Broke Folks With Rich Attitudes

There are too many broke people with rich attitudes; humble yourselves.

The concept of this tweet is for broke folks to stop trying to live above their means. There's nothing worse than a broke person adopting a rich attitude who spends money (s)he doesn't have, that's crazy to me. You're trying to keep up with the Joneses because you see the 8-room house, and the 4 luxury cars in the driveway. What that person doesn't realize about keeping up with the Jones' is two things: 1. The Jones' could be drowning in debt trying to keep up their image. Mr. Jones makes $15 an hour, but his wife doesn't work. He's killing himself to live in a rich neighborhood on what's considered a middle-class salary. 2. The Jones' could be debt free so they can afford to live the "good" life. The husband and wife are top executives at a major corporation, and they have multiple incomes, growing investment accounts, kids in private school, etc. In that instance, the Jones' can afford to live in the best hood possible so their child(ren) can have the best. It's ok to be broke and adopt a rich attitude if you're trying to increase your finances. That's understandable because if someone is broke and they want to increase their cash flow, it would make sense to adopt a rich attitude. Having a rich attitude goes into how you value money; you make your money work for YOU. Sometimes, you have to take a lesser job and come up off that. Use that "lesser" job as a stepping stone to something greater. That builds humility because you're being taught how to be faithful in little. The Bible states you're blessed with greater if you're faithful with least.
