As a businessman or salary earners here are tips on how to stay poor in life. 
1. Spending your money on unnecessary items immediately the money arrives. Trying to prove a point to people by living a standard that is above your pay grade.
2. Live on one source of income. Everyday of our life our responsibilities and challenges keeps piling up accumulating without consideration to our financial capability. The economy and cost of living continue getting worsen. So in order not to be able to beat this piling settle comfortably on a single source of income flow.
3. Become an extremely cheerful giver/lender to friends and family. A wisdom quote I read somewhere said, "if you want to lose your friends and family lend them money". Keeping doing this and you going to be successfully poor.
4.Learn how not to mind your own business, making every events around you your concern even when it doesn't affect you. It's a nice way to make cool enemies. Etc.
I trust you all get the sarcasm as conveyed.
Lida93 you are mind-blowing, seriously you give the tips how to become poor, I saw many mentors who gave the path to becoming rich but I saw the first who told about the reverse route. But I think you are a great motivational speaker so let me explain. Every motivational speaker has their own way to convincing their audience but you are so unique. you are also telling people how to rich but in a different way. If the people you are saying are intelligent they will take the message from your point by changing it, like all you say is true but if someone wants to be rich then he needs to go against all these points and yes he will be no more poor. But one thing I can add here is that people are not born poor by their choice but remain poor are their choice so change your choices and your standards.1.
