All right, so let's jump right on this thing. First off, let's look at some of these things that we do or that we don't do that just messes us up and we don't get to where we want because of them. Now I'm gonna do a countdown and we're gonna start with number 30. Now there's two videos in the series. So watch this one and then go on to number two. Make sure you watch both of them. You'll be sorry if you didn't. Okay, number 30 is watching TV every single night. Are you a Netflixaholic? Are you? Do you have certain shows that you watch all the time? You see, wealthy people don't do that. They know that television is, if you think about it, it's called television programming, right? So they're programming you to come back. They're programming you to think a certain way. They're programming you to do certain things. You don't wanna be programmed. You wanna do what's best for you. Don't get hooked on TV shows that you just have to watch every night. There are some TV I watch and that's a fact. I will usually watch TV during a period of time that I can't do something else. If I'm eating lunch, I may turn on the TV. If I'm eating dinner, I may turn on the TV. But I can tell you this, for the most part, it's not on. I don't have shows that I just have to watch. Matter of fact, I don't subscribe to a lot of things because I'm afraid there's gonna be like a really good show I'm gonna wanna watch. And I figure if I'm not subscribed to it, I won't see it and it won't eat up my time. Number 29, eating fast food. Now, have I been guilty of this? Sure I have. I've eaten fast food before. Do I eat it at every single meal? No, sometimes I try to cook some vegetables. Last night we had grilled chicken and some broccoli, okay? But some people eat fast food all the time. And the bad thing about fast food is that you just don't get the nutrients you want. If you don't get the nutrients you want, you can become obese. And if you become obese, you're not gonna be healthy. And if you're not healthy, you won't be able to work hard and you won't have the right mindset and you won't feel good and you won't earn money. So actually that fast food that you think you're saving money on could be costing your health and your income. Number 28, stop buying junk. Stop buying junk. I've never been sorry if I bought a really good quality product. Some people buy cheap everything. They buy cheap clothes and cheap shoes and cheap cars and everything is cheap. And the problem with that is those things wear out and you end up buying more of them. People with money understand that you gotta buy good quality items. You know, for years I bought nonstick pans and no matter how much I spent on nonstick pans, they always stuck after a while and they always peeled off. And I finally just stepped up and I bought a set of all clad cookware and I know it's gonna last me the rest of my life. I'll never have to buy cookware again. Now some of you say, well, GJR, that's a lot of money and I don't have the money. I can't afford to do stuff like that. The thing is, if you invest in a good quality item, whether it's clothing, whether it's cookware, no matter what it is, it's gonna last longer and you don't have to buy as much. This is something wealthy people understand. Number 27, poor people are sometimes embarrassed to use coupons. No, get every single discount you can. Goodness gracious, I've actually gotten credit cards that don't have a fee that will offer you, let's say $150 on your first $2,000 you spend and I transfer all my spending over to that card for a short period of time and get my 150 bucks, okay? Taking advantage as a discount and coupons and all these things is a really wise thing to do now. Number 26, waking up early. Waking up early is a great thing and you notice a lot of kids when they're in college, they will wanna sleep in, so they'll start scheduling their classes in the afternoon, maybe a lunchtime or 10 in the morning, something like that, so that they can sleep in. Now, the really successful students are probably gonna have early morning classes. I was a bartender all through college, so I wouldn't get home till two or three in the morning but I still had nine AM classes. I still had eight AM classes because I knew that if I didn't get up then, if I didn't go to class then, then the afternoon I wouldn't exercise or I wouldn't study or I wouldn't do something because I'd be in class. So it eats up part of your day, so getting up early, really good thing. 