MONEY TALKS: 5 Questions to Ask Yourself When You're Broke

Published on August 19, 2019

Have you ever been broke? If so, you're not alone. Being broke is a natural part of life, and it's how you respond to it that matters. Instead of whining or blaming others, take control of your situation by asking yourself these five questions.

According to Bett Kinyatti, being broke is not a terrible thing. In fact, it can be a powerful opportunity for growth and self-reflection. By asking yourself these questions, you can identify your strengths and weaknesses, and develop a plan to overcome your obstacles and achieve your goals.

The five questions to ask yourself are:

  • What's my desired situation?
  • What's my present situation?
  • What do I have 100 per cent control over?
  • What are my obstacles?
  • What are my sources of help?

Take a few minutes to write each question on a card and place them on the floor. Stand on each card and speak your desires, present situation, control centre, obstacles, and sources of help out loud. This exercise will help you clarify your thoughts and gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

Remember, being broke is not a permanent state. It's a temporary setback that can be overcome with the right mindset and strategy. By asking yourself these five questions, you can take control of your situation and start building a brighter future.
