6 Self-Destructive Habits of Poor People

Your action defines your destiny. Rich people do things which help them prosper. Poor people usually are in that state because they do things which make them poor. Earlier I wrote an article about habits of rich people which poor don’t follow. Here is a list of self-destructive habits of poor which make them poor. These are habits which you must avoid in order to avoid being poor and you should start following habits of rich people.

Disclaimer: I know that a lot of people will disagree with me, but trust me; these habits are really stuck with poor people generally.

1. Complain; Don’t solve
I have met many poor people and one thing I found common in all is that they just complain. They complain about being poor, being mistreated, being less resourceful, and most frequently, having bad luck. It is very rare that I find a poor fellow trying to find out solution of his problems. They just don’t do any effort to solve their obstacles.

2. Accompanied with wrong people
Your company has an impact on you a great way. If you are surrounded by losers, one day you will find yourself as loser. Poor people are generally friends with negative and unsuccessful people.

Being associated with rich people helps in many ways. Rich people take their victories along with them. They have a network of successful people which helps them as and when needed. If you are surrounded by losers, you can expect the same kind of help from them.

3. Focus on efforts
Poor people focus on efforts. They measure their worth in terms of effort they put in or time they put in. They are not concerned about results. They just want to be paid more for their time. Whereas rich people want to be paid for results they bring.

4. Bad money management and still feel that they know it all
First, poor people manage their money really bad. They don’t know how to use money (howsoever less they save) to make more money. And second, they think they know it all about saving, investment, and other money related topics. They think that there is nothing new coming up in the market about money-making schemes. They never think about investment in stock market and other investments.
And yes, taking one more loan will matter a lot, especially when you have taken some other loans, which you can’t pay it back.

5. Spending money on not-so-necessary things
People won’t agree with me here on this point. But I have seen so many examples. One example I saw is of my Uncle, who does farming. He always complains about being poor (which he actually is), but all possible luxuries are present in his house. Now someone explain me this; when you don’t have enough money to send your children to a proper school, what is the need of a Television in the house? Why do you need an expensive smart phone, when you need to use it just for calling people and you don’t have any other use of it? Someone please tell me why?
And why do you need to have expensive habits like alcohol and tobacco? First, they are killing your money and second, they are killing you.

6. Waste money on quick money-making schemes
Now that is very common. Poor people expect that one fine day they will win a lottery and all their problems will go away. For that, they keep on buying lottery tickets and wasting their hard earned money. Believe me; earning money is not that easy. One has to do hard work for that.

I know, this is not the end. But these are some of the self-destructive habits of poor. Try not to have them and start following habits of rich people, you will one day find out yourself among rich.
