Law Of Financial Momentum Revisited

How The Rich Get Richer And Why The Poor Get Poorer

Yes, I showed up late to my own party! On occasion I have to admit to being human. Holidays and family duties being what they are, I allowed myself to publish late this week.

Since we are starting a new year I thought I would revisit my first newsletter article topic. Below is a short excerpt from a book I’m writing on The Law Of Financial Momentum. At the end of this article you will find a link back to that first newsletter article from September 21, 2023 to continue the topic.

“The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.”

I’ve heard that old saying my entire life. Most often it was being spoken by my mother. She, like most people recited that saying when complaining about her current financial situation and was looking for someone to blame for her misery. That saying has been used and abused for decades and its use is showing no sign of slowing.

Who Do We Blame?

It’s always been the popular practice to blame the rich for the failures of the middle and lower classes. Studies have shown nearly two thirds of adult Americans attribute rich people’s success to them having more advantages than anyone else. Not because they might have worked harder, and not because they created something that solved a problem for millions of people.

What my mother was unknowingly doing when I was a child was planting the seeds of negativity in my subconscious programming. She was the beginning of a long line of influential people in my life that unknowingly sabotaged the mindset of a child. I’m talking about parents, other family members, teachers, friends and other influential people in my life.

It’s probably happened in your life as well. It was not malicious. They thought they were doing the right thing because it was done to them all their lives. They were trapped in that mindset and it was normal to them. In their minds it was the way the world worked. But why?

Why blame everything but the real cause? This scenario has played out time and again throughout the lives of millions of people who have grown up and become trapped in a middle class existence of financial bondage and at best sluggish financial momentum.

Is It True?

First of all, is the statement even true? Do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. In general, yes. The statement is true.

Does anyone actually know the real reason why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? To most people it was nothing more than a convenient excuse for not being as successful as they desired. But to those who have achieved success, those who have accumulated great riches and built their wealth it is well known. They might not realize that they know, but they put it into practice every day. It is an obvious secret. Deep down inside you already know this secret. But most don’t realize they know it. I believe the time has come for everyone to know how the rich get richer and why the poor get poorer.

If you are rich, this is why. If you are poor, this is why. You must be in control of your financial momentum. If you do not control it, it WILL control you…

Buying Or Selling A Business- The First Obstacle December 12, 2025 Whether you are buying or selling a business there is one obstacle to overcome. It’s on the seller to remove that obstacle but it’s up to the buyer to do their due diligence and make sure it’s done right. If it’s not, there should be no deal. At least no deal in it’s original proposed form. I’m talking about the business’s financials and bookkeeping. You Are Driving Down The Value I’ve seen this problem so many times when...

Holiday Overload - It's Coming! December 5, 2025 Created using ojoy.ai Here it comes- Holiday Overload! Every year it happens. Stress over everything goes through the roof. Buying the right gifts. Do we go to the kid’s house or do they come here for Christmas? Or do we just stay home and have Christmas alone, just the two of us? What do we cook for dinner? Everyone expects certain holiday foods. Turkey, ham, cranberry sauce, stuffing(yech!), etc. One year we cooked enchiladas for...

The Thanks-Giving Mindset November 29, 2025 Thanksgiving- The forgotten holiday. It comes between two of the most commercially hyped holidays, Halloween, and Christmas, and has been attached to Black Friday, a non-holiday shopping event. And for all three of these holidays the meaning is largely ignored. I didn’t want to just write the usual obligatory holiday article so I’ve decided make this about mindset. I intentionally made it two words because it's not really about the holiday. It's...
