What habits and insecurities prevent you from getting rich: almost everyone has them

Although money is not everything in life, it's not fun without it. In the age of social media, we often compare ourselves to others. It seems strange why some people work hard and literally survive from paycheck to paycheck, while others have everything without even working hard: apartments, cars, and branded clothes.

Psychologists say that we underestimate the impact of positive thinking. To know what habits and insecurities prevent you from getting rich, read the OBOZ.UA article.

Constant complaints

Of course, anyone can face a lack of money for reasons beyond their control. We all remember when the war broke out and the unemployment rate in the country increased dramatically. We had to drop everything and leave dangerous regions for new cities and even countries. But if you are working hard, putting in all your efforts, and there is not enough money even for the most basic necessities, you should "self-diagnose" to determine what habits may be preventing you from getting rich.

The first piece of advice is to stop complaining. Your life is not successful, your husband earns little and does not give you expensive gifts, or you live in an old five-story building or a rented apartment: these and other negative attitudes can not only spoil your mood but also lead to depression. Try to focus on the positive. Remember that many people do not have the same advantages as you.

Greed and stinginess

You save every penny, look for promotional items in supermarkets and buy clothes once a year and only on sale even if you can afford more. You want to have a large amount of money in your bank account or a hiding place under your mattress, and you always limit yourself on a daily basis. These and other insecurities indicate that the habits of poor people are so deeply ingrained in them that they cannot live a full life. Try to spend your money more often: do some charity work or donate some of your income to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

You hate your job

Work should bring not only money but also pleasure. If you work hard and get paid too little, it may be time to think about new opportunities and other jobs.

Success = money

Those who are in dire need of money usually measure the success of others through the prism of wealth. Of course, there is some truth in this. But only a small part. Wealth is not measured in money. Health, youth, opportunities, a close-knit family, noisy children, and a beloved spouse are also signs of wealth.

Expenses and income

A simple rule is that expenses should not exceed income so that you don't have to get involved in the bondage of loans and borrowing.

Another attitude of poverty is to have everything at once. Such people are interested in maximizing their profits in a short period of time. However, they risk paying more than they can buy.

Comparison and envy

Comparing yourself to others is only beneficial when you draw the right conclusions. The comparison should encourage you to take action and strive for a new level. Envy is a terrible feeling. Try to be happy for others without resorting to negativity and self-deprecation.

Lack of self-development

Try to develop the skill of life-long learning, which is the ability to constantly learn new things. To be competitive in the labor market, you don't have to be a top expert in any one area. It is important to constantly develop and to learn new languages, skills, and abilities. Without this, you can hardly count on income growth and professional development.
