How to be rich (20 things what the rich do)

Is there anyone who wish not to be richer? I believe that most people hope to be financially better off and live comfortable life without money problems. Don’t you? Beginning of every year, all the newspapers keenly write down the list of richest people in the world to catch the ordinary people’s attention (like us) and we all check them out enviously. Yes, I am the one of them, too.

 

 

 

 

 

Whenever I see the list, I can’t stop questioning how on earth these people could become this rich and if there are any secrets that we don’t know to be richer. So, when I found this interesting article named ‘ 20 things what the rich do that the poor don’t do’ , my eyes were widely open to catch some clues I have been looking for.

 

The article was originally posted  by Dave Ramsey, an American financial author. The article outlines 20 differences between the habits of the rich and the poor so I believe it would be a great chance to exercise reviewing our habits and learning the habits of the rich in order to rich our life. As Sr. Richard Branson mentioned that the best way to create a successful business is copying an existing business and improve it, I think it would be excellent idea to learn the rich’s habits and take them into our life.
