21 Ways Rich People Think Differently from You

[unit321]

There are some truths and some are not.
If you have someone born into wealth, they don't spend their time educating themselves to get smarter, kind of like an "Arthur" personality. They just party and live it up knowing the money is always there.
There are people who used innovation and intelligence to create something that gave them wealth. People like Bill Gates, the guy who first created Hotmail, the dude who created Facebook, all became rich.
Other people like Wayne Gretzky, Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan who came from a non-rich background, didn't study super hard, or amassed a huge library but they became rich through their salary and endorsement contracts.
For those who are rich and say you can have it all, there are a lot of rich people who pretty much sacrificed their family for their job. Their children get raised by nannies and attend out-of-town prep schools. It takes a lot of work time for go-getters and up-and-comers to get out of middle-class-dom and into upper-class-dom. Really, how close was Donald Trump to his children while they were growing up? I'm not saying he hated them but how much quality time did he get to spend with them?

it's true though look at how mittens plans to run the country

I'd call that a lower state of consciousness

This is another thing. People talk abotu how they want to be rich, but don't have a clue on what they'd have to sacrifice to do so. I am happy being financially secure, but still having a life and relationships I value.

How exactly do you plan to do that? Are you doing it now? Is it working?

I dont understand nikkas who want to work for money instead of making money work for them.

how exactly do I plan on doing that? doing what you're not doing. limiting risks. thinking outside the box. investing a highly sought after commodity that i can afford to "lose". what is that commodity? it's called TIME...MY TIME!

am i doing it now? you bet.

is it working? yes

you dont understand n1ggas who want to work for money instead of making money work for them? I dont understand cats who regurgitate catchphrases that sound good, but have no concept of what they're talking about.

Being a sociopath helps more than anything on that list. As for the desire to learn, maybe with some rich people but the ones I've come across (through work) are usually moderately intelligent but ignorant as fukk and stuck in their ways.

What are you doing?

And whats a better investment of your time... a couple of hours on research that could help you turn $10K into 11-12K in a year... or whatever you're doing? And why can't you do both?

Its some gems and fluff on there but the bottom line is 90% of Americans are hopelessly average in every way, so the overwhelming majority of this country will be poor or middle class by design.

This system is setup for winners and losers(rich and poor) and you can't have one without the other

I rather be broke and smart dan rich and stupid o..money is not everything o

i'm always willing to educate people, which is why i'm bothering to respond to your post.

the difference between u and i is that, i understand the value of money and i am not willing to lose any huge chunk of it for the possibility that some silly investment scheme could pay off later down the line.

now, i want you to read what i just said very carefully because therein lies the answer to your future.

when i said I understand the value of money and you dont, that isn't an insult to you. its more of a fact.

lets use your example. if you had 10k, i get the impression (based on your rigidity towards the angle of investment), that you would risk "investing" the entire 10K or a sizable portion of it in the hopes of turning it into 11k.

while that thinking is fine and dandy...if it works out for you, unlike you, i'm a pragmatist. i understand that in your quest to turn water into wine, you run the high and very possible risk of ruining the water and also having no wine to show for it, thus being worse off than you started.

now lets use my example. i invest my time by researching the public. i understand that the public will always have a need for something. and what that "something" is, is what i spend my time identifying. in the ancient days, people trekked across the earth in search of gold. some found it and got rich, others didn't. in the olden days, men scoured the earth for oil, some found it and some didnt. the ones that did know the generational benefit they got in return.

now, in my quest to "research" the public, i invest things that I have a surplus of. things I can afford to spend. and one of those things is MY TIME. but along with MY TIME comes the little cost that I use to augment my journey to better position myself for success. all of this, in monetary terms, would not cost me no more than $600..and i'm being very generous here. It's lower than that, but for arguments sake, i upped it a few hundred dollars.

so using your example of 10K, if i spend $600 plus my time, doing something I enjoy doing, and I end up making $2000 over the course of a year. that is what i call a smart investment. why is it smart? because unlike your investments, your life can turn upside down overnight. your financial happiness/stability goes up and down with the state of the economy. ur success depends on not how hard u work, but external circumstances that you can never have control over.

one of the things i invest my time in is providing services on the internet. some months I make a lot of money, other months i dont. but there is one thing i can tell you, there will never be a day when i look at my account and i see an amount lower than what is expected to be there. u cant say that with your investments.

this isn't to say i wouldn't invest in the way that u speak of. but i wouldn't put as much stock in it as you appear to do. its not wise.

Most of that list is nonsense. Rich people don't all think alike, at the same time not all poor people think alike. There are too many examples of rich people losing it all during a downturn and never getting back the wealth built on quicksand. Becoming rich is one thing but maintaining wealth over time is much more difficult.

You misunderstand me in your quest to discredit me. Which is fine. You're wrong for example in assuming I don't use my time to make $$$. I have a job, and I have side ventures where I provide services by the hour. But even on top of those, I like to generate income w/o necessarily having to invest my time into it. You can make a 10 minute purchase and have yourself a lifetime income stream.

You don't like to play any game where you could lose at any time. Thats silly. You're looking at things very myopically. Lets take a stock for example. You buy $10K worth of that stock today. Every quarter they pay you a dividend... so you might get $500 at the end of every year. Then on top of that, the stock can go up or down in value. But as long as you hold it, they are gonna pay you that dividend. Regardless of what the stock's value is, eventually you will break even, unless the company goes out of business or files for bankruptcy. Is it possible? Of course. But what do you think the odds are of a company like Apple or Exxon going out of business in the next 5, 10, 20 years? Why not cash in on their success?

And like you said, there's a lot of shyt people need that is only getting more valuable with time. Energy, healthcare, information... these are all things that get more and more valuable by the day. Why would it be stupid to invest in them?

You keep talking about how you take satisfaction in being able to check your account at any time and not see it down. Well, in the long term any sound investment is the same, AND you don't have to spend every day working at it to get that $$$. Also LOL @ people bragging about their investments. Generally speaking people who randomly blurt out shyt like that don't know what they're talking about.
