How to Stop Worrying About Money

 A Collection of Information to Help You Create & Maintain Wealth!

First off before I get into this article I'd like to thank EVERYONE who has helped me keep going in my times of need, even when I was ready to give up and go lay in a snowbank to freeze to death my friends, fans and supporters have always managed to pick me up, brush the snow off me, smack my ass and tell me to keep at it. I don't have to name all of the names here.. You know who you are. Even all of those of you who have nay-sayed, trolled and otherwise belittled me deserve thanks as well, you've also motivated me to do better.

"better off than 95% of the planet may seem far fetched to some"

While it's often thought by "less fortunate" people that living poor and impoverished is merely a side effect of one's environment, upbringing, education or some other excuse, as a person who has been penniless/sleeping on the streets and wealthier than 95% of the world's population all before turning 30 I cannot help but shake my head at this. While that claim of once being better off than 95% of the planet may seem far fetched to some, it's not nearly as uncommon nor unattainable as you may think. I'll admit right now I'm not a highly educated individual by anyone's standard and at the time of living as the top 5% I was actually working as an unticketed welder building fracking trailers for use in oil drilling. I was making around $52,000 a year at the time with a take home of around $33,000 after the government gouged me with taxes. If you're a single guy with no dependants in Canada that is enough to put you in the top 5%.


(The sweet pie chart and graph were generated over at givingwhatwecan.org)

Keep in mind I had no special training nor education to land this welding job. To be honest I wasn't that good with a MIG welder when I started either, but like all things that I put before myself with enough practice and discipline I was eventually able to become adept at the art of MIG welding and go on to be successful in the trade.

Want to be richer than 95% of the world?

Don't be afraid to learn new skills...
Push yourself outside your comfort zone!

In order to fully understand this particular triumphant bit in my life you have to realize that only a handful of months before I entered the ranks of the top 5% I had moved from the small conservative mennonite village I was living in to the second largest city in my province with basically nothing but $50, a backpack full of clothes, some pleasantries (toilet paper) and a tent. It was around mid summer and my girlfriend at the time had just broken up with me and kicked me out of her apartment.

I'll never hold resentment towards the woman for doing so. I was basically doing nothing with my life but growing pot and selling drugs. Loser would have been a term of endearment at this point. Having turned basically all my friends into fiends and no longer having anything to anchor me to that village I set out to make a new life for myself...

Now I realize it might not be possible for all folks to just "up and leave" in such a fashion as I did. The point I'm trying to get across with all of this, is that when faced with homelessness and poverty I took a life altering move and decided to attempt to do better. If you accept the fact you are a loser, poor and will never amount to anything you are likely sowing your own seeds of despair. Successful individuals are not afraid to go all in on a decision that they believe will turn out for the better. If you honestly want to get out of your poverty prison you've put yourself in, you're going to have to work for it. One thing to keep in mind when not worrying about money... first start with an internalized drive to want to do better.

Lazy People Do NOT Get RICH!

The very fact you've read this far into this article tells me as a writer that you're hungry for success and all of the benefits that come with it. Even those already considering themselves successful and without cares of money have likely read up to this point as well just to see what my ultimate secret to not worrying about money is. Truth be told I've already told you a good portion of the secret above, if you are merely skimming the article just look at the big headers. One can start to acquire easily simply by making a goal of creating wealth. If you're fortunate enough to be reading this article on a device connected to the internet you're basically already on the right path to becoming rich and maintaining your wealth.

Access to the Internet is Access to Work & Money

You live in an AMAZING time as far as technology goes. Billions of people connected by nearly instant communications all over our entire planet. What most fail to realize and hold true is that not only is the internet a great tool to research and learn new skills, but also a hell of a platform to advertise and sell your products or brand. While I respect the fact that not everyone may readily produce goods or services that are easily apparent to themselves when they first start trying to get out of the grind, please do not discourage yourself. Your million dollar idea will eventually come to you and you will be wealthy, just keep at it!

Maintaining a "winning" mindset and maintaining realistic goals is a must. Spend less time scrolling through mind-rotting social media platforms like facebook and reddit and spend more of your time on the internet bettering yourself as a person. You can literally learn and do ANYTHING you want, make profit on it, enjoy your life and ultimately stop worrying about money simply by applying yourself.

