You're Broke Because You Want to Be Quotes

“Stop being a victim! No one else is to blame for your situation. Broke didn’t sneak up on you in the night. A stack of unpaid bills didn’t show up while you weren’t looking.

When you do, you’ll find that taking credit for your successes feels a lot better than blaming others for your failures.”
