“Don’t fall for the illusion of wealth… Nice things represent the money we HAD, not the money we HAVE.” - Johnnie Williams III
Why is it so difficult to keep life simple? Maybe it’s because they (the industry) made the “look of wealth and success” available to consumers to purchase or finance. But this illusion we often craft and buy into, only make the wealthy-wealthier.
It’s like chasing the wind; you’ll never catch up to it! Nor will you become rich by spending to look like you already are.
Wants and needs must be deciphered between because we’ve been CONditioned to want more and want it now. Maybe it was the television that is re-shaped our vision and perspective with programming that is grooming the American mind like a dull weapon that takes time to cut to the chase. One show at a time and one commercial at a time (too).
We didn’t want a new washer and dryer until we saw them on the tell lies to our vision – Think About It…
Do we really need it, or do we just really - really want it? And, for how long do we really want it (or them) once we’ve gotten it, or been with them? Our needs don’t change as fast as our once shift from one thing to the next. Maybe that’s why we always want to make more money, and maybe we just need to save more of what we already have.
