Wealth Today

Many settle for the comfort and stability of a job, while never really asking if we’re being paid what we deserve.

Suze address this with a law of money:

Law Of Money
When you undervalue what you do, the world will undervalue who you are.

Try stopping to ask yourself if you’re being paid what you would expect to pay for the service or product you provide. Answer honestly. If you’re being paid less, perhaps it is time for a change. If you’re being paid more, maybe it’s time to raise our perceptions, and at the same time our expectations, and we will value ourselves more.

In The Courage To Be Rich, Suze Orman gives some advice on putting into perspective the relationship between our current financial status and where we want to be financially. Sometimes getting more is as simple as asking. We have to ask more from ourselves, ask more from our financial transactions, and more from our money. People struggling with their current situation may do better by asking themself if they really are doing the best that they can. Without allowing room for improvement, it may very well never happen. My favorite quote from this section:

In order to become rich, your self-worth has to rise along with your net worth– you must feel you deserve to be rich, you must never cast yourself as the victim, you must stop settling or feeling as if you’re just getting by, and you must make the most of what you have.
