I am pretty sure at some point everyone has said something like that quote above. We all have tried to turn around something in our lives for the better.

6 More Reasons Why You Are Broke
In my previous article, Why You Are Broke, I listed reasons why many people live paycheck to paycheck. After some positive feedback, I decided to create another list which digs deeper into why you are low on funds all the time assuming you have a steady income. These reasons go beyond the normal reasons you read and hear about. These reasons do not include how much money you make because that’s not the problem.

Do You Play the Blame Game? Look in the Mirror
Many people want to look at others successes and failures and critique them. At the same time, they are the same ones who complain about their own situations. I cannot stand that one bit!
What I don’t get is they are so busy wasting time looking at others situation they don’t handle their own with as much effort. I always believed you are where you are because of you and no one else.
There may have been influences to steer you in certain directions in life, but still no one is to blame but you. At the same time when success fulfills your life, you are the one who earned it. An opportunity can slap you right in the face and if you are not looking for it, a chance to change your life can fly right by you.
