For the longest time, I've had many people tell me that the key to being rich is not only having a good job, paying your debts or having an immense background of wealth. It is the mentality of feeling you are worth something and motivating yourself to acquire these feelings of having money. One girl I know will dress up head to toe in expensive designer clothes, that are either knock off's or hand me downs from other people. You can pass her down the street and think she is loaded, but really, she is living check to check. She tells me she feels fabulous and just recently landed a great job as a Manager for a DJ, just because he was impressed by her appearance and aura.Go figure!
I got an email about the 7 ways the rich are different from the poor. Key components to getting yourself closer to acquiring the wealth you deserve!
1. Act, don’t react. Rich people make things happen rather than letting things simply happen to them. This means that you have to stop waiting for things to fall into your lap because this just isn’t going to happen. Being proactive will force the issue rather than being passive. This will help the job seeker.
2. Be committed. Rich people are committed to being rich while poor people simply want to be rich. If you sit by and just wish for something to happen it’s not likely that your prayers will be answered. You’re not living a fairy tale; you have to grab your life by the horns.
3. Focus on opportunities. Rich people will always look for the opportunity to improve themselves while poor people will only consider the obstacles that are restricting them from thriving.
4. Associate yourself with successful people. Rich people surround themselves with other successful people. Making these sorts of connections will help motivate you to further succeed. If you only hang around with people that don’t care to better themselves you’ll fall in line with them. Remember: misery breeds misery.
5. Consider both sides to an issue. Rich people will consider both sides to of the coin while poor people will consider “either/or.” Analyze a given situation by sizing up all your options. This will put you in a better position to make a proper decision on how to proceed.
6. Keep learning. Rich people never stop the learning process. Poor people think they already know it all. Being close-minded won’t get you very far as you’ll constantly be closing doors instead of opening new ones. Information is the key to success, the more you know the more attractive you’ll be in the job market.
7. Fear is your friend. Rich people thrive on fear and turn it into positives. On the flip side, poor people will cower when put in a pressure-packed situation. If you can funnel this negative energy into positive energy you’ll be ready to take on any situation that may arise.
What do you think about these tips? Do you agree or disagree?

The greatest tips of all are missing- you have to be able to save more than your spend as well as knowing how to tell the difference between needs and wants.

Whether you need more money just to make ends meet, are working towards getting out of debt, paying for college or buying a home, or looking for ways to increase your giving, you're thinking how to be rich.And a word of encouragement for those who need more cash to make ends meet. As the saying goes... “When times get tough, the tough get going.” No matter what your situation is, there are many ways to create some extra cash.The answers to money problems lie in how we use our own minds. How we think determines if we have money in abundance or a lack of money. If we think about lack of money, debt, and other problems all day long that is exactly what we create. If we think of abundance and joy that money can bring that is what we create. We create more of what we think about. If you
want more money, think about more money—never think of the lack. When the pay day comes, worry no more.=)
It's funny how some people care so much about appearing like they have money. I know some people who buy all designer clothes, thinking it's very important, even if they can barely afford them. And there are definitely wealthy people who I would never guess were so wealthy by looking at them. I think if I were super rich I'd have a good balance. I think I'd still shop at cheap stores, but maybe drive there in a Lexus...
It is all about balance! I would perhaps live in a lavish house, but not drop $700 on a pair of underwear ya know haha!
