How to Get Rich ????

Everyone may not want to be rich, but it would be nice to pay all the bills, and still have enough cash to eat a hamburger when your done.

All my life I heard many old timers, some very wealthy, say ::: Son if you don't have the cash, DON'T BUY IT. Even though it was true, being young and struggling with kids on each hip and eating bologna and beans, I didn't like that saying.
I wanted everything NOW.

I heard of a story of two bums sitting on the corner, and then both of them saw a rich guy drive by in a BMW with rolex watch on. One bum says to the other. WOW, that guys real lucky!
The other Bums says, amazing how lucky you get when you get up and work everyday.

Here are Some saying I heard growing up from weather men. Even though most did not finish school, they owned 1000s of acres and companies.

To get rich son all you have to do is keep making smart decisions.
Or keep making dumb decisions and you keep getting dumb results.

Buying a lotto tickets is dumb, thus gets you dumb results.

When you hit a good lick in life ( large or medium cash influx that comes in) .
Smart is -- buy land, pay off loans, start business.
Dumb is -- Have the vacation to impress your friends you always wanted them to see.
Dumb is -- blow most of it, then put the rest of what's left down on a over priced car on 7yr note.

His bottom line saying was.
Keep doing smart things regular, and watch good things happen.
Keep doing dumb things regular and watch bad things happen, plus then you can say. WOW, why is this happening to me. Please pray for me, I'm in a life time financial emergency.

I was broke from the time I was 20yrs to 41 yrs. At 41, I started doing smart things. Wow, amazing how lucky I got.
The more I worked the luckier I got.
I finely learned math at 41, spend less than you make, and WOW, you have cash left.

Why are we so hard to train. I guess God has plenty of time to watch us do this to our selves.
