A wise person should have money in their head.

“A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.”-Jonathan Swift A wise person should have money in their head where they are not so much attached to the money and a person shouldn't care so much about money cause In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle. Therefore a person should not pay a lot of their attention and energy on money for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. If a person can't surely retain money at all times it is more advisable for a person to have his money on his head.

If you want to know what a man is really like.

“If you want to know what a man is really like, take notice of how he acts when he loses money.”-Simone Weil The true character of a person comes to the light when trials hit him. If a person cannot control his emotions when life hits them and understand it's only a season, not a life sentence and just treat threats like it's nothing they can grow to become great people. Most people when they lose money they act like the world is ending and they may act foolishly since they are so much attached to money that they feel like it is a death sentence. What should a person do if they come to various trials in life they should endure since endurance produces character and character produces hope and hope doesn't disappoint a person.

Empty pockets never held anyone back.

“Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.”-Norman Vincent Peale Empty pockets never held anyone back since you don't have to be rich to be successful or do something great in life. Everyone was born with the seeds of greatness within them and many people go through life searching for that greatness elsewhere and start blaming other people and situations because they have failed to recognize the greatness that is within them. We have to start being responsible for our lives and take control and be grateful for that which we have in our lives. Only empty heads and empty hearts can hold a person back when a person starts operating with negative energy this holds a person back since like energies attract. A person cannot have a negative perspective in life and still be attracting good things in their life making the statement true that we don't get what we want but who we are.

I pity that man who wants a coat so cheap.

“I pity that man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth shall starve in the process.”-Benjamin Harrison A stingy person hurries after riches and doesn't know that poverty waits for him and you will be obliged to pity the man who is employed by a stingy man cause he wants his coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth shall starve in the process. Holding back makes a person lose more than he thought he could keep and this makes a person end up in poverty since a person only cares about himself and is a mean person.

Never stand begging.

Image
“Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.”-Miguel de Cervantes Never stand begging for something you have the capability to get therefore a person should have a strong belief in himself and know that they are worthy to receive that which they are seeking, When a person's self-worth rises his net worth grows as well and a person should know they have seeds of greatness within them and what they are seek is also seeking them. A person has to acknowledge that God has not given a man a spirit of fear but of power and self-control, therefore, a person should be bold and know a little faith can move mountains. In conclusion, a person should not stand begging for that which they have the power to earn because a man was created for more than that which he tends to beg for.

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it.

“Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.”-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Many people misuse their money when they have plenty and they don’t care about anything until they come nearly to the end of it that is when they start regretting on how they spent their money careless instead of setting some aside and using the rest in profitable things or essential things but time is more valuable than money since you can get more money but you can’t get more time. If a person is wasting his time on earth on useless things he will end up being bitter and miserable the rest of his life cause when he had energy and strength he failed to be serious in his work, therefore, he never achieved anything worthwhile in life but he spent most of his following and seeking useless things.

When I had money everyone called me brother.

“When I had money everyone called me brother."-Polish proverb When a person has money many people will want to be close to that person because they seek favoritism with them since a poor person is even hated by his neighbors. Having money somehow it's good since many people will respect you and be kind to you but afterward, if a person comes to lose all his wealth and goes to seeks friendship with the same people he will have a rude awakening, therefore, what should a person do? a person should try to seek friendship with a person who makes him grow spiritually, emotionally and physically cause as iron sharpens iron so one friend sharpens another. Authentic friendship is essential in creating long-lasting friendships.

Many folks think they aren’t good at earning money.

“Many folks think they aren’t good at earning money, when what they don’t know is how to use it.”-Frank A. Clark Many folks think they aren’t good at earning money since if they were earning more money they wouldn't have anything pending in their lives and they would have fewer expenses. It has been documented the more a person earns the more his expenses rise and therefore if a person still thinks that they aren’t good at earning money they are most likely mistaken. When a person starts earning more money the first thoughts they have is to expand what they have if it is the house they are still living in they start thinking they don't fit it same house any longer since it has started looking small to them and many examples may be given like getting nice gadgets and electronics and also buying a nice car. Even if a person thinks that they are on a tight budget they still they have loopholes where they lose some money or misuse it if they haven't examined where their m

The habit of saving is itself an education.

“The habit of saving is itself an education; it fosters every virtue, teaches self-denial, cultivates the sense of order, trains to forethought, and so broadens the mind.”T.T. Munger Money teaches us if we save it today it will save us tomorrow. A wise person doesn’t spend all his wealth at once he plans for the future by saving some cash. A person has to learn the law of sowing and reaping since a sluggard refuses to plow during the planting season, and when the harvest time arrives he looks for the crop but has nothing. If a person can learn how to deny himself to save for a greater purpose it will foster every virtue and will cultivate a sense of order since a person is planning ahead of time and knows what he wants to accomplish. Therefore it trains to forethought and does broaden the mind since a mind that is stretched by a new idea never regains its original size.
