The scarcity mentality

Often people get upset when I bought something I could have obtained for free , like a book, music, a software or a movie. This is irritating and I just found a ready to use answer that I will use if this occur again.
“Do not worry, I feel good about all the money I spend , I give generously to myself , money is working for me”

I will say that or variations of it, now, this may possibly make my interlocutor enter in a rage state, because, I push on the button and I say “OK, I do not play with you with the mass belief of scarcity”
Scarcity is something I do not believe, who understand the nature of reality also understand that scarcity is an illusion. What I believe is that I can create something out of nothing. What I focus on with strong intensity and persistence, I believe I will get. I believe in turning what I want to do in what I have done.
It will do no good to anyone to one hand try to create abundance and on the other hand keep the scarcity mentality alive within yourself if you have it. Often, what people try to get for free are often things they do not need, like my cousin bragging about having 21,000 songs on her computer, she certainly likes music but I’m sure rather than songs, she would benefit a lot more from taking care of her “education”.
One of my friend got a Blackberry mobilphone for free, but, he even doesn’t use it. May be, he would have used it, if he had work for it ?

When you spend money you increase to someone else wealth, I bought a program to edit, cut and tag , mp3 files for $50, this program can easily be found on most files sharing network. So yes, I spent, the people working at that company got some money I got their program, why people are hostiles at the ideas to spend money to increase someone else wealth, because of the belief in scarcity.
They believe the pie is small and there isn’t enough for everyone.
This is a great symbol by refusing to make someone else more wealthy by buying his good or service you are also denying wealth to yourself. What you do to others, you do it to yourself as well. Now, I’m not saying that you should pay for everything, you could pay for everything and still have a strong feeling of scarcity that prevent you to increase your wealth.
If you get something for free do not get it out of a scarcity mentality because you are more likely to stay there.
If you pay something do not feel it is a loss of money and that your supply is decreasing. If you keep the focus on what you want you will do just fine.
It is very difficult to create wealth with a strong inner feeling of scarcity. If you have scarcity in your thoughts pattern it will be beneficial to stop feeding that. Try the Mercedes-benz mentality for a week.
