The benefit of living in a free society is that we all have the choice to be rich, poor, or middle class. The decision is up to you.
The rich are those who play to win. The middle class plays not to lose.
The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.
Financial leverage is the advantage the rich have over the poor and middle class.
Inside each of you is a rich person, a poor person & a middle class person. It is up to you to decide which person you become.
Self-discipline is the No. 1 delineating factor between the rich, the middle class and the poor.
The rich buy assets. The poor only have expenses. The middle class buys liabilities they think are assets. The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.
Rich people acquire assets. The poor and middle class acquire liabilities that they think are assets,
Rich people buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle class tend to buy luxuries first.

As one of my teachers, Buckminster Fuller, says, we were given a right foot and a left foot, not a right foot and a wrong foot. The point is that, there's always two points of view out there, and we need to increase our ability to allow another point of view. Then we have a better chance for peace.
