This applies to so many things. I lost 60lbs in about 3 months and everyone wanted to know what I did. I just tracked my weight and calorie intake. I want to roll my eyes when people say "I don't eat more than anyone else!" but refuse to measure it.

Financially ilitirate are the most common thing why people are not able to grow their wealth. Most people knew they are earning money, but didn't realized that their earned money is not making more money. People should know their own income statements and balance sheet. People can do this are capable of handling future wealth...
Even if you aren’t raking in millions, you can grow your wealth just by mimicking the financial habits and strategies of the ultra-rich. Live within or below your means Pay off debt Don’t just save, invest
The wealthy start with a goal and work backward. Know what you want and what it’s going to take to get it. If you don’t know what you want, you’ll get something that’s the result of a bunch of decisions made for instant gratification.
Not listed, live below your means, the more frugal you are the more you can save. And somethings you can’t plan for the heater/ac unit goes out, the refrigerator stops working are a couple of things that can’t be planned for, but if you live frugally you just might have the savings to cover unexpected expenses.
Excellent tips and recommendations! Wealth is not an overnight success story but a lot of time, effort, and patience throughout the process. I recommend #5 to a lot of people just so that they can resist the temptation, and it definitely works! Thank you for sharing these :)
No mention whatsoever of having 3 or more months (or even any) emergency expense fund. Yes, a savings account was mentioned, but many people don’t even have enough set aside in cash for a $400 emergency. 3-6 months of living expenses saved away can (more often than not) result in not even needing to worry about credit cards or loans. It’s not always easy to save it, but if it’s hard to save it, consider how much harder it will be to cover an emergency expense (especially a job loss) in that case.
number 1 very good crucial for me very very important and number 3 true small expense go up fast and yes the better men project number 7 its important to not have a bad surprise
"Snowball" way of paying debts is exactly NOT what rich people would do. Rich people care about money, not fast gratification of paid off debt. The best way for your finances is to pay the highest interest debt first, then second highest, and so on.
Debate? There is nothing to debate. Paying off the highest interest (is it called "avalanche"?) is financially better. It is a trivial mathematical exercise.
Well, I guess managing ones money like the rich is not for everyone either... Then again, I doubt the rich even have several high-interest debts in the first place, so there is no decision to make. All debts that have higher interest than your long term investments projected gain should be paid off immediately. Those having lower interest than projected gain can be kept indefinitely.

Very good, BUT the biggest most important thing is not on the list: EARN MORE MONEY! The energy you spend on the nitpicky things could be better spent generating more revenue for yourself. Just half of that hour you spent on hold trying to get $10 off your cable bill could have been better spent on a sales call for possibly 100X the money with a prospective customer or client. Focus on learning more about yourself and what you do best and do it well, then position yourself to hire someone to handle the little things. Abundance is your birthright, but the first step to realizing it is to stop focusing on scarcity-oriented thinking that will keep it from you.
It cool to teach people how to manage money but to save to go on a trip. It not cool making your savings work for you to pay for that trip now that cool. While you on that trip your savings still working for you. Even when you come back it still working now that cool. Why invest when you're investments supposed be working for you? Why save when you're investments supposed bring you more income?
For one, you get interest free money for an entire month as long as you pay your balance the following month and one to two percent (sometimes five on certain purchases) cash back.
@@fretworkband3204 I'm from Poland. I checked with my bank and it seems that there is no "cash back" here. Maybe it's mostly an American thing. In my bank only black "world elite" VISA has some real perks.
Well the way the video made it seem was that you hold your extra money in a savings account which in turn loses value over time and just sits there. I guess save if you want to invest into real estate wholesaling without taking out a loan. Every paycheck I invest 1/3 of it into my TD Ameritrade account, my Crypto Accounts, or my online marketing business. Robert Kiyosaki has a good explanation on why you should never save money.
Depends on your definition of rich. A $50million+ rich person doesn’t have a big need for credit score more than financial statement to use credit. A $1-2 million rich person still uses credit on a day to day basis. So credit score for most people under $5 million is still very important.

The key is to notice where your money is going. What gets measured, gets improved.

I agree with all these tips. You cannot build wealth if you can't budget and have no idea where your money is going.

Small expenses ussually adds up and when you try to take note of it, you'll realize that it could get costly.

Know what your money is doing is better then not knowing. Keep track and you can raise your income.
The wealthy start with a goal and work backward.
Know what you want and what it’s going to take to get it. If you don’t know what you want, you’ll get something that’s the result of a bunch of decisions made for instant gratification.

Great video! Budgeting in my mind is a key method to increasing your wealth. I believe every dollar has to have a job.

That's what makes having an emergency fund essential!
The last one, 10th "way of expanding knowledge" was best among all 10. 👍.

Very important to continue learning and expanding our knowledge.
You can do the snowball method, or try to pay off the highest interest debt first

@@annakrichevsky2779 but people disagree with its sustainability and practicality. Its simply not for everyone.

Yolo, life is short
So live in debt and let others get wealthy off of you?
lol at least i have to have it before i manage it

This advice is for the middle class, not for the rich. For ex. if you are rich, you have very few reasons to use a credit card.
If you are rich, you use nothing but credit cards. It’s dumb not to.
For one, you get interest free money for an entire month as long as you pay your balance the following month and one to two percent (sometimes five on certain purchases) cash back.

11. Own a central bank.
Number 5 shouldn't be on this list. All the mentors I watch say never save money. Always invest the extra money you have into assets
How are you going to invest it you don’t save it?

how rich are you
You lost me right at the start. Rich people don't pay interest so credit score is irrelevant
Depends on your definition of rich.
A $50million+ rich person doesn’t have a big need for credit score more than financial statement to use credit.
A $1-2 million rich person still uses credit on a day to day basis. So credit score for most people under $5 million is still very important.