25, playing the lottery. See, what is the lottery? The lottery is a game for people who don't understand math, right? If you consistently put your money into a lottery system, if you consistently buy these lottery tickets and scratch-offs and all that, all you're doing is wasting your money. Every now and then you'll get a small win just like a casino to keep you in there but it just wastes your money. If you took that same money and put it in the bank for 10, 20, 30 years, you're gonna have a pile of money there plus you're gonna have interest or put it in the stock market where on average you're gonna earn 10%. I promise you, lottery tickets won't do that for you. Number 24, shopping for fast fashion. What is fast fashion? Well, fast fashion is stores like Forever 21 or H&M or an old Navy, some of these places that just really have low-quality throwaway clothes. If you buy high-quality clothes, and you gotta check that out because sometimes the high-quality ones aren't good either, make sure they're good high-quality clothes, they're gonna last a lot longer, you don't have to keep buying. Number 23, buying into get-rich-quick schemes. There's no such thing, okay? It doesn't exist, quit looking for it, you're gonna have to work. If you wanna be wealthy and you wanna make a lot of money and you wanna have a big bank account, you wanna pay off your bills, you're gonna have to work hard. Does it always work out? No, that means you gotta work even harder, okay? When things look like they're not working out, you work even harder, you double down again, but quit looking for the get-rich-quick schemes. Number 22, they love sports. Poor people love sports. They love football, they love basketball, they love tennis, they love all these sports that they can sit there and watch all the time and waste their time. If you're sitting in front of a TV, watching a game for two or three hours, what could you really be doing with your time? Is it really important that your team wins? And by the way, it's not your team. They don't even know who you are. You putting in a jersey with your favorite player's name. If he gets hurt, they're not gonna look to you and go, hey, can you come in? We need you to come in for him. It's not gonna happen, okay? You're wasting your time watching sports. Number 21, focusing on obstacles instead of opportunities. How many times have you heard a poor person say, I can't earn money because of this? I can't be healthy because of this. I can't get a good job because of this. They constantly will have a reason why they can't do something instead of looking for an opportunity or a way they could do something. Okay, I'm faced with these circumstances, but here's what I could do to change those circumstances. That's what you need to do. Number 20, I hate to say it, bad hygiene. Yeah, did you know that wealthy people on average bathe more, shower more, wash their hands more, brush their teeth more than poor people do? Good hygiene is really important. And wealthy people understand that if you have good hygiene, you'll probably stay healthier. And if you're healthier, you'll feel better. And if you feel better, you can probably work harder and you'll be more motivated. Good hygiene is super important. Here's an interesting statistic. People who say they shower at least once a day, right? 77% of those people earn over $80,000 a year. I think there's a correlation. 19, having too many kids. Historically speaking, poor people have more children and have them earlier in life than do rich people. Kids cost money, okay? I'm not saying don't have kids. I've got a couple of kids myself. However, if I had those kids when I was 20 or 21, it would have severely hindered what I could have done in my earning potentials and what I could have learned. Poor people tend to have more kids and they tend to have them sooner. Number 18, blaming others for their problems. You know, you can play that blame game all day long, but it really doesn't matter what's going on around you. It matters what's going on right here, right? Right between your ears. That's the area that really is gonna affect your life. It's not the politicians that lower your taxes. It's not the boss that won't give you the promotion. It's not any of that. It's how you react to the circumstances out there. If you have a positive mental attitude and you look at everything as an opportunity and nothing is an obstacle, you'll be more successful. Number 17, not saving enough or not saving at all, okay? I was in a position for many years where I managed people who were in sales and sometimes they would have really big months and they'd make a lot of money. And they would spend every dime of that money. They didn't save anything. They didn't invest anything. They didn't pay off their bills. They looked at having more money as what can I go out and buy more of? Instead of saying, hey, I've got a surplus this month. I would have set it aside for those months where I don't have as much. And sure enough, those other months would come along where they didn't make as much money and now they're having to use credit cards or they don't have enough money to pay their bills and they're destroying their credit. You need to save a portion of whatever you make. Doesn't matter what portion you save, but it does matter that you save. And that security of having that money there will help you make better decisions and it always improves your credit. Number 16, depending on credit cards. Now, a lot of people say, well, I can afford that because I've got another $5,000 available in my MasterCard. I've got 3,000 on my Visa so I can afford that. No, you can afford it if you can reach in your pocket and pull out that amount of cash or you have that amount of cash in the bank. Having access to credit is a way for these big companies to charge you interest. As they charge you interest, you have less expendable income and you get deeper in the hole. Use credit cards sparingly. Now, in this video, this is part one, but I want you to go to part two.
