Wealth Mindset 9: MY MAXIMUM POTENTIAL
The Full Economic Potential of all the cash that will pass through your hands.
----------
Level 1, 2, 3 (Asleep)
You make cash and spend every dollar of it. 40 cents of each dollar you earn goes to Uncle Sam. Federal income tax, state income tax, FICA, Medicare, tax on gas, tax on gas, property tax, sales tax on unlimited items, luxury tax, you get it. Tax is a massive eroding factor in the amount of money he actually holds onto. The next eroding factor is that of interest paid on debt. 35% or .35 cents on each dollar he earns goes to interest on debt. Mortgage debt, auto loans, lines of credit, credit cards, leases, etc. It’s an incredible amount that passes through his hands he holds onto none of it. The remaining cash you have left is spent on your lifestyle. ZERO cash is being saved. How could you possibly even consider saving when you have these kinds of economics going on in your life.
----------
Level 4, 5, 6 (Awake)
You go from zero to about 2-4% savings rate now. You know this does nothing in the grand picture. You know you need to but it has not become a must in your life. You have no commitment. Your Lifestyle is your top priority. You keep saying, someday I will. You think, I hustle my as off and therefore I’m entitled to a great life style. This mindset actually ends up biting you in the ass keeping you in scarcity, creating in scarcity, and feeling a tremendous feeling of lack. Your driving need is significance in your life. And as such you will sacrifice the security of your families economic plan to keep this significance in full force. You earn a higher income but it goes to taxes, debt and lifestyle. You want to save and be empowered by a plan but the need for significance drives the ship leaving you wanting but never doing a thing about it.
