  • Interesting post and stats. "How Rich People Think" is a good read by Steve Siebold if anyone is interested.
  • Hmm, interesting because there was only few things I don't do what the wealthy is suppose to be doing. I don't consider myself truly wealthy but good to know I at least share habits with the good folks upstairs
  • Funny, because a majority of them are spot on. They might have something there.

    Except 7, 8 and 15. Hardly do them!
