Psychology of poverty
You can not decide what is your standard of living, but do not consider yourself rich? And also you want to prevent or even get rid of poverty, then you need to know the signs of poverty, according to which you can do work on the mistakes. Man himself builds his own destiny and chooses how to live, whether it is poorly bad or rich.
1. Self pity.
You are still crying at night that your life has failed, that your husband is not like your girlfriend and does not buy you a car, a fur coat, decorations. You feel sorry for yourself, because you were born a woman and you, so the fate is such that it is hard for you to go through life, earn big money, do you have to do a lot of housework and children for you? Or do you have an indelible feeling of self-pity, because you are a man and you need to earn money, you have a big responsibility for yourself and for your family? Stop feeling sorry for yourself, from this feeling, your life will not become better, but only add negative emotions, disappointment and depression. And what's really good about it?
2. Avarice or greed.
You look around in search of the word "action", look on the Internet for great offers and sales, the reluctance to pay a child a decent education, the restriction of cash expenditure on the child and for yourself. All this suggests that you have already formed a poor man’s habit and sit so firmly in you that only hard work on yourself and your qualities will help you to get rid of it.
3. Disliked affairs or unloved work.
Every day you get up in the morning to work with an already spoiled mood, you do not want to rejoice at the new day, because you know in advance that you are going to work, where will you have to do something you dislike? Urgently change such a sad state of affairs. As an alternative, you can take a vacation or try to find a hobby, a favorite thing, who knows, maybe it will grow into an additional and good income.
4. Success = money.
Many people who have a keen need for money think in this way. They measure a person’s success by the amount of money, or, on the contrary, they think that the more money a person has, the more successful he is. There is some truth in this. But what prevents you from becoming successful, setting realistic achievable goals and fulfilling them?

5. Costs exceed your income.
If this is about you, and you cannot do anything about it, then you can safely state one more sign of poverty. You need to learn to allocate your expenses in such a way that you have money left before your paycheck, and you would not need to resort to debts or loans.
6. All at once.
The poor man has no patience in money matters. Such people are interested in maximizing profits in a short period of time. This is not only a risk, but also the likelihood that you will then have to pay more than you can purchase. Therefore, the money must be treated with respect and patience.
7. Complaining about life.
Such a habit is absent in a rich person, he does not whine and does not complain about life, but solves problems and does everything to eliminate unpleasant moments. Low salary, unloved work, stingy customers, inattentive boss. Is it not up to you and your strength? Try to fix the situation and stop complaining about life.
8. Permanent comparison.
You compare yourself with people who have achieved more than you or your relatives, with whom you cannot find mutual understanding. Comparison is good only if you are drawing conclusions and striving for this level, and not when you come to the realization that you are worse.
9. Wealth is measured in money.
But what about the inner world, external beauty, the presence of a beloved spouse and children, living and healthy parents. Doesn't it bring you happiness anymore? Do you think if you become a financially secure person, you will become happy and rich? Wealth is primarily measured by happiness and health, money is, of course, an important criterion, but secondary.
10. Abstraction from the outside world and from the family.
If you often go "in yourself", arrive in a state of depression, despondency, and you have no desire to communicate closely with your relatives, then you are a poor person. And the poor, not only because you have no money, but because you have a family, and you do not value her and do not appreciate her. Remember, children grow up, husbands and wives leave, and parents do not last forever. Start from this moment to live and appreciate all that you have.
