1. Rich people don’t see selfishness as a bad quality.

Most people believe that the only way to save the world and help others is by sacrificing your own interests.

Rich people prove the opposite: if you don’t help yourself in the beginning, then you won’t be of any use.

2. Rich people are always ready for action.

You will never see a rich person buying a lottery ticket (even before he became rich). Most people are always waiting for something or someone — the lottery, the government, a friend, a husband or wife — to help them get rich. Rich people always act on their own.

3. Rich people prefer knowledge gained through experience over formal education.

Most people believe that higher education plays an important role in acquiring wealth. Rich people understand that life can teach much more than a few years of university.

4. Rich people dream about the future.

Wealthy people think a lot about the future, set goals, and solve problems in the present. Most people very often “fixate” on the past, which does not give them the opportunity to move on.

5. Rich people think rationally.

Even highly educated people can fall into the “emotional money trap.” Wealthy people view money as a tool that provides opportunities for development and growth.

6. Rich people follow their dreams.

Oprah Winfrey once said that to become rich, you must follow your dreams and desires. Rich people do what they love and find a way to get paid for it. Most people don’t like their job.

7. Rich people set “high standards”

Most people don’t expect high results to avoid disappointment, while wealthy people set themselves challenging goals and follow their dreams.

8. Wealthy people believe that you need to “be” someone.

Most people, on the contrary, believe that in order to become rich, you need to do “something” and it is desirable to get the result in a short time. Wealthy people continually educate themselves and benefit from their mistakes and failures.

9. Rich people use other people’s money.

Most people believe that in order to “make” money, you need to have enough own funds. While rich people cleverly manage other people’s money.

10. Rich people live beyond their means.

And not in the way you think. It can be said that they live “below” their means. They know how to spend money wisely and stay within budget. They know how to save. Unlike most people, who are just the same and “live beyond their means.”

11. Rich people teach their kids how to be rich.

Most people teach their children how to survive, while rich people show their children the difference between rich and poor.

12. Rich people don’t let money control them.

Most people allow. Wealthy people find peace in wealth and are not afraid to admit that money can solve a lot of problems, which allows them to make even more money. Most people consider money to be an evil that you have to constantly fight against.

13. Rich people prefer education to entertainment.

Most people are the opposite. They read novels, tabloids, and other types of entertainment instead of self-education.

14. Rich people surround themselves with successful people like themselves.

Most people think of the rich as arrogant snobs. Rich people do not pay attention to such statements, which adds more fuel to the fire. In fact, rich people are highly educated, well-read, and very interesting conversationalists.

15. Rich people focus on income.

Most people are constantly saving and missing out on good opportunities while trying to live frugally. Rich people see more and strive to earn more money.
