GENEROSITY: You're Fired!
What would it look like for me to give in such a way that it changes me?
HOW to be generous
Everyone gives. Everyone is not generous.
Generosity is not random acts of giving
The financially generous give more, save more and consume less

The life ordered around generosity is happier
What we do with our money dictates where our hearts are and go
Generosity:
The premeditated, calculated, designated emancipation of financial assets

“If it comes to me, then it is for me
Result of consumer living:
Debt and no financial margin

How much more money would it take to break the habit of spending more than you make?

A self-control issue, not an income issue

Consumption assumption: If it comes to me, it is for me
Those with the consumption assumption are greedy

Yes, the greedy still give...
Transform from being a consumer to one who is generous.

Rich people are rich. Generous people are generous. There is no correlation between the two
Who will get what you prepared for yourself? SOMEBODY ELSE

Generous people don't assume all is for them to consume
