I went to a gathering last night with my friends that are all well off financially. They have worries about money I'm sure, but much different then mine. Mine are more like, am I going to have enough money to buy food and gas for the week? I feel like an outsider sometimes being there with them. I work in a job ( Just Over Broke) so that I can manage to pay my bills while they go out traveling the world.
There is a huge silent stigma around people who don't have money being looked at as stupid. It's a silent stigma that I think people are too ashamed to talk about. If you are not in a great financial position at that stage in your life, the question they are asking themselves, is " What is wrong with you?" Why haven't you made your life work by now? But there is no support in the " Stupid Financial World " that helps people like me the Just Over Broke generation.
Most people who have a lot of money, look at people who are just over broke, very differently. It's like we are silently shamed for not being able to get our "act together" to provide for our own needs. We are a society that lacks in the mental education around finances. And I am part of this collective consciousness.
So, what am I going to do about it? Well, it seems that the universe has put in my path an opportunity to learn about the financial world through a program that will help me to provide education for the under-developed financial world. The Just Over Broke Generation. I will have a lot of support through this company. I can feel it.
I'm not going to go into great detail on it at this time. I have a lot of homework to do and a test that I need to pass in order to become a leader in the financial greatness of eliminating poverty consciousness. Along with this, is the great lesson of believing in myself and overcoming self-doubt issues.
The business platforms of today will only provide a base to help people survive. That's it. Nothing more. If your like me, you end up in dead end jobs that don't provide hope for a stable financial future. You will never get a raise, you live from paycheck to paycheck never seeing the end of debt. You have accumulated material crap to help you feed your inner hunger for life never leaving your house and you become withdrawn to life because you feel like "what's the use."
Well I always have hope, and I get inspired when times get tough. I may not have a lot of money, but what I do have is a lot of skills, determination, perseverance, courage and loyalty...and no amount of money can buy these qualities.
I'm glad I decided to blog today. Something seems to have lite me up from the inside by writing this one out. I have an idea about a foundation I can create with this new perspective on money....