The only thing holding you back is you...

One final thing I should mention is that you can have all of the income in the world but if you spend it frivolously and foolishly on outlandish toys and needless vices you will soon find yourself once again poor and worrying about money. While being able to acquire great wealth is impressive and will give a good person great ability to improve their life, it is not a cure all. Money is merely a tool that could be viewed as a magnifier of people's character.

this is fucking fantastic!!!! I have been searching all freaking day, reading stuff from the new area, the hot area, the trending area and NOTHING, NOT A FUCKING THING HAS MOVED ME IN ANY WAY! Until now. I think I had turned into the fragments of a bullet, like this:

And honestly, passion is the only real reason to be alive! I am really beginning to understand that it is not money that fills our lives, but the expression of raw passion which then can suddenly and unexpectedly light someone else on fire, for a few moments! That person on fire is now me! I feel like i died somewhere after i got back from vacation.......It's not enough to just be coasting, we need to be making others on fire again!

Easy for you to say. You don't have to pay for a new Death Star.

I took a life altering move and decided to attempt to do better. If you accept the fact you are a loser, poor and will never amount to anything you are likely sowing your own seeds of despair.

Very true. A great post but the kind of people who always complain about their situation and never do anything will never get it.

I used to be that sort of person.

Take life by the horns and go with it!

I'm a loser who used to play games and now playing with my life..

Eh, I used to consider myself a loser as well man.

Chin up. Life gets better if you want it bad enough.

Sometimes people just haven't heard the right words on the right day just yet to help them get their butt in gear. :)

If I can inspire even one person with my post it makes it worth while.

YOU INSPIRED ME!

NOW I'M GOING TO UPVOTE MY OWN COMMENT SO PEOPLE CAN SEE HOW YOU INSPIRED ME JUST NOW.

I'm glad! Keep up the good fight Stellabelle. :)

Great post and well said!
You might enjoy this on Flow. Thinkers think, musicians play music, artists create art...regardless. It's just what we/they do.

Imo, I view money (beyond the basics) as convenience/access to options. While it makes these easier, it doesn't solve the "What do I WANT to do" question.

And thanks for the shoutout! :)

"Imo, I view money (beyond the basics) as convenience/access to options."

This is well put in my opinion. People often put limitations on themselves in so many ways that it sort of makes me wonder how narrow minded some think. You have to get out of the box in order to really live. :)

Stop worrying about money? Simple. Become independently wealthy so that the money in the bank generates enough income to live off of. Now you have no worries :-)

I hear you though. If you were born in America there is a 98% chance that you are better off than 95% of people in the world.

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

I was born in Canada.

Which is like America but with more bears and you're like 80% more likely to freeze to death.. :D

Edit: I also do NOT trust banks. Would rather be in control of my money and ride the market swings than go to withdraw one day and any wealth I have be intangible.

True, but the people are so much nicer up there. I'm in FL so I see my fair share of Canadians every winter. Have met some good people, despite them adding to the traffic 3 months a year! :-)

I think Canadians as a whole are a more laid back people than the Americans.
We are very similar a far as the way the most countries perceive us.

Americans do seem to have more "gun-nuts" and religious fanatics than Canada does though.

Goodness that's the truth. My state has about zero guns laws. Show your library card, get a gun..hahahaha

'Murica! o7

Murica.

Not all of Canada is cold. Southwestern BC, especially the Vancouver area, has more in common with San Francisco than the rest of Canada. I can't remember the last time we had more than a dusting of snow in winter. Having lived in both the US and Canada, I can say that Canada is nothing like the US. Our country is far more liberal for one thing. Same sex marriage was legalized over ten years ago and mothers get a year's paid maternity leave. Less paperwork and lower taxes for self-employed creatives in Canada. And for the most part, Canadians are less racist and respect multiculturism whereas Americans prefer the "melting pot" and have this strange belief that the US is the greatest country on earth. This is explained, in part, by the fact that many Americans don't travel outside their borders. According to statistics, only 36% of Americans have passports (compared to 61% of Canadians) which would explain why I rarely came across American students when I was young and travelling through Europe and Asia in the 90s. PS. I don't trust banks either and have always kept my funds in credit unions but as you know, the CIDC insures Canadians' deposits held at Canadian banks (and other member institutions) up to C$100,000 in case of a bank failure. I think the most dangerous factor right now in Canada in regards to finances is the spiraling costs of home ownership. It's especially crazy here in Vancouver.

