It’s Time to Take Action on Your Finances http://www.thinkbigthinkmoney.com/when-will-you-get-broke-its-time-to-take-action-on-your-finances/ Personal Development and Financial Planning for Young Professionals Sun, 31 Jul 2011 14:47:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ken Siew http://www.thinkbigthinkmoney.com/when-will-you-get-broke-its-time-to-take-action-on-your-finances/comment-page-1/#comment-214 Ken Siew Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:46:15 +0000 http://www.thinkbigthinkmoney.com/?p=1059#comment-214 Johnny, your point is well taken. The main point of this post is, however, not to dictate that all of us will behave the same way and will not adjust their lifestyles when they know they’re running out of money. What I’m saying is that if we don’t do anything to spruce up our finances, we will eventually face financial difficulties in our life. And it’s about time we realize it and start doing things to prevent that. Of course, there are a lot of different factors that will determine the final outcome, but I believe we should be prepared for our future. The purpose of this post is to help people get out of the comfort zone and learn to manage their hard-earned money. As for homelessness, most of them are really temporary. And there’s no negative connotation here, as even John Paul DeJoria, a billionaire entrepreneur, has also been homeless before. So, I agree with you that we humans can definitely turn the tide around and change our circumstances. Johnny, your point is well taken.

What people should really be doing is stop over spending. The ideals preached here has been pointed out in multiple sources including other blogs and books. You forget that humans have the ability to adapt to multiple situations and have the ability to adjust their lifestyles. You start off with the mention of homelessness but have you even considered what the percentage of homeless vs the rest of the population? I'm pretty sure it's not that big. And yes, those are the few that have extraordinary circumstances that maybe beyond their control. Sorry I find no value in your posts and will stop my follow on twitter. Good day.
