We are in a time that requires sound [financial](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-finance) mindset for us to survive the current global financial crises hitting the pockets of the masses very hard. 

If even the Americans are feeling the heat of inflation as a man shouted at Jill Biden, 

> Your husband is the worst president we've ever had

Then, this tells us the world is in a global mess all together with a lot depending on us to alleviate the hardship with the hope of getting out of this mess sooner.

The mindset in our society is very disturbing in relation to how one handles [money](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-money), what is a priority and what should be determining factors when forming friendship or relationship with people. 

It has become a norm in the society here, if you don't own a car, you are seen as one with no future. It is the easiest way for some ladies to tell if a man is capable of providing for his family or just a loser with no goals, the same can be said for some men with lavish life style living to impress. 

I had an experience with a lady recently, prior to going for a lunch date the excitement of a potential relationship was high. Then comes Joe rocking up at a date without having a car, the excitement dropped drastically. 

The conversation went to how many kids we want and I was asked 

> are you financially capable of fathering a child?

To this lady I kept repeating the word **build** meaning I want a woman whom we can build for the future together but it never clicked for her. At some point she said as much as she wants a relationship she don't want to suffer. 
 
This I find to be a societal poverty mindset very disturbing, you get judged based on your appearance and what you own and not the goals you have and what you have going on for you. 
The mindset to live life impressing others is the quickest way to remain poor for life. 
Life is meant to be lived fully and enjoyable but there are principles worth implementing so as not to end up living life in debt for short occasions of fun thinking you are living life to the fullest. 

There are some guests in our lives not worthy of our attention so they can leave, this lady was just another unwelcome guest.
