The Process of Becoming Wealthy

The question of whether it is possible to become wealthy in life without toiling much may interest everyone including you. The question may sound bananas as well because, since childhood, every one of us has been taught that we should work hard for several years to become wealthy. But according to some modern thinkers, whatever we have learned is nothing but a conservative perspective. The firm opinion of these modern thinkers is that it is possible to get rich without working hard, robbing a bank, stealing, hitting a jackpot, or winning a lottery. 

One such modern thinker was Thomas C. Corley, who was just not an author but a financial consultant as well. His research involved a study of the lifestyle and habits of millionaires such as the way they lived, watched TV, their food habits, and so on. The study included self-made millionaires as well. In addition to interviewing millionaires, Corley interviewed those who earned just average incomes also. He found that the former group invariably had a few habits that he called “rich habits.”

Their TV watching and social media presence were limited to just one hour daily, they ate healthy foods and counted calories meticulously, and more importantly, they were so disciplined that they went for regular teeth cleaning, flossing, etc. After comparing the habits of rich people with those of average income people, Corely concluded that indiscipline is a poverty habit. Poverty habits shackle people and will not allow them to get rich.

Let us now look into some of the other "rich habits."

1. Rich people make plans at every step of their life.

Though it is not possible to have plans for the entire life, rich people set goals such as weekly goals, monthly goals, and yearly goals. On the contrary, poor people do not have any plans. They lead their lives without any aim. Unfortunately, many people think that they must be rich to plan their life. But the fact is you must make plans if you want to become rich. 

2. Not spending unreasonably is a rich habit as well.

One of the surest ways to become rich is not to spend unreasonably high amounts on anything. Not only that, you should wisely invest the money thus saved.

3. Rich people educate themselves continuously.

Another great habit of rich people is that they educate themselves on a continuous basis. They read a lot. To be more specific, they read purposefully. They choose those materials and books that inspire them, develop their personality, and help them in achieving their goals. 

4. Rich folks keep themselves away from toxic relationships. 

Toxic relationships are those that impede growth and do not allow you to move towards your goal. If you wish to become wealthy, you should keep such relationships away. There cannot be any compromise in this aspect.  

5. They ensure to lead a healthy life.

If you do not have good health, you cannot focus on your goals. Rich people are aware that ill-health will not allow them to move forward. That is the reason they take the utmost care of their health by doing regular exercises, being active physically, and eating nutritious foods.  

So, if you dispense with your poverty habits and embrace rich habits, you can certainly become wealthy. On the other hand, if you fizzle and do not keep the promises you make to yourself, your desire to become wealthy will remain a pipedream.
