THE REASON FOR MONEY ENVY
Money envy is not only due to our inherent jealous tendencies. Those who are suddenly rich play an ENORMOUS part in shooting themselves in the face. Making money too soon destroys you because you end up destroying yourself. Let me explain.
If you’re that recent college graduate who makes $35,000 and suddenly start making $100,000 at 25 years old, you are going to be hard pressed to contain your excitement. As a guy, you will undoubtedly buy some fancy car that’s way outside your budget because that’s what guys do, buy cars! You think the good times will last forever, so you end up purchasing or leasing a $50,000 BMW 335i coupe. You’ll probably get some new threads and a nice respectable watch as well.
As a gal, you will undoubtedly buy some multi-thousand dollar Louis Vuitton or Hermes handbag. As accessories, you’ll go to Tiffany’s and get yourself a matching bracelet. Of course, no fine lady is without a pair of Christian Louboutins or Manolo’s for $500 a pair! You’ll start posting on Facebook how fabu it was to go to the spa, as well as pictures of you and your girlfriends renting a limo up in wine country. One girl I know loves panties. When she got a nice $20,000 bonus she went out and spent $1,000 just on undergarments! Nice!
Remember, these are 20-something year old recent graduates who can’t help but spend their newfound money until they blow themselves up. I see this all the time, and I know you do too.
