Self Improvement : Rich Man Mentality vs Poor Man Mentality

 

I am investing in myself. I am learning and have grown so much in the past while I can't believe the difference in myself. I know that I want to have a rich man's mentality. My spouse has a poor man's mentality. We are struggling to be able to communicate on financial matters because we are coming from opposite view points. My spouse thinks bankruptcy is our only option, which if we only work for money it may be. I am learning that having money work for us is truly a better way. Any suggestions to keep the communication open without be drug down into the old "work for money" mentality. Struggling some days to keep above that without the negativity!

Any suggestions?

There are 3 levels of discussion, In my opinion,
 
 The Basic Level=Rich & Poor, Money work for you, Work for money
 * The Fact : Everybody is speaking about this, to be rich and money work for us *
 * Level : Easy to talk
 
 Second Level=Switching Left side of Cashflow Quadrant to the right side of Cashflow Quadrant
 * The Fact : Everybody has their own Quadrant, but unfamiliar with the other quadrant.
 * Level : Difficult to switch, Emotional feelings
 
 Third Level

"B" Quadrant = System + People (people's time),

"I" Quadrant = Win + Loss game (people's money)
 * The Fact : Most of us has not reach this level yet. Do we still day dreaming?
 * Level : Hard to reach
 
 I don't think being an "I" quadrant is easy, as the RICH DAD strictly ask tough question to Robert Kiyosaki and furthermore Robert Kiyosaki requires a mentor side by side.
 
 Well, esimmons, it's nice that you are motivated, however, action and proof speak louder than words. You may encourage your spouse to learn with you once you have the ideas on your actions. Which level are you at? By the way, does your spouse involve at the same natures as yours?
