1.  Temperance: Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2.  Order: Let all your things have their places; let each part of
your business have its time.
3.  Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought; perform
without fail what you resolve.
4.  Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or
yourself; i.e., waste nothing.


6.  Moderation: Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so
much as you think they deserve.
7.  Industry: Lose no time; be always employed in something
useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
8.  Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or
habitation.
9.  Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents
common or unavoidable.

9.  Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid
trifling conversation.
10.  Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly,
and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
11.  Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits
that are your duty.
12.  Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never
to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's
peace or reputation.
13.  Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

MONEY THE MIDDLE CLASS vS. THE RICH

“Individuals in the middle class accumulate more debt as they
become more successful. A pay raise qualifies them to borrow
more money from the bank so they can buy personal items like
bigger cars, vacation homes, boats, and motor homes. Their wage
income comes in and is spent on current expenses and ONLY then on
paying off their personal debt. SO As their income increases, so
does their personal debt. This is what we call the rat race.”

- Robert kiyosaki

MONEY THE MIDDLE CLASS vS. THE RICH

“The rich have their assets work for them.
They have gained control over their
expenses (by saving and investing money
each month) and focus on acquiring or
building assets. Their businesses pay more
of their expenses, and they have few, if
any, personal liabilities.”
- Robert kiyosaki
