Well, if you can't change anything about your current spending and lifestyle, then you are doomed to be poor unless you get a raise or 2nd job and keep your lifestyle exactly at its current level.
It is very easy to say "I am not going to stop spending money taking my wife out to dinner on the weekends" when you would actually probably be more appreciated for learning how to prepare a elegant but inexpensive dinner at home without her help for a few of those weekends. If you choose to instead take the easy way out and dine out every weekend then you have nobody to blame for being poor but yourself. People like that blaming rich people for being rich really tick me off.