Unfortunately for a fair chunk of my younger years (mainly due to my own poor decision making at times) I was pretty impoverished and stuck in the praires. I have been as far west as Calgary, it's a totally different feel and vibration out west for sure compared to the praires. I've been out as far as Nova Scotia on the east end of things and first hand seen the Atlantic Ocean.. I'll save that for another post though.

I think Canada as a whole are pretty geniunely laid back people. However that being said we are passionate and you don't want to catch us off on the wrong foot when we've been out sipping maple syrup and playing hockey. :D

I'm glad you don't trust banks. They are truly criminal wizards when it comes to the way they do business and print money out of basically "NOTHING" with their central banking system.

I prefer Bitcoin honestly. It's sort of my gold standard at the moment. Once I get caught up on my debts and get a wee bit more wealth stored away I'm going to try to diversify. It's never good to hold all your eggs in one basket.

<3

thank you for those inspiring words

<3 cheers man.

@klye I'm so glad that you made this post. I value your perspective a lot. Yesterday you were excited about your wallet and now you have almost doubled that number. You have evolved as a writer and while we all enjoy a whale vote, I see you have moved on to creating long lasting valuable content. I'm sure @smooth still appreciates songs/poems, but this is something that will benefit people months from now.

Truly an honor to have you hear and wish you much continued success.

It's funny how normally I would be jealous if I had just joined a site like this and saw that a post I made might make a dollar and another user might make $1,000. But I know that the value you bring here is only going to make steemit more valuable in the long run.

It really doesn't matter if it is you, or I or a new person who makes a lot of money, as long as quality is being rewarded. The people that have not had as much success should take a leaf from your book.

I'm not trying to be critical of your status in any way, but I think you should inspire people who don't think they can blog to go out and try. I'm not the best writer from a grammatical point of view, but I always try to make both posts and comments that are thought out and valuable.

If you and I can be successful, I believe anyone that really grinds and doesn't stop to piss and moan (I guess the occasional piss is needed especially if you drink the recommended amount of water each day). It's not easy work, but this is hands down one of the top ten things to happen to me.

Cheers mate! Hope this breaks the $1K mark and allows you to chase more of your passions

@bendjmiller222 re: comment to @klye
Couldn't resist ! lol plz don't be angry, I'm just having fun !

I'm not the best writer from a grammatical point of view, but I always try to make both posts and comments that are thought out and valuable.
Truly an honor to have you hear and wish you much continued success.

Truly an honor to have you here

lol ! (Very good comment btw !!)

That wasn't intentional lol! But I do know that I spelled (here) wrong and it must have auto-corrected :). I'm glad you caught it!

lol, thanks, I was just having fun !!!!

"If you and I can be successful, I believe anyone that really grinds and doesn't stop to piss and moan"

You said it man. I'm not any sort of special snowflake at the end of the day. Merely a man who's lived to share his stories with others in hopes of helping them achieve their successes.

While not all of my content has been super high kuality and I'll gladly admit that, I do try and bring something that represents myself and my brand to the network. It's mind blowing when it receives such incredible peer review!

Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback and thoughts. As awesome as the monetary and share reward on the steemit platform are I truly enjoy the interaction with people I can here.

We're all pretty darn fortunate to be on here so early.

Exactly! And we owe @ned and @dan and the developers working behind the scenes our gratitude. Steemit would still be awesome with no monetary rewards and simply being a place where great ideas were spread and real discussions had.

The money is secondary to the people / interactions. We are very much on the same page singing the same tune, even if we may not hit all the notes:)

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

While I can't say I 100% agree with everything that is done around here I can honestly say that given the undertaken @ned @dantheman and the rest of Team Steemit I really cannot bash the guys.

A lot of the questions or concerns I have not even I can come up with an answer for yet. It is up to us as a community to voice our concern, opinions and ideas in order to help create the closest to perfect platform we can for future generations to enjoy.

