You know, untill the recent moment I thought that amount of money is that defines whether you are poor or you are rich.

I also thought that If you are not lucky enough to be born in wealthy country at wealthy family or you don't have wealthy friends you have rather rare chances to significantly change your financial state. I was wrong.

Not so long ago one clever man who had managed to become rather rich and successful,  said me such interesting words:

<blockquote>
The difference between rich and poor is NOT the different amounts of money they have. In fact, the difference lies in the other case.<br>
<h3>Rich men spend less then they earn and poor man spend more then they earn.</h3>
</blockquote>

I thought a lot about it and actually I should admit that he is right and it is true indeed! From these words one can make a very simple conclusion:

<h3>We don't need much money to be rich. What we really need that is to learn how to spend less then we earn! </h3>

For some very strange reason, this is not taught in any school or college or at the university. At least, in my country, Ukraine. Maybe it is the reason why there are so many poor people. Now I know that wealth is just some kind of energy that comes and  goes depending on how the person is ready for this. The key lies in our perception of the world and ourselves.

Besides, the really important things can't be bought by money. You know, what I am talking about - it is love (I mean true love), friendship, respect, health etc. All this one can achieve regardless of his financial state.

<h3>In fact, the only things that prevents us to be rich are the barriers that we create in our heads! </h3>
