RE: 7 Things Poor People Do (That The Rich Don't)

in #money7 years ago

I'm at a loss at what to say about this post. You seem to think that rich people deserve to be rich & poor deserve to be poor simply due to thier mentality or decisions they make. Absolutely ridiculous. Most rich people are either lucky or got money from thier parents but they like to think they earned it all & deserve it & are better than poor people. That is absolute bullshit. Donald Trump is a prime example of someone who talks about what a great businessman he is yet he would be bankrupt if it were not for his friends bailing him out & his dad leaving him real estate.

Money makes money & if you haven't got any you will struggle to get anywhere. If hard work & ingenuity were the path to riches, we should be seeing thousands of female African millionaires.

Check out this article about how the rich believe they deserve their riches & that they are better or have skills or attributes others do not.

Not at all. I am using the terms rich and poor in a very polar way. I am sure that you recognise that Donald Trump for example does not spend his idle time on facebook etc (although far to long on twitter). The takeaway here is that you trade your time for money that you then use to buy not income producing assets, you will be tied to continue working day in and day out.

I also did not say that the path to being rich was easy or that a lot of people work really hard. I am highlighting that there are a huge amount of people that could be far better off than they currently are if they made better use of their time and ability to acquire assets that will be income producing in the future.

If you follow the above then for sure you will be richer in the future than what you are now.. can everyone follow this, no unfortunately not. But I did not say that was the case either.