There will never be a perfect program, but it has the chance to be far more well accepted and enjoyed when people can weigh in and have their voices heard. @ned and @dantheman are invested long term in this platform, so it is in their best interest to make the best product possible.

If people were to leave that would not only hurt steemit, but also the dollar amount in their wallets. We have some great minds working out a lot of things here. Never have I seen another crypto that has been so well thought out.

The power to change lies within the individual. There comes a time in everyone's life, when they gotta make a decision... I too have a story of change, I wrote about it here : https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@blockchainbilly/a-humble-start-in-the-big-city

Terrible form posting your link on a man's blog.. But I might have a gander later.

You got balls. I admire that! (For the record I do not admire testicles, it's an expression) ;)

LOL, Sorry I was inspired by ur post. Guess I crossed the etiquette line. Its an old post anyway not looking to get paid or anything, just thought I could relate ...

oh billy, you sir are silly.. :)

I've been homeless and hungry myself, and I've been in the 1% hated so much these days. I've been a 115 lb 17 year old kid picked on by bullies twice my size, and I've been a US Marine and submission fighter. I've destroyed my body on a motocross track and told I shouldn't be able to walk, and yet I'm here living life on my terms and still physically active and doing what I want. All it takes to reach whatever goals you set for yourself, be it reaching the 1%, mastering a skill, or shaving 0.1 seconds of your lap time, all it takes... is a staunch stubbornness to refuse to except anything less. Sooner or later you'll find a way and reach the goal at hand. You'll be whatever you want to be if you want it bad enough

I appreciate you sharing your story man. It does take guts to write about personal things at times but in saying that it also has some thereuputic value to share your story and help others grow as people.

My advice is you write when you have the time man. It may take a handful of articles before you get that one that really takes off for you... But you sound like you've lived as well! Surely someone here other than myself would love to read your tales.

Thanks, no problem. Didn't share too much though. I agree sometimes sharing is therapeutic. My gf asks why I share personal things with people I don't know and thats probably the reason... its good therapy.

Anything in particular you'd like me to cover in an article? I'll write one today.

The last picture in this post reminded me of the Dragon ball radar from Dragon Ball Z.

To be honest I haven't watched a whole heck of alot of DBZ.

I may have to look into getting some of the series when I have access to cheap bandwidth!

:O do it! It was my favorite television show as a child. It will forever be ingrained in my brain.

I understood that the best way to stop worrying about money is to stop being lazy and start to discover and explore your capabilities.

I love your drawings and I love your articles man. There must be an affinity with Canada and Scotland!!

I'm nearly half scotsman by lineage actually... 0_0

Well there you go!

The mention of making 52k/year and being within the top 5% puts things into perspective. Many of us in "wealthier" countries are a lot better off than we realize.

I'm glad you took your adversities and turned them into motivation. Many would have become defeatists in your situation.

I did become a defeatist. A defeatist against my former self.

<3

Thank you for the good post reminding us that success is ours for the taking.

It's there waiting for you to seize it. I highly suggest you do.

Not a matter of not enough for everyone. Just a matter of figuring out how to get everyone what they need and figure out what they enjoy doing.

I don't understand people without drive that refuse to want to work for their shit...until I had a son like that. I still love him unconditionally, though! Great article, drawings and good for you!

Always love your family unconditionally even after you've hated them. You cannot truly hate something unless you've loved it.

I read that far and baaaang ! Now you got me with those lines of a very wise and mature young man. Touché !
( my daughter on my mind )

It can't hurt to get a few $$$ for your wallet :) because you deserve to be rewarded, you should enjoy it. Just don't ever stop singing, dancing and drawing because real happiness comes from your passions in-within.

Being broke can paralyze us but the moment you force yourself to get up and realize you still can move , you know that you can get yourself out of any shit situation. I've done it more than once.
Your story was an honest heart opener for everybody. That's the value what inspires me of even being here around awesome "strangers" like you for that long and I will stay for more.

I'm not particularly old nor particularly young anymore. I did have some falling out with my parents as a younger less understanding KLYE but as they say "Time heals all". While that not might be entirely true for all cases I think with a bit of time, thought and understanding most problems can be dealt with accordingly.

