you work 40 hours a week, at a job you hate, just to throw your money away, right? Not to mention negotiating is for idiots and poor people, that why they use it in hostage situations.

Tips & Warnings
  • If someone says the phrase, 'Return on Investment', drop your things and run.

on 1/28/2009 I know somebody who's livin' the life you describe: Planning's a SIN! Spontaneity is IN! I'll send him your article; he probably will love it - because he'll think it's speaking to him!
