Change Your Language

Language is very important as it is language that is a mirror of one’s attitudes, thoughts and insights. You can tell where most (if not all) people are financially by listening to their language about money. Let’s take a peak and tell me if my conclusion is correct or not:

An immature financial person will say something like “I can’t afford this”.
A mature financial person will say “I must budget a little more for this in order to acquire it”.

An immature financial person will say “I make the money but I don’t have anything to show for it”.
A mature financial person will say “I can account for every dollar was spent”.

An immature financial person will say “I wish I had what he or she has”.
A mature financial person will say “I can have that but I need to develop a quality financial plan in order to obtain it a little later”.

An immature financial person will say “I am broke”.
A mature financial person will say “I don’t have the money I need right now but I will obtain it shortly”.

Language reveals a person’s mindset, character and what one is trying to hide. Which person are you, the financially immature or the financially mature person?
