9 Behavioral Habits of Millionaires That Set Them Apart

You must have read or heard that to succeed in life, you must, among other things, read a lot, study for years and work hard. Yes, these tips can be important for you to grow personally and professionally, but they are not enough to make you a millionaire. The difference between those who managed to conquer a life with some wealth and those who built fortunes can be in some habits common to most millionaires.

O awesome.club prepared a post full of tips on how the richest lead their lives for you to learn how to create good habits. Check out!

Rich people behave differently when it comes to business and money: they don’t “shout” to the world about their finances and they don’t flaunt it.

The wealthiest people I know dress extremely simply, and when they wear expensive pieces, these objects are discreet. On the other hand, those that only try to give the impression of wealth, on the contrary, only boast branded things. © Bran_Solo / reddit The wealthy people I know are discreet in everything they do and are “quiet” about their financial situation. Everything is of good quality and taste, but nothing attracts too much attention. People like that often donate to social causes and don’t seek recognition for their generosity.

The excess sometimes seems ridiculous and denounces those people who want to belong to the group of millionaires without, in fact, being part of it.

When it comes to health, most wealthy people adopt the saying “better safe than sorry”.

Millionaires generally don’t skimp on health insurance. They spend a lot on this type of service, but, because of this, they end up having access to quality and convenient medical care, without facing great difficulties or long waits. © LarsAlereon / reddit Every high-income person I know focuses on preventing disease and maintaining good health, not waiting to take action just when they have to treat those problems. Of course, they have access to first-class medical examinations, but their focus is often on early diagnosis. © Anthon Lund / quora

To have good health, it is not necessary to be rich. Fresh air, diet and sleep — all these little things can make a difference to your immune system.

If money has become, for you, an end and not a means of being happy, there is something very wrong with your life. That’s why many millionaires are engaged in charity and create foundations that help thousands of people.

I’ve worked with many millionaires and their most outstanding characteristic is their generosity. The wisest are aware that one of the greatest pleasures in life has to do with the idea of ​​helping those in need. People with money understand well that great wealth is also a responsibility. Anyone who does not understand this principle does not live a joyful life. It simply lives in “golden cages”. Probably one of the biggest benefits of not being rich is that you continue to believe that money brings happiness. Many millionaires do not have this illusion. For them, the most important thing is to give meaning and value to money. © David Frank Gomes / quora My brother-in-law is a billionaire. But he wears baggy pants and sloppy clothes. My brother once asked for a loan and he took a bunch of bills and said it was a gift, not a loan. He was always very modest and humble. He owns a good house and has given his children a good education. He doesn’t spend his money, he invests. © catsasss / reddit

Yes, having money is good. But why not help?

Being polite is a characteristic of many wealthy people. The ability to express gratitude is very powerful.

All the rich people I know thank the banker, the gardener, the lawyer, the janitor, in short, they thank everyone because they recognize the vital contribution these professionals make to their success. And that encompasses everyone around, no matter how big or small the contribution. Rich people make others feel happy and work as a team. Spread goodwill. As a result, they get significant amounts of cooperation and 110% effort from those they work with. This attracts success. Making money is hard work. Maintaining wealth is even harder work. And sharing the wealth is hard work. If you are grateful for what you have, every step of the journey will be worth it. Wealth is not just an external lifestyle or financial situation. Wealth is attitude, a way of seeing the world, a perspective on others. This attitude permeates the lives of the rich and makes them richer in every way. Gratitude is key in this process. © Steve Kobrin / quora

As Robert C. Townsend, former president of Avis, observed, “thank you is a seriously underrated form of compensation for work.” Simple words of gratitude help build relationships and can inspire others.

There is a well-known saying that “if you only want to feed a person once, give him the fish; if you want to feed it for life, teach it to fish.” “Teaching to fish” means having a good education.

One of my family members is a wealth manager for a millionaire, so I’m based on what I’m talking about. This rich man’s family invests heavily in education. Do the kids want a Maserati? No, they don’t! Want to learn to play the piano? Obviously, they’ll have as many piano lessons as they want. These people invest in the best teachers, in the best universities, really in the best education. © Priamosish / reddit My uncles are rich. They don’t buy new cars every year and they don’t spoil their kids by spoiling them. But when I found out how much my cousin’s private art college cost, I just couldn’t believe it: something around 500 thousand reais a year! I have to say it was worth it: he got a job at a big New York advertising agency. © kieffa / reddit

New knowledge and skills are new opportunities for development, achievement and gains, so education is a lifetime investment.

Millionaires are usually very considerate of those around them. And they usually have a powerful network of contacts with other millionaires and people in the same industry they work in.

In the sector in which I work, it is important to have contacts with people in the same segment. If you are an entrepreneur, but your circle of friends does not have another entrepreneur of the same level, you may need more contacts and people who work in the same area as you. Otherwise, you won’t have any issues and will be in the world of people who have to work from 8:00 to 18:00, have vacations once a year and receive paychecks every month. Description of the young Russian millionaire Sergey Kosenko. Rich people will never allow toxic people to be present in their lives. They will not spend their time with people who have nothing and complain all the time about their lives and their financial condition, because that is precisely the reason why “the poor are getting poorer.” © Ratna Kumar / quora

The value of a good conversation with a successful person willing to share their experiences is priceless. It is foolish to miss this opportunity. People who don’t have to worry about rising rents or the cost of living are always ready to help those willing to move up in life.

Expensive objects and clothes are not necessarily synonymous with wealth. Many of the people who wear designer pieces bought these pieces in 12 installments.

I didn’t change my lifestyle after my income jumped. I’ve noticed that the desire to have more objects begins to press on you. However, it is much better to spend on travel. Memories last forever and the feeling of having an outfit or a car is just a fleeting joy. I also try to keep up with the financial lives of my friends and neighbors. You never know the truth about people’s financial situation. I had “rich” friends who were actually struggling with debt and had little savings. © mwatwe01 / reddit “Look, I don’t wear watches or rings. I haven’t worn a watch in over 30 years: I don’t understand why they are needed these days, I can check the time on my cell phone,” says Jack Ma, founder of the Alibaba group and China’s richest businessman.

Overspending and eternal debt are the fate of those who only think about showing off.

Millionaires are harassed all the time by fake friends, people offering “must see deals” and scammers of all kinds. As a result, they learn to trust only themselves and to follow two basic rules that allow them to separate personal from financial relationships: (1) not revealing their own income and (2) having at least one personal account – not a joint one.

When asked about my profession, I am honest. I say what I do without worrying about how much money it makes me. My profession does not conjure up the image of a wealthy woman. And honestly, I live a life completely opposite to that of a millionaire. Small apartment, used car, department store clothes. I ended a six year relationship when my boyfriend saw my bank statement online. Since that day, he and his mother started using me as a “personal bank”. It took almost a year for me to really realize what was going on; it started with little things here and there and I didn’t mind doing something for the man I loved and for his mother, who was like a second mother to me. Then one day he asked if I was willing to buy his mother a new car. She had a very old car and had already spent a lot on its maintenance. I offered him my car, a 2006 Honda Civic, very well taken care of, as I was already thinking about buying a new one. Then I overheard a conversation between them (he thought I was sleeping). He told his mother he would convince me to buy the car she wanted, a Mustang. When I confronted him, he said it wasn’t fair that I hid my money from him. You see, he was already living with me and I helped him get out of various debts. So he put me up against the wall: he said that my not giving would be proof that I didn’t love him. Of course I broke up with him after that blackmail. © MedicGirl / reddit Don’t keep all your money in joint accounts. Have emergency savings IN YOUR NAME ONLY. I finished my sentences…
