I'm going to disagree with this comment because of the social mindset that is seen today.
The picture below give is called "Heavy Sweet Bread". This recipe is made out of hardship, misery, and grief. It was made out of things so you can survive on days with this.
It is called HeavySweetBread because you had little to no chance of getting yeast. You make it out of what you have. It was easy to get sugar and if you are lucky you got spices like Cinnamon or nutmeg Salt was used for other things as a preservative for any raw meat you got your hands on.
The mostly unleavened bread is awfully hard and you need sharp knife to cut into it. But it will last well and gives you a sweetness that you can get in the miserable situation that you live in. It actually tastes good when you are able to soften it up.
I made a lot of HeavySweetBread to this day. It preserves well and it goes a long way. You can freeze it and use it later as a great soup/stew mix and sliced thin enough you can use it with some jam or put ice cream on top of it on a hot Summer day. The Bread is cheap. The bread is used as an extender of food. The bread makes things tolerable when you don't have enough to eat and everyone else does.
Why am I bringing this up? Because I never forgot those terrible bad times that made me less of a human and more of a animal to other people's eyes.
I survived 5 economic down turns and a nasty divorce and I'm ready to survive this because of the planning that I have done in the past to established a financial foundation of wealth for the future.
And I started out with less than nothing. I started out to my pathway success as being homeless.
Does this mean that I ignore the past. Does it mean I stopped listening and looking what how our economy is changing?
That is the difference between people that get ahead and people who don't. They remember the past so they won't make the mistake in the future.
It does not matter if you are rich or not. You have to think to get ahead. You have to remember those bad and awful times so they don't happen again. That is also part of planning.
People have become too complacent. I see this all of the time.
Those choices are yours and your alone. If you just give up you will never get out of the hell hole you are in.
I don't expect everyone to be incredibly wealthy. That is not the case here. What I do expect is to see people get out the hell that is being welfare poor and stand on their own two feet and just get by.
And I firmly believe that it DOES take a certain amount of planning to get your ass out from being poor as well as BELIEVING in yourself as well.
But don't make the mistake that I just saw with one of my leaseholders just did. He bought another car.. His Second car in 3 years and there was nothing wrong with the first car. Sure it's his money.
But don't expect any leniency from me when the lease comes due. If you can buy a nice new shiney then you can pay your monthly lease to me on time. As matter of fact... when the time comes and the lease needs to be renewed...
Do you think I'm not going to raise the rate up? All I see is a person thinking of now and not of the future. This was not an old car for a newer car, this was a newer car for a newer car. So I might as well get as much money AS WHAT THE MARKET WILL BARE NOW....
Right??
That is what I see. I know my markets in several states. I know those who tries and those who does not in my field of expertise. As I have stated before I see a lot of new and newer Shinies going to Walmart after all...
I'll leave it right here. I think people know where I am coming from.
You must save your money to make money.
You must plan ahead, both short and long term goals.
And You must believe in yourself to get ahead financially.
