You spend your free time on\u00a0household chores.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
Cleaning and cooking are activities that are hard to avoid, but it\u2019s wrong to spend too much time on them. There are only 24 hours in a day, and after sleep and going to work, you have only 5-6 free hours at best. If you spend them on dusting, making soup, and roasting chicken, there\u2019ll be no time left to improve your life. And when our time is worth more than the services of professionals, it\u2019s more profitable to delegate household chores to them.\n
\n
You tend to\u00a0ignore negative things.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
We often tend to ignore difficulties and unpleasant tasks, hoping that they\u2019ll solve themselves. However, these things might hinder your financial success. Negative feedback from your boss, unpaid bills, conflicts, and more are stopping you from becoming rich.\n
Being a \u201cPollyanna\u201d is an adjective given to people who tend to agree with positive comments about themselves exclusively, ignoring all negative information. It originated from the book, Pollyanna, a novel about a girl that could find positive things in everything.\n
To avoid this mistake, try to take into account all information and evaluate it critically. Accepting problems and taking criticism isn\u2019t easy, but ignoring these things can prohibit the opportunity to improve.\n
\n
You don\u2019t use the assets you have.\n\n

The amount of sharing economy users is expected to double by 2021. For those who don\u2019t know, the sharing economy is a way that consumers can share and use services either for free, for a fee, or through bartering and exchanging goods. Some good examples of this are companies like Airbnb, Uber, and eBay.\n
These platforms give us an opportunity to make extra income from the assets we have. You can rent out your garage, your land, or even the tools you have. Take a look at your possessions and see what things could be useful for others. Creating an ad doesn\u2019t take much time, and it will give you an opportunity to make some additional weekly income.\n
\n
You underestimate the influence of\u00a0laziness.\n\n

Researchers conducted an experiment where people were told to imagine that they were doctors that were choosing a type of therapy for a patient. They had a choice: to try the treatment, which led to death in 15% of cases; or not to try any treatment, which was lethal 20% of the time.\n
13% of people chose to not try any treatment because they\u2019d feel less responsible if the patient died. This cognitive trap makes us believe that not doing anything is safer than trying and taking a risk.\n
It seems like being passive and watching TV doesn\u2019t cost a lot, but think about all the time you waste. You can work extra hours to earn money, learn new skills, or think about your own business \u2014 it simply requires you to take a risk to make some additional income for the future.\n
\n
You don\u2019t know prices.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n
Unless you\u2019re familiar with prices, you\u2019ll end up\u00a0spending more. Marketers are experts at\u00a0tricking\u00a0us, making the temptation to\u00a0buy products with discounts high\u00a0\u2014 but remember, the same product might be\u00a0much cheaper in\u00a0a\u00a0different store.\n\n
\n
You plan your budget for a\u00a0period of\u00a0less than a\u00a0year.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n
Some expenses have to\u00a0be\u00a0planned many years in\u00a0advance. If\u00a0you want to\u00a0buy a\u00a0car, it\u2019s better to\u00a0save money in\u00a0advance instead of\u00a0acquiring credit. If\u00a0you don\u2019t have long-term goals, you\u2019re at\u00a0risk of\u00a0spending all your savings or\u00a0taking on\u00a0a\u00a0loan.\n\n
\n
You don\u2019t spend any money on\u00a0entertainment.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
If\u00a0you decide that films can be\u00a0seen at\u00a0home, eating out isn\u2019t for you, or\u00a0that concert tickets are way too expensive, after some time, you\u2019ll feel burnout and become dissatisfied with your life. While cutting your expenses, you can reduce entertainment spending, but don\u2019t get rid of\u00a0this entirely. For example, meet up\u00a0with your friends, but instead having a\u00a0chat in\u00a0a\u00a0restaurant, invite them to\u00a0your place for a\u00a0cup of\u00a0tea.\n
\n
\n
You don\u2019t know how to\u00a0establish relationships.\n\n

People who are rich tend to\u00a0have several close friends, while the poorest people are among the loneliest. While focusing on\u00a0finance, we\u00a0tend to\u00a0forget about our friends. But the problem with this is\u00a0that friends have a\u00a0positive influence on\u00a0all aspects of\u00a0our lives, including finance. Having someone who believes in\u00a0you and is\u00a0always there for you shouldn\u2019t be\u00a0overlooked.\n\n
\n
You\u2019re a\u00a0bad negotiator.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
\n
You can\u2019t succeed alone, so\u00a0negotiating skills are an\u00a0indispensable trait in\u00a0wealthy people. The best negotiators always have the best salary, working environment, and support from their boss. If\u00a0negotiations are like taking bullets for you, try different online courses for guidance, and if\u00a0you want to\u00a0become affluent, don\u2019t miss the importunity to\u00a0practice in\u00a0real life.\n\n
\n
You try not to\u00a0bother anyone, especially with matters related to\u00a0health.\n\n
\n
$\"\"$ \n
\n
People from ordinary families often refrain from discussing their health issues, fearing they might be seen as burdensome or needy. They typically prioritize the well-being of others over their own, silently enduring ailments to avoid causing any inconvenience. When it comes to seeking medical attention, they may delay or avoid it, worried about the financial strain it could place on their family.\n
This tendency to downplay their health concerns stems from a deep-rooted sense of humility and self-reliance. Despite their own suffering, they find solace in knowing they haven\u2019t troubled anyone, maintaining a quiet resilience that underscores their everyday lives. Wealthy people know that health is paramount and are not afraid to make someone uncomfortable.\n
