Common Thoughts/Statements Of The Middle Class
“Why does our employer pay us so little?”
“I wish my employer treated and valued me better.”
“I’m underpaid. I should be paid more for my work.”
“I’m not going to stand for this kind of treatment any longer.”
“My employer is exploiting me and getting more out of me for too little pay.”
“I’m quitting. I know I can find something better (yet these people end up in another situation where they feel exploited.”
Have you ever felt or said anything like this?
It’s a typical mentality amongst middle and lower-class people.
They erroneously believe their employers are responsible for their financial outcomes.
When you’re enlightened, you know you’re the only person that can ever and will ever financially exploit yourself, and here’s why:
You are paid exactly what you accept to be paid.
If you accept and expect little, you will be paid little.
If you accept and expect much, you will be paid much.
People frequently complain about their pay but remain in the same line of work or at the same company for years or decades without acting to improve their financial situations.
The first problem with thinking your employers are responsible for your financial situation is that you’re giving them all the power.
Stop Relying On Your Employers To Fund Your Life
A word of advice: Never depend on an employer to fund your life.
The actual definition of wealth, according to Robert T. Kiyosaki, is when your passive income streams cover your expenses.
What classifies as a passive income stream?
Anything that doesn’t require consistent effort on your part to make money. There might be an initial investment of time or money, but at some point, you don’t need to do much to keep the process earning you money in your sleep.
Are You Working Or Creating Your Income?
Most people will spend the majority of their lives working for a paycheck that could disappear at any point.
There’s nothing wrong with holding a job, but it can limit your earning potential and time.
A way to eliminate feelings of exploitation is to create and build your passive income streams.
The Next Time You Feel Exploited…Ask Yourself:
What is my ideal income?
Do I have to remain at this job?
How much passive income am I generating?
How far is my ideal income from my current income?
If I lost my job, how long would I survive without one?
Am I living above my means and creating too many expenses?
Am I taking responsibility for my financial outcomes or relying on other entities?
Ask yourself the hard questions, and remember, you are entirely in charge of your financial outcomes. If you want to shift your financial situation, the first place you can start is investing in building your passive income streams.
