20 Things the Rich Do Everyday

I found this list HERE but Dave Ramsey said he got it from the dude below:

Tom Corley, on his website RichHabits.net, outlines a few of the differences between the habits of the rich and the poor:

1. 70% of wealthy eat less than 300 junk food calories per day. 97% of poor people eat more than 300 junk food calories per day. 23% of wealthy gamble. 52% of poor people gamble.

2. 80% of wealthy are focused on accomplishing some single goal. Only 12% of the poor do this.

3. 76% of wealthy exercise aerobically 4 days a week. 23% of poor do this.

4. 63% of wealthy listen to audio books during commute to work vs. 5% for poor people.

5. 81% of wealthy maintain a to-do list vs. 19% for poor.

6. 63% of wealthy parents make their children read 2 or more non-fiction books a month vs. 3% for poor.

19. 86% of wealthy believe in life-long educational self-improvement vs. 5% for poor.

20. 86% of wealthy love to read vs. 26% for poor.

I don’t like lists like these because they’re so nebulous….and generalizey….but it’s interesting to see the habits of the “wealthy” folks.

Do you do any of the things on the list?

I’ve got 11 of them down. A few don’t apply to me yet but I will when my kids are older. As for #14….I’ll be part of that 6% dammit!