I urge people who are broke, struggling, or hopeless to take damn control of their life. Make something with their life and go for it. At the very worst you fail, but even in failure you will learn and go on to do better and fix your mistakes later on.

Always xx

Upvote to make sure you had some more money not to worry about. LOL

Appreciate the uptuckin' and the humour. :D

Last year I managed to get rid of most of what I owned and headed out into the wilderness to live differently. Most of the time I lived without money and not much of anything to worry about. Came out of the woods for sunlight and water like any other animal. But I had some advantages over some others.

That's pretty incredible. What brought you back?

Very incredible. Was staying with a friend who wanted me to come back. And I planned to as I have friends and family and do enjoy some aspects of both worlds.
But what really brought me back is that I got Meningitis last year while visiting my friend. My journey changed my life. Now Meningitis has changed my life that much more.
Overall very incredible the change of mind and being that I have come to.

You can live without fiat for sure in some circumstances.
Those stuck in the city often fear the wild though.. :/

And those in the wild fear the city..
Yes, but there is nothing to fear but fear itself. And maybe some big and small furry or not so furry animals. One has to be careful. :)

Awesome post Kyle, so glad things are looking up for you onwards and upwards. And thank you for all your posts they never fail to brighten my day.

Thanks for the good thoughts and feelings phoenixmaid. :)

I can relate to this. It was such a struggle before but when you set your mind to it, and get off your lazy ass, you can get things done! People have money and if they don't see you making moves or see what you are/have accomplished, they won't do business with you. I like your headline " Access to the internet is access to work & money."

I'm glad you were able to break free from the monotonous life that so many struggle with and were able to get up and go and get things done. You are correct, people like to associate with people that are on the move and active!

The internet is taken for granted by so many. If you have time to like memes on lesser social networks you have time to make a difference in not only your own world but others as well.

I just got done reading the introductory book for a spiritual life coaching certification course I've been considering taking. It talked about a lot of cool things, but one of its key points about money and the law of attraction is that the law of attraction only works if YOU work. The rule for creating wealth is thought-word-action. You think it, speak it out loud, then DO it. The first two parts don't work without the third. You need all three to be successful and attract wealth.

I think this post sums up that premise nicely. :)

Thanks man. I do admit I take some of the law of attraction ideal into this with me.

However I don't believe that "you think good things and they happen".. You have to do SOMETHING for it to get better.

Exactly. You have to set your intention, commit to it, then do something toward making it happen. Call it the law of attraction, or just common sense, but it's the only way to achieve your goals and dreams.

People need to stop being so selfish and all agree that NO ONE should fall below a certain line when it comes to food, health, warmth and water.

So many say "nothing in life is free" not everyone makes money by moving heavy shit from point A to point B but that does not mean they do not work.

I feel people forget what house wives and house husbands actually have to do. I'd do a nine to five any day of the week than do that shit! They are underrated hero's ! Until we start taking from the top down people will always be poor in some respect. Even if that is only morally.

I believe people will have ups and downs in their life but most of the time they are self implicated.

Unfortunately I cannot speak for all people, but I can share what I have lived in hopes of bettering others lives.

Now I'm worried that i'm worrying about money too much! Thanks for the good read!

No need to worry about worrying!

Just wake up and want to be successful! Then take steps to do so!

Hey thanks for posting this. It was very inspiring for me. I often get distracted on the internet with things that do not expand me. Also used to be scattered with all my project i want to accomplish.

It can be very difficult to stay on task when you have what seems like an endless list of projects to get done.

As long as you set realistic expectations you will easily achieve what you need to in due time.

Empowering stuff kyle! The only thing i like more than kyle's writing is kyle's artwork! :)

I don't consider myself a strong writer by any means.

My spelling and grammar could use some work, but like everything I do I'm constantly learning and evolving with it.

nice post i enjoy reading this.

Thanks for the feedback man!

You're awesome Klye! Take my upvotes!

Cheers kevinwong! Thank you for your continued support sir!

Your Paint drawings makes this post just much more beautiful.

Thank you for appreciating the doodles! I do have fun drawing them.

They are good, authentic, so much better than "free to use images", which by the way also take so long to load.

