Many Americans spend the majority of their lives trying to obtain wealth. Some people's mentality is “the more I make the more I want”. There is not a comfort zone. Don't misinterpret what I am saying because there is nothing wrong with obtaining wealth. But, if we stop to think for a moment, it is not the amount of wealth that we have. It’s how we manage what we have. Our eyes are the key to our minds, so the more we see, the more we want. 

 With the tough economic times we are experiencing, it's the perfect opportunity to recalculate our wealth. Maybe we will realize that we are actually richer than we think. Our minds are clouded because we have stretched our resources to the limit trying to fulfill society’s definition of wealth. We try to live according our desires and not necessarily what we can afford. That is where many mistakes are made.

 Key Thought: Their are different types of wealth:

  Financially Wealthy - You have enough to take care of all your needs and some of your wants. You can have peace of mind because money is never an issue in your day to day life.

The love of money is said to be the root of all evil, but wisdom and a substantial amount of money will definitely help you live a financially stress free life.

 Rich In Love - Being rich with love is more rewarding than money. Love gives people the opportunity to share affection and comfort. It will also allow people to bless you in a time of need. Regardless of what you are going through, you will have love and support.

There are many wealthy people that are miserable because there lives are empty and there is no passion in there lives.

 If you learn to refocus the beginning of each day is another opportunity to make positive financial changes in your life.
