The difference between poor and wealthy people goes way beyond fat bank accounts and expensive yachts; the biggest difference is the mindset.

The mindset of the rich causes them to do things differently than poor people which creates success in the long term.

10. Poor People Believe Money Is Evil

This may sound ridiculous, but believe it or not, some people believe that being rich is evil, and thus see all rich people as bad people and corrupt criminals. While this might be true sometimes — I mean, movies don’t always lie — having money doesn’t make you a bad person.

Money is like a two-edged sword, it can be used for both good and bad, which means that however a rich person turns out, it all boils down to their individual personalities.

However, most poor people don’t understand this and convince themselves that striving for wealth is evil and become comfortable with a paycheck that caters only to their basic needs.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but, it’s not the money that makes you good or bad, it’s who you are as a person.

9. Rich People Take Responsibility
