  • Luxor's write these down and see if there's room for improvement in their own lives in

  • Order to make a list that's actually valuable for you guys

  • We've consulted with some of our own mentors and millionaire friends about some of the differences between the poor and the [rich] in their day

  • to day life

  • As always there are plenty of exceptions to these rules not everyone is in control of those circumstances

  • But being aware of these habits and activities might give you a slight edge and who knows if you stop doing them

  • Maybe you'd be closer to that goal. You've been dreaming about here are 15 things poor people do that the rich don't

  • Number One poor people watch a lot of TV. Let me put it this way if you [have] [the] time to watch reality TV

  • You're probably poor. It's always amazing how much time poor people waste on Meaningless television

  • It's one of those

  • distractions that grabs you and doesn't let go [if] you know which celebrity is dating who and if you're watching TV shows every week as

  • The episodes come on if you have a favorite news channel

  • You're probably watching too much television hence why your life is the way it is let us explain celebrity gossip and buzz offers

  • No value to your life

  • It only serves the celebrities rich people aim to be on TV instead of watching it you might say

  • But a luxe I'm watching as a big bang theory which is a really funny show and it helps me disconnect

  • That's exactly the issue you disconnect from your problems instead of dealing with them and getting them out of the way there are rare occasions

  • Where in the words of John Lennon time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time?

  • But really think about it should sitting and slide watching a screen be something you really enjoy [doing]

  • Before we move forward to the second thing poor people - let me explain what we meant by having a favorite news channel you might

  • Say that the only good reason to watch TV is to be aware of what's happening in the world staying informed the problem

  • We're seeing with this is that TV stations are always biased in order to pick their own [Magenta]

  • instead use the power of the internet to get a quick glimpse of what the world is like today and move on to do your

  • own thing

  • number two [poor] people eat fast food

  • Health is really important and many poor [people] have no interest in [knowing]. What's in their food?

  • What an actual healthy meal should look like or barely know anything about nutrition?

  • Poor people are blasting their brains with large quantities [of] [sugar] and fats with no nutritional value

  • They are actively ruining their bodies and as in effect they cannot perform at 100% of their potential [if] you're not healthy all

  • Aspects of your [life] are directly affected you'll suffer physically mentally

  • professionally and even romantically

  • Number three poor people buy clothes or products [that] are on sale

  • Let me put it this way the only thing you should buy on sale are stocks

  • While poor people are looking to conserve or stretch the little that they have the rich are focused on increasing their incomes

  • Just think about it the clothes that end up being on sale are the ones that [people] who could [afford] to pay the full price

  • Didn't want by buying clothes on sale you're just making sure that you're looking exactly like someone who can't afford to pay the full price

  • Number for poor people wake up later than rich people do in their early years

  • Poor people are often lazier than the rich in the early days

  • We know that some of you will be bothered a lot by the previous statement, but statistically

  • It's the truth someone who used their youth to grow themselves is a lot less likely [to] remain poor later on in life instead

  • [if] you wake up late

  • Don't educate

  • Yourself waste time on Meaningless activities at one point you'll find yourself so far

  • behind what the world needs from you that you'll end up miserable the Paradox is that

  • people who do not focus on growth in the early days end up working a lot harder with little success rate later in life just

  • To stay afloat we've done an entire series on inspiring people on our channel and almost all of them bill gates Elon musk

  • Warren buffett and more wake up early. You can check the series out in the [top-right] [corner]

  • number [5]

  • Where people are really into sports the truth is unless you're a professional athlete or an owner of one of the teams

  • [there's] really no reason for you to watch sports. It's the same with television. It's escapism from your current reality

  • Think of it like this, you're putting yourself in a position

  • Where you as an individual have no impact on the outcome of the game

  • Zero Impact this behavior then sticks with you

  • And you end up being a spectator in life instead of being [a] player or an owner?

  • And that's when you start criticizing other people when you yourself haven't done anything better

  • Number six poor people don't shower as often as rich people who initially we thought this was just a made-up fact

  • But it turns out to be true and amazingly it explains a lot when you really think about it

  • Most of the jobs today are in the service industries where human contact is a must in order to have a successful exchange of value

  • People who don't have good personal hygiene will in time be less successful than their counterparts

  • People tend to trust them less people want to spend less time when their presence and all of this has ramifications

  • In their personal life if people don't like you and don't want to be around you what kind of partners will you attract exactly?

  • It might seem ridiculous, but the first step to success should be an early morning shower

  • number seven poor people blame others for their misfortune

  • How many people do you know that have some sort [of] excuse or blame other factors for not being successful yet?

  • There are some things that are out of our control but 99% of your life is on you

  • Remember that you are in charge of your life. You [are] in charge of your relationships

  • You are in charge of your health you want these to change do something about it life is [not]. What happens to us

  • It's how we react to what happens to us

  • When something bad [happens] the poor choose to victimize themselves while the rich look into it study it

  • They seek [to] find out what happened

  • Why it happened and how they can protect from it in the future?

  • While one assumes the position of vulnerable victim the other uses it as a growing point

  • Number eight poor people have no money saved

  • One of the differences between poor people and the rich is that the former don't get ready for what's next

  • Having money put aside allows for Growth

  • Let's say something bad happens if you have money put aside the problem is solve

  • And you can resume your life if you don't and the situation is urgent

  • [what] do you do you either liquidate an asset like your car house?

  • ETC

  • Or you can take a loan for the rich when the situation is over

  • They're left in the same position - the savings

  • While for someone who's poor their lifestyle has been dramatically hit or now belongs to the creditor now

  • Let's look at the exact opposite an opportunity arises

  • Those who have money put aside?

  • Now have the chance to expand their lives while the other can't afford to take a full advantage of this opportunity

  • That's why the rich are growing richer while the poor are getting poorer?

  • Number [9] poor people use credit cards or take out loans for useless things

  • One of the main differences between rich and poor is how they make use of credit?

  • Want to take out a loan for a large TV?

  • Don't want a loan to buy that new supreme gear don't want to use credit cards to get the new iphone

  • don't

  • Unless you're flipping the supreme gear for profit or you're using your iphone to develop a new app to grow your business

  • Just to give you a sense of perspective if you're living in one of the more developed countries raising a child will cost you approximately

  • two [hundred] and fifty thousand dollars because [of] a lack of education

  • That environment and other factors poor people have on average [more] children and at a younger age than their rich counterparts

  • while the rich wait a couple of years until their standards of living improve in order to assure the right environment and prime conditions for
