Get Rich Quick Schemes – Do YOU keep paying the”Stupid Tax?”

Those “get rich quick” merchants who try hard to separate you from your money have an important role.

They collect the “Stupid Tax”.

Some people pay this tax forever.
And others “wake up”, learn how to identify it, and stop paying it.

I’d like to share this article with you.
The Role of Get-Rich Quick Merchants | Psychotactics Zingers

It’s by Sean D’Souza, who writes down to earth, commonsense, and inspiring things.
(He’s a great cartoonist too!)

These are a some of Sean’s rules for success:
- I started avoiding anything ‘instant.’
- I started avoiding anything that offered ‘tsunamis of customers’
- I started avoiding anything that had fancy cars, surfboards, planes, jets, boats.
- I started avoiding anything with graphics of cheque books and bank balances.

He also lives in New Zealand, but I won’t hold that against him

cheers,
Eric G.
