How The Rich Become Rich

HOW THE RICH BECOME RICH



THEY ARE CHEAP!
Ever see coupons in the paper, saving you money in the grocery store or online savings buying in bulk? Or eating nothing but very cheap prison food. Well rich people are tight asses, they only spend to save if that makes sense. They buy when they know they have too because we all have to eat, but they will not waste money. For instances imagine not eating anything except oats for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday for four years! Now I am not talking about uncle tobys oats oh so yummy, I am talking about microwavable oats the ones that are at the bottom of the shelf so most people don't see them the ones that are $1.99 and last almost three days. Well believe it or not it's possible, how do I know this, because that person who has indeed done that is me. I may not be a millionaire yet, but I'm doing my duck walk and you can hear my ass squeak all the way to the bank.

CASH ONLY BABY!
Set yourself a budget! You are far less likely to spend money when you withdraw a certain amount of cash and leave your cards at home. And when you do withdraw your cash how about playing a little game of can I spend less each week. Get rid of items in your shopping trolly, do I really need toothpaste this week. I'll eat bananas and whiten my teeth with the skin instead. Each week try and reduce your spendings by $10-$20 dollars. Hey think about it this way if you don't buy enough food this week starving will make your stomach smaller and help you reach you financials goals for the next week, and who knows how much you could save then!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? 
I AM A HAIRDRESSER
Here is another cheap and nasty savings tip. Hate going to the hairdresser because they just don't understand how you want your hair cut or the design you want!
Cut your own damn hair then! Thats right how much money could you save by cutting your own hair, it's not that hard really just start off with a slightly longer length cut that way if you cut it funny you've hopefully got a few chances to fix it. Worst case scenario, if you have to keep cutting and it becomes to short well at least you save yourself money money and time because your next hair cut will be a fair while away. On a serious note though if you are quite terrible at cutting hair have a friend do it for you that way you can also blame them when they mess up, instead of yourself. It much more fun pointing the finger at others, but remember you'll always have three fingers pointing back for every finger you point.

WASTE NOT WANT NOT
Made a mistake when you printed something only to toss it in the bin. What a waste, how about tearing your mis-prints into two and using the blank sides as a note pad. When you are cooking, don't just cook one meal tonight and then again tomorrow night. Cook a huge meal that you can put into airtight containers and freeze this will save you money and time out of the dreaded kitchen, and in return it will give you more time to analyze the next electricity bill and make sure they read the meter and didn't estimate based on the last bill or average. Because you ain't average you are a millionaire in the making! Dude turn off your electronic items at the wall when your asleep or not using them. I know it may seem petty but every cent counts, every single cent counts! When you are making a purchase try to get the best possible deal, this something is way to expensive well look it up on online and if you can find it cheaper tell the shop owner you want them to match it and if they can't well go get the deal somewhere else.

WORKING TO HARD 
FOR YOUR DOLLAR
Do you feel you need a pay rise? You deserve it then, get off your ass and tell your boss you wanting to discuss a pay rise as you love working for so and so company but don't feel that you are getting paid what your years of developed skills are now worth in the current employment market. If your boss is umming and arghing. Let your boss have an escape route, tell them looks lets do this how about you give me the pay rise now on a 9 month probation period. Your boss will usually agree to this as its not a whole year so it sounds like a better deal for him than you, but your actually thinking ahead and your going to negotiate again in 9 months aren't you.

THEY AREN'T AS SMART
AS YOU THINK
People think rich people are all university graduates with high paying jobs, or mommy and daddy gave them money. They are just so much smarter because they know how to do this or that. Well maybe there are certain things they may seem to grasp quicker than you or I. But the fact remains we are all capable of success aren't we? What is the difference then, one thing is for sure they don't complain they decide to gain instead. They do things they don't sit and go oh well I don't know how to do that or I need more education for this. They take risks and they don't allow negative thoughts in their heads. They rise early in the morning work late into the evening achieving the goals they dream and aspire to achieve. They usually start just where we all do, right at the beginning. How does a child learn to walk? They get up and give it a go and again and again, until eventually they are walking. Wake up tomorrow, say hello world, put on your boxing gloves and go kick some ass like muhamad ali, or you can stay in bed and cry and get your ass kicked by muhamad ali.

STOP BUYING GIFTS
How many gifts have you received that are items you never use or even want? Why would someone know what you would or wouldn't like? They aren't you so they wouldn't, and if they were you they would know you would like the money instead, because your only going to go and sell their crappy gift as soon as you get it. Another thing how much money have you wasted buying gifts and I mean wasted because trust me that money ain't coming back into your pocket. Tell your friends and family that you've decided to stop buying gifts for birthdays and Christmas because you've realized that you no longer need to prove your love or loyalty to them and that a simple phone call or a friendly stop by is all that is required from now on and you hope they understand. And if they don't and they disown you then you are going to save heaps because you definitely won't be buying gifts for them anymore.

THEY ARE RICH DIDN'T YOU KNOW
Half of all millionaires drive second hand cars, why you ask. Simple cars aren't an investment, unless of course were talking about a classic car but we are not. They look and dress just like you and me, beware they could be right in front of you! Most millionaires aren't into wasting money on clothing and fashion labels or trying to show off. Why would they want to make someone else wealthier. After all what's the point they are already millionaires so who cares. Only poor people like to show off so people think they are rich.

MAKE MORE FRIENDS
Millionaires usually have a lot in common, they are lots of friends you might say well because they are rich, but its about making friends and relationships along they way, especially with skills you might need later on. A friend who is a building who can build your investment property cheaper than others, an account who will give you a discount, a funeral director who will bury you for free in your backyard. You're right that last point may have been taken to far, but you get what I am saying. Never miss the opportunity to develop a new friendship and relationship.
