PoorMan’s Timetable
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
Money changes more than your pocket it actually bends and distorts time! Things that you planned a lifetime to get all of a sudden appear tomorrow. Places you planned to go for retirement you cross off your list this summer. What you wanted to do for your mother you took care of before you took care of yourself. Cars you only imagined to drive are a choice of how much you want to show off. So why wouldn’t it push back the time you decided to get married?
It’s a fact that most of your educated people who have a master level or professorial level degree do not get married into well into their 30′s or 40′s. It’s also a fact that most people who run a profitable business also jump the broom with little to no vertical leap left. Another fact is most people who marry before they have money divorce the person they built it with once they have it. Yet one more fact is the number 1 reason for divorce surrounds the lack of money and the sacrifices others are unwilling to make. Now none of these facts are 100% valid but they are the current statistics and trends.
I say all that to say money will destroy the timetable you had before you had money. Higher education which translates into more money will destroy the timetable you had when you got out of high school. Do not spend anytime fretting or comparing yourself to the standards held by those who have built their life on what job people will give to them, what vacation time someone will give to them, what party time someone will give to them and overall what opportunities someone will give to them!
Money changes the timetable and allows you to determine when you actually want to bring these things and people into your life. Most likely money will allow you to see more than your high school sweetheart. Most likely money will introduce you to the big house instead of the starter house. Money will take you to a great restaurant instead of where you guys bumped into each other trying to save a buck. So nothing will be the same not even that PoorMan’s timetable!

Good post….I’ve been mentally preparing myself for when I really start making money because I know it’s going to be a whole new world for me and I don’t wanna screw it up. The problem is my spending habits have been terrible over the last 6 months so I’m like I gotta buckle down. If I can’t handle 50 g’s a year, how am I going to manage millions????
Well it definitely changes things your over shopping at 50K might be a damn problem when you have 50k a month! You might think you need a personal stylist LMBAO!
The best advice I can give you is give yourself the same salary of 50K and use that as pocket money. Use the rest of the money to pay rent and keep stacking chips. When I first started I actually spent less than what I used to because I like stacking chips more than I like spending. It took me about a year of being in business before I started to change my life and moved into Manhattan.
My biggest surprise was me losing all my goals. I had a plan all the way til I was 40 and then all of a sudden it didn’t make sense. I went all the places I wanted, I took care of my family, I lived where I wanted and I dressed how I wanted! So all of a sudden I had to come up with new goals for where I was now. I just wanted to provide direction to everyone when you get there because all the timetables of the past will cease to make sense.
hmmmm personal stylist…now don’t go giving me no ideas! lmbo
The hardest thing is not working hard to get rich…
The hardest thing in the world is to be broke and can’t get things done the way you want to….that’s hard, for real..
@keish – Now you getting all Diva on us and that’s a FreeMan No No! LMBAO we’re in this for the fortune not for the fame.
@Ed – I agree from the bottom up is definitely tough. It’s definitely frustrating to know how but not have enough chips to do it.
I think all of us who are true to the game hustlers can feel this article. Im almost 30 and still not married. Bossmack? Not Married. Tariq Nasheed? Not Married. CZA? Not Married.
Money changes time and changes you. The person you used to be with isnt the same “perfect fit” for you anymore. You get money, then you get in where you fit in – with other men and women that have money.
Good insight here.
Well said brother! That’s exactly what I was trying to get across that all of these time limits are for normal living people and once you touch some chips and get an abnormal amount of them you shouldn’t expect to live life the way of everyone else. Money changes your opportunities and thus you won’t pick and look the same as everyone else.
Accept that it happens to everyone but since you don’t see the cats with chips you think they are lying about their life. You think they are out there pimping when they really have to be more cautious. You think they are out there not making those connections when they really are invited to these kind of functions. Their life is not like yours and when you touch it you’ll see exactly what they are talking about.
