10 Guaranteed Tips to Escape Bankruptcy, Hunger and Poverty

Money has no owner, sometimes you have it, other times you don’t. And money equals food. When you have money, you can hardly die of hunger. To be born poor is not your choice. But if you die poor, it’s your f**king choice! Try to do away with hunger and bankruptcy in your life, otherwise you live a life of miseries and struggles, never will you be fully happy.

The following are ways to help you escape bankruptcy, hunger and the overall poverty in life:

1) Have a garden (whether lending or own)

When you have a garden, you can cultivate some food crops and rear some animals, and you don’t have to be hungry. At the same time, you can do agribusiness where you cultivate cash crops and rear animals for the available market. You can sell your crops and animals- for meat- and end up earning good money to help you move on with life.

2) Secure a job for yourself, whether self or other employments

You need to have a job where you spend your daily time and get appropriate compensation. Go to school and learn skills that are highly competitive in the job market. If you don’t get employed, employ yourself in your own small business or company. With time, you may find yourself employing others to help you do your job. Either way, you will have escaped bankruptcy and hunger.

3) Save for the future

When you have some income, make sure you don’t use all of it. At least you need to save something little for the unexpected future. Accidents happen in life, you may get fired, diseases and other emergencies might also come to deteriorate your economic standards. But if you have some savings, you will remain stable even after these life situations.

4) Avoid unbudgeted expenditures

Try to avoid expenditures that you never planned in your budget. They break your plan and you end up misusing your money. Spend on the unbudgeted only if it is really important- may be you forgot to list it down. To ensure this, do not carry more money than the budget total when going for shopping.

5) Invest in other sectors

You should not put all your eggs in one basket. If it falls, all your eggs get broken. Try to invest in other sectors different from your own. Buy shares from different companies so that you don’t have to go bankrupt if one company fails.

6) Know how to prioritize expenditures

Learn to prioritize your expenditures on needs and wants that are really important. Hold on the ones that can wait longer. Prioritize on using your money on things that can bring you more money where possible.

7) Help others where you can, they might assist you in future

Live for others and they will live for you. Help those you can. Do not literally help expecting help in return. But if you help, God will send you a helper when you need one. Practice kindness and generosity. Not all people will watch you suffer when they can help.

8) Diversify your income sources

Try to get more income sources instead of relying only on one source of income. If you earn through employment for instance, you should invest in other sectors such as business or agriculture so that you don’t have to suffer when fired. When you have many sources of income, you can hardly become bankrupt or die of hunger even after one source collapses.

9) Research what others are doing

Stay updated with the current trends in the world. Research what other people are doing to get more money and escape poverty. Read books, newspapers and magazines, and even ask “Google” to be well informed about what others are doing to better their lifes. Go for the ones that do not compromise your personal principles.

10) Pray the Most High

If you want to move on well in life, let God be by your side. Do the right and try not to break His commands which are written in our hearts. Always pray Him to guide and provide for you. Do what you can and leave the rest to Him. If you pray in faith, God answers prayers. Let Him intervene in your life and you will never be bankrupt, die of hunger or remain poor.

Try to do things that can better your life and help you escape poverty, bankruptcy and hunger. No one deserves these. Not even you!

Seven Things to Quit to Make Your Life More Enjoyable

Sometimes we waste time doing things that add no value to our lives. We stress ourselves over things that we can’t control. These things have a long-term negative impact on our happiness and comfortability in the lives we live. However, the earlier we stop doing them, the happier we will become. We will be able to quickly and efficiently achieve our life goals and desires. Below are the seven things that you should quit now to enhance your life.

Quit These Things Now For Your Own Good!

1) Trying to please everyone.

Some people always try to act with an aim of pleasing others. This makes them forget their lives and goals, as well as depreciating their self-happiness. However, you should always do what your mind tells you to do. Trust your conscience. Don’t do things to please somebody or make them happy. If it’s what makes you happy, contented and comfortable in this life, do it with less concern about the rest. But make sure your actions don’t hurt others.

2) Fearing change.

As it is inevitable, we should not fear change. And as it is said; if it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you. So look for and do those things that challenge you. Be ready for any change, for better or worse. After all, it must come even if you tend to refuse it, and if this happens, it may have negative results on your side or make your development strides slow. Be strong, courageous and always anticipate to face change, so that you can be able to rule/guide its directions.

3) Undermining yourself and putting yourself down.

Some people underestimate their potential and fear trying things in their lives. This should not be the case. Even if you fail in a project, never put yourself down. Failure only teaches you a new method not to use again; if you analyze its cause fully, you can change the step that resulted to failure and try it once more; no act of giving up. You are capable of doing anything in this world. So don’t think you can’t, be positive-minded and be ready to play in this filed called life.

4) Overthinking.

Sometimes, you may find yourself thinking too much about something. However, you shouldn’t overthink. It only leads to stress, depression & stagnancy in the very same stage you are in. We should think less than we act. Think of those things that make you succeed in life. Think of how to address issues affecting you. But be keen not to overthink, as it will lead to wastage of precious time which you were supposed to be acting on your plans. This slows your process in a project. Manage your time to think and act as per your plans to achieve the goals you’ve set.

5) Overstressing over things you can’t change.

At times, there happen things in our lives that we cannot control or change. This may include natural happenings, government operations, the death of our loved ones, among others. Overstressing yourself about such things will only lead you to depression and other negative impacts that come with stress. Instead, try to do things that make you forget these stressing issues such as hiking, walking, reading a novel, among other leisure activities.

6) Living in the past.

This is just another thing that most people do. Living in the olden ways and thinking in the same ways as you were doing before. We must advance and improve the way we think and do our things. Think as a modern person, search the modern way of doing things and upgrade your mind to live the real way. Forget those things that pull you down. People who always discourage you on new inventions and progression. Always focus on today and the future. Think broadly how to make your future better than today and yesterday and realistic as you can.

7) Minding other people’s business.

In certain cases, you may find yourself watching, following and thinking about what other people are doing or saying. This is not bad to say, but when it doesn’t have a lesson to teach you, then it’s only a waste of time. Always try to mind your own business and leave others’ alone. This way, you will be able to concentrate more on what builds you and therefore you will become happy and prosperous.

Final Verdict

Those are the common things we do in our daily lives and end up depreciating ourselves. Doing away with them will help you save more time, become happier and able to accomplish your life goals.
