Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class

[Mark1808]

I just picked a book called "The Top 10 Distinctions between Millionaires and the Middle Class" by Keth Cameron Smith. I found it to be a short, brezzy yet insightful and motivational read for anyone interested

Some of the key points:

Millionaires think long term Middle Class thinks short term
Millionaires talk about ideas Middle Class about people and things.
Millionaires take calculated risks, the middle class is afraid to take risk.
Millionaires continue to learn, middle class thinks learning ended with school.
Millionaires work for profits, middle class work for wages.
Millionaires focus on increasing net worth, middle class on increasing paychecks.

Millionaires are too busy working for nonsense like this.

I guess I have the qualities of a millionaire, I just have yet to do something to make me one. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Read "The Black Swan" - it has some interesting comments on these types of books.

Are they also too busy to comment on what nonsense it is?

A million is not enough for millionaires. In fact, no amount of money is. It's the one who strive for a billion who become millionaires.

Millionaires know how to trick middle class people into paying $29.95 for books, videos, and seminars that contain nothing but common sense and optimism.

In my experience (reasonable sample size), the extremely wealthy are incredibly unhappy souls.

The middle class seems downright gleeful by comparison.

My experience has been pretty much the opposite. Again fairly reasonable sample size of about 800-1000.
