15 ways to become wealthy from neo atheism
please take it with a pinch of salt.

in light of wealth enviers and the tired old cliché of “the rich get richer while the poor get poorer”; i have taken it upon myself to construct a list of how easy it is to become wealthy. it is common sense principles, nothing more. there’s no secret or devious secrets behind it. it’s a matter of fiscal responsibility tied together with determination.

  1. don’t smoke.
  2. don’t drink (exception: important social occasions)
  3. don’t buy what you don’t need.
  4. bargain buy.
  5. don’t have children.
  6. get only into truly meaningful romantic relationships. going into a relationship for the sake of having one, eats away at your wallet. make sure your partner is fair and not sexist, which means they pay for their fair share.
  7. get a roommate to save housing costs.
  8. eat healthy and exercise: saves on medical expenses.
  9. be a defensive driver: saves money on car insurance.
  10. invest with the money you save up.
  11. time management is very important; skip everything that is a waste of time. rather than spending hours listening to music, watching senseless television or hanging out just to hang out is time that could otherwise be invested into college courses.
  12. be an entrepreneur and offer a product or service that consumers will want. it’s not hard, it simply requires a bit of brain power on your part.
  13. never borrow except in emergencies. have only one credit card and scarcely use it. always whenever possible pay cash.
  14. don’t senselessly donate to charity or any other “feel good” causes. charity foundations tend to have no strings attached to the money, which only creates dependency.
  15. never ever present yourself as a “rebel”, neither in looks or language. employers want serious, dedicated and professional members of society to work for them. your communication and writing skills are essential to landing a well paying job. if these skills are lacking, you have no one to blame but yourself.

which have you achieve?
