Why We Stay "Poor" ??
"Smart Buyers" are, what Blacks in this country desperately need to become. I know that will be hard to accomplish, given the massive forces in our economy that mitigate against such an outcome; but, it is possible!
What is a "smart" buyer? It is someone who will not spend a dime of his or her money in any way that supports a person, a group, or an organization, that neither respects, nor "invests" in them, or members of their family. Most of us have no clue where our money goes when we spend it!
There is an old saying: "a ghetto is where money enters on Friday night, and is gone by Monday morning". Too many blacks live in places where that is true; not only for money; its true for healthy food, stable businesses, and for personal safety. Where does your money go, and who does it support when you buy your alcohol, gasoline, "stash", clothes, etc.?
A community that is healthy economically is one in which the money that "enters" stays long enough to "cycle" through stable hands and businesses within the community. Is your "community" stable and economically healthy? Do you even live in a community that is "safe"? If not, you're living in one of our many "dumping grounds" for marginal people; maintained by many city governments in this country.
Unfortunately, our "role models" are those who "live large" and "front" their wealth. We copy them, not realizing that very few of them will keep their wealth long enough to "retire" successfully.
How many of us know the difference between "consuming" a dollar, "saving" a dollar, or "investing" a dollar? How many of us know how to protect our wealth from those who can legally "steal" it? How many of us live in "communities" where we might be safer, but none of the money we spend makes us better off financially?
Stay Vigilant! Tell yourself the truth!