I'm on very limited bandwidth. I pay around $85 CAD a month for 50GB shared between 3-4 people.. Needless to say it's a hassle for someone like me who makes a living on the web.

DUDE! This was awesome!!! I always enjoy the Klyeart!!!

Success is a mind set. Grit is the daily work on how you get there.

You are kicking butt here, and inspiring many people from all over the world dude!! THAT'S SO COOL!!

Keep up the great work and have a great day/night!!!

YEAH BUDDAYYY!!!

-bigedude

I'll try to keep posting great content with just the right amount of art to keep people interested. :)

Wow first page! You go brother!

I honestly expected $1 SBD from this post. The response it's gotten I did not anticipate in the least!

Thanks man for the support.

@klye you did get "$1 SBD from this post"! Just a few times over!
Great job and keep living, loving, & steem-ing on! :D

Good info and good links as well.
Thanks klye

I really enjoyed this post! I've found achieving prosperity is definitely equal parts of mindset and perspective. If you live your life with the constant thought that life is a struggle then chances are this is exactly the life experience you will have.

What an inspiring article and at exactly the right time. I have had a beast of a time at my job ( failed a big financial exam by 2 point...ugh). I have been feeling deflated and worried that I will never reach my goals, no matter how many times I try, fall flat, try and fall flat again. It is exhausting. I agree that money is not everything, yet it is a necessary evil. I just want my own little townhome & not sweating when bills come in the mail. This week has been the week of trying o find new ways of just reinventing myself and saying goodbye to negative people and get away from bad places. It is a road but I hope to have it in motion. I needed a positive story as yours @kyle. I thank you so much for reminding me that it's not just money, but I am trying to look at the whole picture. Have a glorious day :-)

Really love your 'Tude Dude ! I have been homeless, but I never said that. I always said I was camping out. It may seem like it's a moot point, but I'm just saying it's an attitude .. Either a way of life (That sadly, so many embrace) OR a transitional period (temporary sleeping arrangement) ...

Great post ! +1 & now following ! Thank you for your contributions & dedication !
Read More, Reason More ... JTS

Fantastic post bro! Looking forward to more such work from you! Thank you for sharing your story! It was inspiring!

im inspired

Awesome article. Just free your mind and act. If you don't move you will never make your dreams a reality. So simple!!

These same lessons are a reoccuring theme in my life right now. I get discouraged at times but ultimately I KNOW I can do it if I work at it. I am dedicated to becoming a stay-at-home-mom-working-on-the-computer-researching-and-writing-what-I-love. :)

You are literally everywhere in the Crypto world.

Access to the Internet is Access to Work & Money

That's right - worldwide!
NomadList - community of digital nomads
RemoteOK - excellent aggregator of remote jobs

why did you flag my post @zrc?

Your illustrations is speaking for themselves even more than text - that's the true "do-what-you-like".
However, happiness - is to love what you do, not do what you love.
Or maybe not:)

Hard to say really. Varying degrees of want and love have existed in my life.

I think I have the right platform now to express myself without sounding completely nuts. :)

Right? Goes from doodling on MS paint for lulz and goes on to post awesome and entertaining articles with them peppered in for $$$. :) Enjoying his path to success!

Its almost been a year into not having a formal job and I'm struggling to keep my head afloat. I find this extremely inspiring. Within this time I have doubted myself a great amount because of unaccomplished goals and lack of money. My eyes are opened and I need to get my ass in gear if I want to ever be my own boss and be self-sustaining. "Maintaining a "winning" mindset and maintaining realistic goals is a must." Mindset is definitely important for the upcoming entrepreneurs. We can do it! Anything! Small reachable goals will eventually lead you to the place you've always wanted to be. Indeed one must apply oneself to accomplish anything. Awesome Article :) Positive mind power!! haha

Klye man, I simply love it how your story undoubtly shows all the whiners out there that Steemit is working!

I admire it how engaged you are, replying to every comment and adding a personal touch in every post through klyeart. Been a klyeart fan from day one and will remain fo' life! #klyewhale

I try and practice what I preach.

Part of being successful on steemit is being more than just some dude who creates content.
You have to support what you make and the people that support you, just the way it is! (or should be)
