12 Money Habits of People with Wealth:
They Pay Themselves First
The first rule of wealth-building: pay YOU first. Wealthy people prioritize their savings and investments before they start spending on anything else. So, next time you get paid, set aside money for your future self before you hit the mall.
They Have Multiple Streams of Income
Wealthy people don’t rely on just one paycheck. Whether it’s side hustles, investments, or passive income, they know the value of diversifying income streams. And you can, too! Wealthy Girl Code teaches you how to set up those extra streams like a pro.
They Budget Like It’s Nobody’s Business
OK, I know budgeting sounds boring — but trust me, it’s the backbone of financial success. Wealthy folks know exactly where their money is going, and so should you. Think of it as giving your money a job so every dollar works toward your goals.
They Invest Consistently
It’s not about timing the market, it’s about time in the market. Wealthy people invest regularly, even if it’s just a small amount. The key? Start now, and be consistent. Thank me later when you’re watching that compound interest grow!
They Leverage Good Debt
Wealthy people use credit and debt strategically — think investments in real estate or their businesses, not a maxed-out credit card. Mastering credit is key to unlocking new financial doors, and Wealthy Girl Code breaks down exactly how to do this.
They Never Stop Learning
Whether it’s reading books, listening to podcasts, or attending workshops, wealthy people are always growing their knowledge. Start with Wealthy Girl Code, and you’ll be well on your way to staying ahead in today’s digital economy.
They Automate Everything
Bills? Paid. Savings? Transferred. Investments? Done. Wealthy people automate their finances so they never miss a beat. Set up automatic transfers to your savings and investment accounts and watch your wealth grow with zero effort.
They Surround Themselves with Like-Minded People
Ever heard the saying, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with”? Wealthy people hang around others who are financially savvy and growth-oriented. Surround yourself with those who push you to be your best.
They Stay Focused on Long-Term Goals
Quick wins are fun, but the wealthy stay focused on long-term growth. It’s all about building wealth that lasts, not just a big bank account for today. Think estate planning, investing in assets, and securing your future.
They Set (and Stick to) Financial Boundaries
Wealthy people aren’t afraid to say “no.” Whether it’s skipping a shopping spree or avoiding risky investments, they set clear financial boundaries and stick to them. Let’s channel that energy into being disciplined about our financial goals!
They Value Experiences Over Things
Sure, we all love a good designer bag (guilty!), but wealthy people prioritize experiences that bring long-term happiness over material stuff. Travel, education, and personal growth are investments that pay off in more ways than one.
They Practice Gratitude
This one might surprise you, but it’s a game-changer. Wealthy people practice gratitude for what they have, and that mindset attracts more abundance. So, take a moment to appreciate where you are now, and stay open to all the wealth on its way.
Action Steps to Build These Habits:
Pick One Habit to Start Today
Don’t overwhelm yourself! Start with one habit — like automating your savings or creating a budget. Small steps lead to big changes, babe.
