Poverty and wealth are a state of mind and a way of thinking. Wealth is always associated with happiness, success, a carefree way of life, and poverty - with dissatisfaction and grief. But this is not always so ...
Now many specialists-psychologists and sociologists confirm the theory that every person can become rich. The question is that not everyone needs this. In a sense, each of us at least occasionally reflects: "But if I were rich ...", but what exactly is needed for this and what specific purposes to spend - we do not know. The main problem is not so much in the poor material condition of many people as in the reluctance to make efforts for them to make any changes. People get what they are ready to spend their strength and time, for which they have the courage and optimism. Poor people even for a moment can not imagine that they could earn more money. Here is the psychology of such people: they complain of an unfortunate fate and take poverty as a life sentence. It is easier for them to blame everyone for their deplorable situation than to stand up and do something to improve their status and the growth of material wealth.
Characteristics of the poor, characterized by a lack of any desire for change. Such people like to play safely - let low-paid work, but safe. Their life credo is "better than a bird in their hands ..." And even in their thoughts they prefer not to make any decision that has the slightest risk, be it a new employment or investment.
Many rich people left the "slums". How did they do it? Everyone with the psychology of the poor man will say: "Of course, stuck!" Or "Mom-dad rich, helped." So it is easier for the poor to reconcile themselves with the fact that the same person as they themselves was able to achieve success in life, and they remained in poverty. But the rich are not all criminals or children of rich parents. They are just ordinary people who were not afraid of change, abandoned their safe work and allowed themselves to think that everything could be different. They started their business and did not regret it. Even being poor, you can become a successful entrepreneur. And for this it is not necessary to have outstanding mental abilities - you just need to have valuable ideas and be able to implement them. Or as a last resort to be able to inspire people who could do it for you. Poor people often do not even suspect how ideas can be and what successes can be achieved. Typical for them are self-pity and low self-esteem. Residents of the "slums" do not believe in their abilities, in the fact that they can change their way of life.
The poor man sails with the current, not wanting to grow, does not consider it necessary to study new things. He is passive in all respects. And this is one of the main reasons for his poverty. Poor people are illiterate financially. They think it's right to buy cheap things, although they are often spoiled and, as a result, more money is spent on updating them. And in such serious things as, for example, buying a car, this can be a real problem. The poor man thinks: "I do not have money for a good car. I'd better buy a cheap car - enough for me. " And then problems with repair, maintenance begin, on it all free money goes and the person again falls into depression and starts to regret itself. He curses the "rich" for the fact that they have the opportunity to ride a luxury car, without even thinking that he himself can become rich. Yes, these people could afford the same. It would be better to make efforts and save up a little more money, or take a loan, but buy a good car once. This in the end would have been much cheaper for the family budget.
The trouble is that the poor man will remain poor even after winning millions in the lottery. He just will not know how to spend it wisely, to multiply, and not just to let go of the wind. The poor man's money will be wasted in less than six months.
The main difference between rich and poor people is their way of thinking. The poor man wants to have more money, so that they "fall" on him from somewhere. And the rich will study the ways of their multiplying, if they are and earnings, if they are not.
The poor live in fear. In fear of losing. Although they have, in general, nothing to lose. The most successful people often risked their lives to get something from it. They learned to lose, but also learned to recognize their defeat as an incentive to new victories.
The rich have become richer because they are swimming against the current. They risk, while not always remaining in the win, but still do not stop trying to improve their situation. But everyone can become rich. For example, what will a poor man do if he suddenly has a free real estate? They will either sell it by spending money in vain, or let relatives, acquaintances or friends go there for free. Because the poor feel ashamed to take money for anything, they consider it shameful and unworthy. The rich will begin to invest this property, earn on it. So in 2-3 years he will have the opportunity to buy another apartment.
Rich people are very curious, interested in developing new business opportunities, creating new assets that they can buy. The rich are always informed and competent in many areas of finance, business, etc. The rich are active and always look for opportunities to take risks, are always ready to develop.
