When things are tight financially, it's easy to look at all the things you want and simply say, "I can't afford that." However, turning that statement into a question can change the way you think about your personal finances for the better.

Saying, “I can’t afford it,” can trap you in a vicious cycle where you can never afford anything you want. That’s why Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, suggests changing “I can’t afford it” to “How can I afford it?” Kiyosaki explains:
One lets you go free, and the other forces you to think. Automatically saying the words "I can't afford it" stops your brain from working. Asking the question "How can I afford it?" gets your brain working.
Kiyosaki also notes that saying “I can’t afford it” creates negative feelings like sadness and helplessness. However, when you turn that into a question, it creates possibilities and that allows for positive feelings like excitement. All you want now is a call to action, not an unattainable goal. In essence, it’s the foundation for a total change in your thinking. Stop thinking of your current financial state as permanent and start thinking of ways you can change your current methods and afford the things you want. You have to start somewhere, right?
