YouTube is filled with videos such as 10 things poor people do that the rich don't or 15

Basic quantifiers

things rich people do that the poor don't or something along those lines. Many of them

To-infinitive

are quite interesting and are fun to watch but they don't really explain the difference.

DO you really think that the difference between the rich and poor is that, poor people watch

tv while the poor don't or rich people shower more often compare to the poor?

Neither do I, If you suddenly start showering more often or watching less TV, you are not

going to get rich because the real difference is in the mentality,

in the way, the play the game of money. And in this video, we are going to take a look

at 8 things that poor people do that are keeping them poor.

If you were to play any game strictly on defense, what are the chances of you winning that game?

extremely low or none, right? And yet, most people play the game of money

exactly like that. Their primary goal is not to win or to be at the top but rather not

to lose. They just want to pay all the bills and stay out of the debt.

The problem with this strategy is that when your goal is to simply to be above the water,

Of course, some people are little better than that, they save 10 percent of their income,

invest it in the stock market and just hope that the stock market doesn't collapse so

that when they get old, they will have something to rely on.

But until then, they will be locked into the comfort zone of a small paycheck!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but if your goal is to simply pay the bills,

you will just stay wherever you are. If you want to create real wealth, you should

stop playing defense and start playing offense and shoot for the stars.

As a wise man once said: “If you shoot for the stars, you'll at least hit the moon.”

2. Next, Poor People Do Not Value Freedom

When I say freedom, I do not mean living in a democracy or not. Freedom means living the

life that you want, and not the one that someone else wants you to live, doing what you want,

That's why you find a lot of people say: Money isn't important! Don't make your life all

about money! or the most famous of them: Money is the root of all evils!

And yet you find those people working all of their life from morning till evening for

some pennies just to keep the bill collectors away from their house.

doing the job that they wish they can quite, not only because they hate the job, but they

also probably hate their boss! and if they had the opportunity, they would quit that

That's why money equals freedom! So, how do you expect yourself to chase money

if you look at it as something negative? Rich people keep getting richer because it gives

them more and more freedom to do with their lives what they want.

3. Number 3, Poor people work hard for their money

It sounds a bit controversial, aren't you suppose to work hard for your money. Let me

explain. What do most people do if they want to make

more money? They work harder to get promoted and if that's not enough, they might consider

working overtime or getting a second job.  The problem with this is that, no matter how

much you are paid, at the end of the day, your time is limited.

And rich people perfectly understand that, so instead of working hard for their money,

they let their money work hard for them.  They look at money as a tool that can earn

them even more money and not simply a piece of paper they can use to buy what they want

Of course, first you probably will have to work hard for the money, but it's temporary

for the rich while it's permanent for the poor. Once you make enough where your money

can replace you, you will have more freedom!

4. Number 4, Poor People Focus On Obstacles

One of my friends wants to start a chain of restaurants. In fact, he has been telling

me that for the last 3 or 4 years but every time I ask him why he hasn't started yet,

he typical response, I don't have the money and I don't want to get into debt.

And that's the problem. Poor people are constantly looking for something

to go wrong. In these 4 years, he could have found an investor

or at least saved up enough to start. He hasn't even studied the market, he doesn't

even have a plan. He believes that if he gets the money, the rest will somehow magically

happens. But what will end up happening is that, he will just come across another obstacle.

It doesn't matter what business you want to get in, there will always be obstacles,

there are millions of things that could go wrong.

And if you are like my friend who isn't doing anything but complains how difficult

it is, you are probably in the same dark financial position that he is.

Some people are even on a different level,

even if they have the money and all the essentials, they will say things such as: What if it doesn't

work? What if people are going to know that I have failed!

5. Poor people chose to be paid based on time

How often do you hear people say, I deserve to be paid 50 bucks an hour or 60 bucks. I

have a degree from such and such school, I work harder than any else, I am smarter or

more talented. You know what! No one gives a damn,

Would you watch this video because I have spent so and so hour creating it?

What matters at the end of the day is how much value you can deliver.

You might be working harder than Jeff Bezos, but Bezos will be making 4.5 million dollars

an hour and you won't because while you are complaining, his company is providing

value to millions of people all around the globe.

6. Poor People resent rich and successful people

The other day, I was watching an interview with a successful and quite famous entrepreneur.

Then, I scrolled down to read some of the comments and a lot of people were like.

THis douchbag doesn't deserve to be on this channel, he is a scumbag.

And it really freaked me out, the guy worked hard to be in that position, Even if he has

inherited some of his wealth, he is probably much more disciplined than you.

Some people seem to have some kind of moral obligation to hate the top 1 percent or certain

instead of hating them, how about you join them!

7. poor people think they know everything

This is the most ridiculers one. What do people do when they face financial problems. They

complain about it, there are bazillion number of things you can blame, starting from politicians

that run the country and ending it with your boss.

But if you tell him to pick up a book and learn even the basics of money management.

He will tell you, this is my money and I know how to take care of it,

Well, if you have figured everything out, why on earth you are always broke.

And then they will give you even more excuses.

And it's not only about money. But everything else. haven't you realized when people get

into an argument, they try to prove that they are right, even if they are not, instead of

And to be honest, I have had this mentality back when I was a teenager, I was quite stubborn.

But then I realized that, If I keep going like this, I am never going to grow, So I

stopped acting like I know everything, and start paying attention to my flows and How
