Avoid the television trap

Rich people watch less than one hours to television per day. Poor people watch five to eight hours of television per day, only going to bed when they are too tired to watch and then get up and turn the television on to start the day.

Television can be a wonderful slave but a terrible master. Your television can make you rich or make you poor. It will make you rich if you leave if off most of the time. It will make you poor if you sit watch it hour after hour.

A recent study found that as people became wealthier and wealthier, they became to move their television set farther and farther from the center of family activity. The wealthiest people actually set up a television room, a place where they have to get up, go down the hall and get themselves seated to watch televising in the first place. They make it as difficult as possible to watch television, including getting rid of their television sets completely.
