Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, But he who gathers by labor will increase.
- Proverbs 13:11 (NKJV)
Get rich quick schemes have been around for decades.
Pyramid (or Ponzi, named after the most notorious scheme in the 1920’s) schemes have been around since 1860’s, believe it or not and sadly they are still gong strong.
Listen, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If you are trying to sell a couch on Facebook Marketplace for $100 and someone offers to send you a check for $3,000 telling you to cash it and keep enough to cover the cost of the couch plus shipping and send them a money order for the balance (like $2500). The check they sent you is bogus, but it takes a couple of days to be denied by the bank, while the money order you sent them is completely real, and you're out $2500.
Scammers are everywhere, it feels like no one is safe.
If you click a link suddenly these people have access to your cell phone, your computer your bank accounts, all the stuff – all the stuff.
There is no legitimate way to earn money without effort, and short-lived success is just that – short lived.
Work hard for your money and when you earn it, spend wisely, and save accordingly.
Sure, we all want what everyone else has, but I promise we appreciate it more when we acquire our wealth honestly.
