Stop Negotiating With Yourself. Yes. You. "Many people negotiate too much with themselves. Rather than going after their dreams, they construct a medley of reasons why they shouldn't have what they deserve."

My Biology teacher wrote this in my graduation hat:

"Don't always look before you jump"

No one deserves anything... but you're right if you make excuses you'll get nothing

Some people don't have $30,000. That's the security what gives people analysis paralysis.

But where do you draw the line between wanting what you deserve and having an undeserved sense of entitlement?

I am always of the mindset that I deserve nothing. Why should I? I haven't really done a whole lot with my life. hell, I haven't even really gotten past the tutorials yet (still in college). So who's to say what I deserve?

From my point of view, I've earned nothing, and I don't deserve any girl. Especially with my looks, personality, interests, etc.

What do savvy people do instead? They walk in and say, “Want to sell me that car? I’ll give you $30,000 right now. Deal?” What’s the worst that could happen? The salesperson might laugh and escort you out.

I work in auto finance and I assure you this would never happen. With that high of a percentage of the car paid off in cash, the dealership would try to make it work somehow - likely with a few different loan options. Though they probably wouldn't take the $15,000 cut.

You deserve nothing, you earn everything...

Me: So basically you're telling me that revenge is the answer. Okay! :D
