How to Stay Poor
Avoiding Success Like a Pro—One Poor Decision at a Time
 
Most books teach you how to get rich. This one? It teaches you how to stay broke—brilliantly.
But here’s the twist: Every “stay poor” strategy inside this book is also a hidden lesson in what it really takes to break free. By the time you finish laughing, cringing, and shaking your head, you’ll have reverse-engineered the clearest roadmap to wealth, growth, and freedom you’ve ever seen.
 
In this razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud satire, Belguin Prosper Lumu flips the script on traditional success literature. In this book, you’ll discover 21 foolproof ways to sabotage your future without even realizing it. You’ll meet characters who have mastered the art of going nowhere fast—and you may just see a reflection of yourself in their stories. Instead of telling you how to get rich, Prosper hands you the secret manual for guaranteed poverty—complete with time-tested “strategies” like:
 
Sleeping like the world owes you a wake-up call
Spending money you don’t have (because debt is the new designer)
Letting social media influencers manage your finances
Perfecting the art of excuses while avoiding anything that smells like growth
 
In this book, Prosper exposes the mindsets, habits, and everyday choices that keep people chained to mediocrity. It’s satire, yes—but it’s also a mirror. And you might not like what you see. Each chapter is a mirror wrapped in humor, showing you the habits, mindsets, and tiny daily decisions that quietly drain your potential. You’ll laugh, cringe, and—if you’re honest—recognize yourself in more than a few pages.
 
Whether you’re buying it for yourself, gifting it to a friend who “needs a hint,” or just looking for a brutally funny, painfully true read, How to Stay Poor is the book that will have everyone talking.
 
It’s the financial wake-up call disguised as a comedy.
Read it. Laugh at it. Learn from it. And for goodness’ sake—don’t follow it.
