How to Get Something You Can’t Afford

How do you not buy something you can’t afford (right at the moment, anyway), but not send out negative vibes that you have no money, therefore repel money?
And here’s our answer (please watch and leave your comments below)…

I once wanted a Jaguar XKE convertible. This was back in the early 60′s; I was not too flush with cash. I visualized driving that car. The very IDEA was a nearly spiritual experience. It became my passion. I lived it. I possessed the car in my mind and in my spirit. It became an extension of my own essence.
Then, voila’…I mustered up the courage to go the the Jag dealer in beautiful, downtown Birmingham; Foreign Car Center. I boldly asked for a test drive and was rewarded with the keys to a British Racing Green XKE convertible.
I casually strolled out to the parking lot, walked around the car, taking it all in. The sun was high in a flawless blue sky, temperature was hovering around 90 degrees; my heart was in my throat.
I opened the door, slid my eager butt into the glove leather seat behind the wheel, inserted the key into the ignition, depressed the clutch, and cranked up that twin-cam 3.5 liter engine, which rumbled to life with a sound that mesmerized me.
Closing the door, I slipped the gearshift into reverse and eased out of the parking space. I motored carefully out of the lot and into traffic.
The dream proceeded to evaporate.
That was the worst performing vehicle I’d EVER driven. Nothing I had imagined was even CLOSE to that bad. It was a HOG. A SWINE.
I went four blocks and pulled back into the parking lot on the other end from where I’d exited onto the street, drove back to the same parking spot, switched off, and dismounted.
As I handed the keys back to the salesman I observed his expression, which was expectant.
How’dja like THAT? he asked, all enthusiastic.
I know now why I don’t own one, I said. It’s beauty is only skin deep, isn’t it?
This appears to be a crazy endeavor and I like the general premise of it. Some of these people you have lined up I have studied, followed, and even purchased a few things from.
Good luck to you on this new approach.
I just love the simple everyday approach you use to answer questions some people don’t even want to ask. Thank You for this tip I will try to use this approach more often. It really is a much more positive perspective and we all need as much positive in our everyday lives as possible.
I never use the word cant. What I say and feel is that I choose not to spend the money at this time. That puts the power back into my hands
Hi Fred,
Strangely enough, the car I see myself driving around is a 1960 xk150. That’s the year I was born. After careful inspection of a few hundred internet postings, it has come to my attention that a ’58 XK-120 is a better built, and more reliable car. So yes I understand about Jags… and that many fantasies aren’t as fabulous as the real thing. But I’m willing to adapt mine, like you have. I want a Jag like the one in the picture, but if it’s not as great as I want it to be, I’ll easily shift my focus to something equally fantastic.
Hi Steve and Sue,
a great video by the way, just like many other people (gurus) who discuss and profess knowledge of how to manifest things in our lives, you missed out the real key ingredient. The real answer is a mixture of your video reply, and creating the means to obtain what you most desire; it is simply not true to say that you can picture what you want, and picture yourself with that which you desire, if quite simply you do not have the means to obtain it; this will only result in shattered dreams. Once one enters into this state of mind, the whole process becomes negative, and then the negative thoughts start, and those negativities are manifested.
To truly achieve your dreams you must have a plan a process to which you must follow, and what you truly desire will be created and you will receive it.
Ask! Receive! and Believing is a small component of the Law of attraction.

What’s funny is that originally many of us do think about the lack. However, you can think, “I can’t afford it” or “I wonder what I can do in order to get what I want.” Many times, it’s not the destination but the journey that makes it even more exciting. If you cannot enjoy the destination then at least have some fun on the journey.
For example, instead of thinking “I can’t afford to retire right now,” think to yourself “What can I do in order to be able to retire soon?” Then go for it! It might be tough at first, but who knows what sort of interesting stuff will come along. You might start a new business or learn a new set of skills that you enjoy. You might meet some awesome people or discover something about yourself. Or, even as Fred mentioned, you may end up realizing that you’re better off without it.
If you can’t have it now, then enjoy the ride while you go for the gold
You can do anything you set your mind to,this seems to be a fact that you are in tune with and I just say this to your readers to enforce your message-never let someone tell you that you can’t do something because you can!
All The Best,
Jason
Hi Paul, thanks for commenting. You feel like we missed out the real key ingredient? Well you may be right, and likely are for you, if you were doing what we are doing. You see that’s the thing… most people assume their beliefs are true, and that they also apply to other people. But everything I’m learning tells me that my beliefs only worked for me, and yours only work for you. We have somethings in common, for sure, but we need to CREATE our own willpower and beliefs. When I listen to the people I learn from, I often hear them say that “how” is not important. i notice them saying “why” is important. But what I notice doesn’t need to be what you notice at all. We’re not trying to be gurus at all. We’re making our own lives better by being willing to declare our intentions, and showing them to the world. We don’t know HOW we’re going to become multi-millionaires, but I am absolutely %100 positive that it’s happening. I also feel positive that it will happen from multiple income streams… and we won’t be in control of all of them. Hence, how.. will be taken care of by the universe to a degree.
I don’t expect or even ask you to believe me, but I d dog double dare you to keep watching, and witness how it all comes together.
Hi Ms May,
Lots of people miss out on the fun and personal growth of the journey, n theway to the destination. I missed it for years… decades. But I’m in it now for the NOWness.
