hello ,

there are 7.3 billion people living on the planet earth ..just 323 million of those are in the US .. and of the total population of the planet only 14 million have recorded net worths over 1 million dollars .

and those 14 million are spread around the planet , so it works out that .2 percent of the planets population are successful enough to be millionaires .

now if all 14 million lived in the US that would mean close to 5 % of the Us population would be millionaires


you can right a thousand book on what the 7 plus billion people who are not millionaires do to not become rich.. actually you can pretty much watch most reality programs and read the newspaper..and really listen and sing along to the vocal in man song in popular music .

there are dozen of short lists out there that can tell you what people who earn the money do to earn it . .

The rich get richer the poor get poorer .(.by comparison to the rich )

do thing that make you richer . some of the items i have seen .


1) buy high quality used cars for cash .( you save the new car depreciation , the interest in paying back a loan , and the added cost of insurance .)

even better buy quality cars from auctions .

2) eat less processed food ( fat Use to be a sign of wealth now trim and health are the signs of wealth as it also mean lower health insurance costs and fewer doctors visits.

3) getting and staying married ( preferably to someone with the same values and complimentary skill sets ..one person can be good at making stuff ..the other at marketing or tracking the money . )

4) investing or creating income producing assets ..or working for for successful start ups . team ..can mean together every one achieves more ..but there is an M and an E ..so be on teams that either will make you rich or teach you wealth building skills .

there are more ..

the idea is you can waste a lot of time trying to explain why so many people fail .. or you can spend a lot less time examining what successful people do then adding in wealth building habits ..that may not give you fast overnight .. instant quick , yada yada yada ..results .. but as you do more things that promote wealth and fewer things that drain wealth ..

wealthy people have a much longer view into the future ..

    I think the biggest problem is that people looking for "success" are addicted to "millionairism" and use it as the only possible measure of wealth, success and richness. If you use a real-world measure of wealth, success and richness the number of "successful" people explodes all around you.

    Nice post.

    There are tons of ways to get rich. The methods are not important. Just do a google search for "how to become rich"

    The really important part is taking action and sacrifice.

    Cheers,

    I believe that in order to become wealthy you have the proper mindset. Those that are wealthy think a certain way and those that are poor also think a certain way.

    That's why a lot of lottery winners end up right back broke is because they do not have the proper mindset to keep and grow money.

    I have enjoyed books such as "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki because it helps you to learn the differences between the two mindsets. It definitely helped me to view money differently and to get free from a poverty mindset.
