I can guarantee you will have a fuller wallet and a fatter bank account if you follow my advice. This is not some get rich quick scheme.
I am not even going to ask you to buy something for this "secret".
But I could.
I could weave together a whole bunch of pretty words telling you that if you give me a few bucks I will send you an e-book revealing the number one tip to make you wealthier. Leading you to place my "book of secrets" in your shopping cart and pull out your well used credit card.
Don't get me wrong, I could sure use your money! I would love if you each gave me $29.99 for the advice I am about to share. For my words. I'm a single mom of three hungry and active young men- of course I would put every dollar to very good use, so if you feel compelled to help a hardworking gal out, I will definitely not argue- you know where my Steemit wallet is ;)
But I am not that sleazy salesman person. I'm not making a huge advertisement to tweak your emotional cortex with promises of riches in exchange for a small payment. I could weave together a bunch of words and toss in shiny pictures of Lamborghinis and Rolexes, mansions and all the beautiful celebrities who will clamor to count you as their friend once you know the secret and put it to use. I know the advertising tricks, I took the classes in school that teach how to manipulate your emotions into driving you to purchase my little e-book on how to get richer.
I could sell you that e-book alongside the ten thousand other e-books promising the same. And when you read it, you will realize that it has all the same stuff you've been taught all these years. Everything you already know.
But I got $29.99 from you.
Now who's getting richer?
You want to know the "secret" to getting richer?
Stop buying stuff like that!
Stop falling for the ads that promise you'll be sexier if you buy product X!
Stop clicking on things just because there is a beautiful model batting her eyelashes and smiling at you!
Do you really think you will get a model to fall at your feet and love you if you drive car X? Can you honestly tell me the logical part of your brain actually believes that thirty dollar e-book has a tip you don't know already on how to have more money?
You already know how to have more money.
Stop buying stuff you do not truly need because it promises sex, money, beauty, weight loss, or happiness.
Because, really, has it ever?
That, my friend, is how you will get richer. Tried and true proven advice I am sharing with you.
Now where's my $29.99?

Very sound advice. Unfortunately, there will always be people buying those e-books that offers advice and tips that they believe will make them successful despite the facts saying otherwise. It's just human nature I guess. Anyways, thanks for the interesting article.
That's the thing. When it comes to money and purchases- you absolutely cannot allow your emotions to take over and make the decisions. You have to leave them out of purchases and use your logical brain.
Yep it is .
But some time brain become useless when some one tell about to get a lot of money . so its the way that we do thing like that because we become venal
when it comes to invest you cant get to emotional either.
Hahahahaha...I laughed so hard .
When I saw the topic I was like , ummmm yet another get Rich hulabaloo. But when I started reading, I really enjoyed your drift.
This piece reminds me so much of when I was in school. The university precisely. Towards my final year, we had lots of guys coming in to sell different books to us. You would see a guy on suit coming to sell a book on how to scale a job interview flawlessly and I wondered why they still sold books of they know so much about scaling a job interview. Why don't they just go look for a job.
Many people write books on how to have a happy home, yet they are divorced or have their homes in a wreck. People write and sell books on how to get Rick quick yet they are selling books in schools, why don't they apply what they wrote to get Rich?
Its just funny how many people fall prey to these schemes on a daily basis. Human beings are just too gullible .
Everything you said here, so true! And sad when you really think about it!
Reminds me of an old saying: those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
But... The question that begs is: why on Earth are we listening to those who can't??!
Love this! I really feel at this point in time, with the right skills; you can sell almost anything to anyone. Its almost embarrassing how stupid people sometimes are. I just got a blogging lady on my feed who had 10.000 followers in 2 days or something like that. I didnt even click on it.
Want to be happier? Write a book, buy some advertising time, get filthy rich. Its disgusting because the weak ones will always be the victims of this bullshit, and they should be protected of themselves at sometimes
Also- money does not buy happiness.
Sure, it helps you feel safer and more secure, but nothing can buy or create happiness but you yourself. From the inside.
Amen to that! Happyness doesnt fly into you, you have to actively work on it. And stop 'just wanting to be happy'. It should be a result from what you are doing.
Greetings from the Caribbean. My chosen destination..to be happy ;)
Ah, yesss! Interesting locale, and one I'm planning on in the very near future as one of my favorite places to spend my happiness at ;)
Hahahaha
@arbitrarykitten
Sorry i do not have enough amount to give you lol...
Good post there . i lot of things that happens in our life like that .
But we trust them and invest in that things but the result is worst .
I appreciate your work . and the writing too .
Your writing skills are awesome .
Lol!
Thank you my friend. It makes me happy that I can give so much to the community I love :)
Welcome . and thanks for that .
wow! thank you for this amazing post. love your sincerity and a heart like yours that is willing to help others @arbitrarykitten
I am simply honest and real <3
Thank you.
I'm happy you enjoyed it :)
you're beautifully amazing! it's no wonder your kind is rare.
You are very sweet :)
Dear Kitten,
This was your ebook in this post and I believe that 1sbd will be worth at least 29.99 at some point, I haven't read your stories of your plight with your life and your jeep but I know it like to have to deal with
tough times, for I lost my home to the narrisistic kind. Power on woman sister I will invest in you and me!
Peace to you and I just sense prosperity is about to fall from unexpected spaces this spring from a long winter of discontent.
xoxo
Lynn
Oh I absolutely believe in the future of STEEM :)
I had one of those once. My very own narc. Oh, the joys of ownership of a narc... I, too, lost my home to mine. I will never acquire another one. Narc, that is. I will definitely get another home, lol!
The winter of discontent is melting away- true that. The sun is coming out my sister ;)
the check is in the male...
(oh wait...)
er...I actually bought an e-book that provided me the opportunity to make money.
it worked!
Back in August of '16 I bought an e-book about Steemit.
(didn't cost NEAR that much...perhaps $2.99...I forget)
The check is in the male! Oh, hell, now where did I put my male...?
$2.99 is a bargain for introducing you to Planet Steemit!
yup it was.
I've recouped my investment ....a LOT.
Lol.. @arbitrarykitten for a moment i started wondering if payment can be made in sbd/steem.. 😉
Btw the mantra you have shared, i never did any of those...never ran after any eye blushing ads, i am happy what i am, so never run for product that makes me sexier....never been after any product which are not required ...still being wealthier is far off from me...... Wat you exactly mean ...wealthier by heart or wealthier by pocket?
I read meaning wealthier by pocket. Money cannot buy happiness.
Not buying unnecessary things will not necessarily make your wealthy, but it will sure help keep more money in your pocket so you will be wealthier.
;)
Agree...each penny counts..

