Not long ago, I came across a survey in which people were asked how much cash they had on them right now.

Twenty percent of those responding to this survey said they had less than $5.00 in cash on them even if they counted the coins they were carrying.

Another forty percent of those responding to this survey said they had less than $20.00 in cash on them, a few singles and maybe a $5.00 or $10.00 bill.

In other words...

A whopping sixty percent of this survey's respondents said they had less than $20.00 in cash on them with a third of them saying they had less than $5.00 in cash on them!

Out of the remaining forty percent of those responding to this survey...

Twenty-five-percent of those responding to this survey said they probably had $40.00 or more in cash on them, but no more than $100.00 in cash on them, leaving only fifteen percent of those responding to this survey who said they had over $100.00 in cash on them.

Now...

I don't know how representative of the general population the results of this survey are, but similar surveys I've seen (one in which 80% of the respondents said they had less than $20.00 in cash on them) and my own personal experience lead me to believe this survey's results are a fairly accurate representation of the general population.

However...

I do know this...

If you want financial abundance and prosperity in your life, it's absolutely essential for you to "feel" financially abundant and prosperous right now.

And...

Quite frankly...

Although I'm not generally one for "crutches" or "props" to shore up mental attitudes, I can tell you from personal experience, it's real difficult to feel financially abundant and prosperous when you're constantly walking around broke.

It's even more difficult to feel financially abundant and prosperous if every single time you're standing in the checkout line of a store waiting to pay for your purchases, you're busy mentally adding up your purchases and worrying about whether or not you have enough money on you to buy what you want...

And...

Even worse...

Worrying about all the embarrassing consequences you'll experience if you don't have enough money on you to buy what your want.

So...

My advice is...

Always carry heavy!

Take the next few hundred dollars you earn and put it in your pocket, not the bank.

It'll feel much better in your pocket than it will in the bank and it'll help you develop and maintain the state of mind that's absolutely necessary for you to attract financial abundance and prosperity into your life.

But...

That's not all it'll do...

In an article he once wrote, titled "The Constructive Attitude", Wallace D. Wattles, best known for his classic masterpiece "The Science of Getting Rich", advised his readers to:

"... provide a surplus, so that you may take advantage of any new opportunity..."

If you "provide a surplus" to take advantage of new financial opportunities, guess what'll happen?

That's right...

New financial opportunities will come your way and you'll be prepared to take advantage of them!
