The Prudence of Spending Money
Last post we discussed why being “realistic” was a bad premise. I suggested that a better word to use when considering something that might be considered expensive, extravagant, or not realistic is prudent. So let’s go back to Tom’s original question about the ocean front room vs. the dumpster behind Denny’s view, let’s explore it in the prudent context.
Expanding Your Prosperity Consciousness
We talk a lot here about expanding your consciousness. And a great deal about prosperity. So let’s tie them together and explore expanding your prosperity consciousness…
Working Hard to Stay Broke
If you live in the first world, you have to work really hard to remain poor. (Which often infuriates people when I say that.)
Prosperity and Human Dignity
I think we have to go back to my first assertion, that we need to navigate commentary, satire, and all forms of humor through the lens of where we are stealing people’s dignity.

The Poverty or Prosperity Consciousness Test
If you make your financial decisions with poverty consciousness, it will bleed into every area of your life. Take the test and find out where you really stand.
Poverty Consciousness – The Lie of the Lowest Bid
Yes, part of being prosperous is being prudent with money. It doesn’t make sense to pay 40 percent more for the same item because it has a certain brand logo on it. Just don’t confuse being cheap with being savvy. They’re not usually in sync. And most of the time, they’re mutually exclusive.
The Shocking Truth about Positive People
It’s great to do self-development work and get your mindset in a positive place. But that won’t always be the case. Sometimes your mindset isn’t going to support the long-term goals you want to achieve, or the person you wish to become.