nice and a helpful advice dear.
That's great to hear! Thanks :)
your welcome.
have you recall me dear?
@arbitrarykitten, I love the advice. I think that others need to hear this advice.
If I could summarize your message in one word I would say, "restraint".
We need to hold back from thinking that we deserve our wants and focus more on meeting our needs. Great message!
That's a difficult one. I believe you should feel you deserve to want for things, but if you're only letting your emotions rule your pocketbook, then those wants will spin out of hand to where you're "wanting" thinks you'd never normally want had you not been a victim of consumerism advertising...
Good point!
Thanks!
what happens a lot is the keeping up with the jones effect . People so the guy next door with the big house and the new car so they think they have to do the same .In both cases there paid with debt .
Exactly.
Wow, sinceramente este post confunde con el titulo. Pero si verdaderamente no fuera un principiante en steemit y mi poder de voto fuese de un valor de los 29.99$ o de 100$ o una tasa alta, créeme que este post se llevaría el 100% de mi poder de voto. Super increíble. Saludos @arbitrarykitten. se necesita mas de esto, sigue así.
thank you for this Ms. @arbitrarykitten :)
i see what you did there. hehe
very simple yet on point. people should follow this advice and never be a victim of such scheme.
Anyways, i've been away for more than a week now, how are you now?
Have a great day ahead!
I'm slowly getting better, thanks for asking :)
hope you fully recovery soon. 😊
hahaha, almost everyone falls in love with these tricks, and they say how they could live without that and when they buy it they never use it, it's illogical. Just spend the money on unnecessary items. Excellent its publication
It's such a common trick all the advertisers use... Surprisingly effective!
Lol.... This is quite funny but true.
Lol, glad you got a kick out of it!
I would have to save first ms. @arbitrarykitten before I can pay you 29.99 😊😊😊
We should really be wiser on spending our money 😘❤️
hehe!
It doesn't take financial wizardry or a winning lottery price tag to boom your internet worth. a few smart moves ought to instantly make you richer.
In his new e book "Money: Master The Game," Tony Robbins shares five center strategies for achieving your financial desires quicker.
someone of them will positioned more coins on your private stability sheet, however if you tackle numerous right now, "you'll be unstoppable," he says.
Tony Robbins is a master at the game... And terribly inspirational.
So.... If I understood...
Will I get richier, sexier and happier by sending you $29.99??
Great!
where do I send the money???????
G´day to ya, son
He he! Yes!
Just click on your Steemit wallet and transfer $29.99- I do accept Steem and SBD ;)
Cheers my friend!
Hahahaha good one @arbitrarykitten. You are absolutely right about buying all the stuff won't make us any richer and I loved the humorous spin you put on the topic. Too bad i found it just after I posted my curation post or else this one would have been in it.
Glad you liked it hun :)
So true @arbitrarykitten. People need to cut back and be smarter. Hopefully they can read your article and realise :D Thanks for writing this.
Thanks for reading!
This is just like, send me a $1 and I'll teach you how to make $10,000. I hope you're feeling better. 🙏
Exactly!
I am slowly getting better. Not as fast as I would like, lol, but I know it's a process :) and I am still taking it very easy.
Thank you <3
preying on the insecurities is the core principle of retail, unfortunately.
slightly off, but an interesting social observation.
I was lucky when I was young, and had a 'shit hot job' (it was crap, but that's how it looked from the outside).
I had a brand new BMW each year. (I was only 20, so gimme a break )
Being 20 and full of hormones, the beemer worked wonders! (seriously).
it's not deep or meaningful or anything - but I definitely noticed a difference compared to when not driving a hot car.
Sad but true.
(the state of materialism in society, not me. lol)
Golddiggers aboud when hot cars are in their peripherals - however they only bring heartbreak and misfortune...
oh, no far ....from it. I had a blast!

People don't want to be told that hard work is the solution to earning more money, unfortunately.
How about 9 cents in Steem that will be $2900.00 in the future! Sorry I've been out of pocket again. Work got really busy. Are you healing okay?
I would say investing money in knowledge will always be a good idea. Especially real books from for example Kindle. Great knowledge really takes some digging to discover. Since it's more hidden and perhaps you aren't ready for it. But knowledge will always pay off in the long run if you combine in with humility and hard + smart work. Eventually you will find something that just works and clicks. But it's usually a build up of all the smaller knowledge learning moments you have had.
