This one belief is probably keeping you from being rich

Do you find it hard to save $$?  

Why is that?  Well on the surface the answer is pretty easy “I don’t have enough money left after my expenses”.  I hear you.  However, I think deep down your subconscious beliefs are what really keeps you from saving.

So here you are staring at that nice new golf club/TV/killer purse/Wii/etc and $500 are just burning a hole in your pocket.  You know you should save that money but your subconscious is telling you that if you stash away that $500 they will just go in a black hole never to be seen again.  

You then talk yourself into it by thinking “pleasure now, or pleasure later when you retire and are too old to enjoy it anyway…”    Sound familiar?

Most of us have been conditioned to think that saving means stashing away money and never seeing it again.  I think most of you know it by the name of 401k. We know our savings are growing (hopefully) but somehow it just doesn’t feel like real money.

Here’s an idea: Invest in vehicles that pay you now.   Huh?

If you had a $25,000 investment making you a 10% dividend you’d be pocketing $2,500 a year, every year.  Think about that.  It’s like getting a $2,500 bonus check year after year for not doing anything.

If you know that every $500 you invest will pay you $50 back every year would you be more inclined to invest?  That golf club doesn’t look that attractive any more does it?
