11 things your millionaire neighbor is hiding from you.

//THREAD//
1: He gets up before you.

A lot of millionaires are ultra-focused in the morning.

They're taking care of business before everyone else gets up and starts muddling their way through the day.

Most millionaires don't get up at the crack of noon.
2: She doesn't know (or care) who got voted off the island.

She doesn't watch reality TV, including the 24-hour news cycle.

11 uncomfortable truths about life I wish I had known at 20.

//THREAD//
1. It's EASY to look good.

▫ Show up

All you need to do is take them.
2. Risk builds wealth.

▫ Real estate
▫ Stock market
▫ Cryptocurrencies

Or:

▫ A new job
▫ Moving overseas
▫ Going back to school

To build wealth, put your money at risk.

12 Things My Wife And I Did To Retire in our 30s.

++ THREAD ++
1: We ignored the hate.

Funny how people dish hate when you're living a purposeful life.

You're not drowning in debt, buying a boat, going on pricey vacations.

You're living your life. Building wealth.

Those hateful people are still working today.
2: Tracked cash flow.

We knew where every dollar was going.

Using spreadsheets, we had complete visibility over everything, and it made saving money uber simple.

Track your spending.

Why are poor people poor?

Hint: It's not just because of "bad decisions" or a poor mindset.

//THREAD//
Too many people assume that poor people are poor because they make bad decisions.

Or, that poor people are:

▫ Uneducated
▫ Unmotivated
▫ Undisciplined

That's too simplistic and ignores the nuance that plagues those in poverty.
Things that TRULY impact wealth:

▫ Race
▫ Upbringing
▫ Experiences
▫ Perspectives
▫ Circumstances

Let's look at the stories of Jimmy and Johnny.

Jimmy is a white kid who grew up in suburbia. Upper-middle-class.
Johnny is a black kid who grew up in "the projects".
