15 Things Poor People Do That The Rich Don’t

 

I know that many of you are on your way to [achieving] financial success

So I wanted to put together a list of things that poor people do which guarantees our mediocrity.

Please take all of these with a grain of salt and realize these are here to make you think about your current situation.And what you could do to better yourself?

As always there are plenty of exceptions to these rules not everyone is in control of those circumstances

But being aware of these habits and activities might give you a slight edge and who knows if you stop doing them

Maybe you'd be closer to that goal. You've been dreaming about here are 15 things poor people do that the rich don't

Number One. Poor people watch a lot of TV

Let me put it this way if you [have] [the] time to watch reality TV you're probably poor. It's always amazing how much time poor people waste on Meaningless television

It's one of those distractions that grabs you and doesn't let go [if] you know which celebrity is dating who and if you're watching TV shows every week as the episodes come on if you have a favorite news channel

You're probably watching too much television hence why your life is the way it is let us explain celebrity gossip and buzz offers no value to your life.It only serves the celebrities ,rich people aim to be on TV instead of watching it you might say.

But rich people are watching as a big bang theory which is a really funny show and it helps them disconnect.That's exactly the issue you disconnect from your problems instead of dealing with them and getting them out of the way there are rare occasions

where in the words of John Lennon time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time?

But really think about it should sitting and slide watching a screen be something you really enjoy [doing]

Before we move forward to the second thing poor people - let me explain what we meant by having a favorite news channel you might

Say that the only good reason to watch TV is to be aware of what's happening in the world staying informed the problem

we're seeing with this is that ,TV stations are always biased in order to pick their own [Magenta]instead use the power of the internet ,to get a quick glimpse of what the world is like today and move on to do your own thing.

Number two [Poor] people eat fast food


Health is really important and many poor [people] have no interest in [knowing]. What's in their food?What an actual healthy meal should look like or barely know anything about nutrition?

Poor people are blasting their brains with large quantities [of] [sugar] and fats with no nutritional value

They are actively ruining their bodies and as in effect they cannot perform at 100% of their potential [if] you're not healthy all aspects of your [life] are directly affected ,you'll suffer physically ,mentally,professionally and even romantically

Number three. Poor people buy clothes or products [that] are on sale

Let me put it this way the only thing you should buy on sale are stocks.

While poor people are looking to conserve or stretch the little that they have ,the rich are focused on increasing their incomes.

Just think about it, the clothes that end up being on sale are the ones that [people] who could [afford] to pay the full price didn't want by buying clothes on sale. You're just making sure that you're looking exactly like someone who can't afford to pay the full price.

Number four. Poor people wake up later than rich people do in their early years

Poor people are often lazier than the rich in the early days.

We know that some of you will be bothered a lot by the previous statement, but statistically It's the truth . Someone who used their youth to grow themselves, is a lot less likely [to] remain poor later on in life instead [if] you wake up late.

Don't educate yourself waste time on meaningless activities ,at one point you'll find yourself so far behind what the world needs from you that you'll end up miserable. The Paradox is that people who do not focus on growth in the early days, end up working a lot harder with little success rate later in life .

Number [5]

Where people are really into sports

The truth is unless you're a professional athlete or an owner of one of the teams[there's] really no reason for you to watch sports. It's the same with television. It's escapism from your current reality.

Think of it like this, you're putting yourself in a position where you as an individual have no impact on the outcome of the game.

Zero Impact this behavior then sticks with you and you end up being a spectator in life, instead of being [a] player or an owner?

And that's when you start criticizing other people when you yourself haven't done anything better.

Number six. Poor people don't shower as often as rich people who initially we thought this was just a made-up fact

But it turns out to be true and amazingly . It explains a lot when you really think about it.

Most of the jobs today are in the service industries where human contact is a must, in order to have a successful exchange of value.People who don't have good personal hygiene will in time be less successful than their counterparts.

People tend to trust them ,less people want to spend less time when their presence and all of this has ramifications.

In their personal life if people don't like you and don't want to be around you ,what kind of partners will you attract exactly?It might seem ridiculous, but the first step to success should be an early morning shower

Number seven. Poor people blame others for their misfortune

How many people do you know that have some sort [of] excuse or blame other factors for not being successful yet?There are some things that are out of our control but 99% of your life is on you.

Remember that you are in charge of your life. You [are] in charge of your relationships you are in charge of your health you want these to change do something about it life is [not]. What happens to us it's how we react to what happens to us.

When something bad [happens] the poor choose to victimize themselves while the rich look into it study it.

They seek [to] find out what happened.Why it happened and how they can protect from it in the future?

While one assumes the position of vulnerable victim the other uses it as a growing point.

Number eight. Poor people have no money saved

One of the differences between poor people and the rich is that the former don't get ready for what's next.Having money put aside allows for Growth

Let's say something bad happens if you have money put aside the problem is solved,and you can resume your life. if you don't and the situation is urgent[what] do you do you either liquidate an asset like your car house?Or you can take a loan for the rich when the situation is overthey're left in the same position - the savings

While for someone who's poor their lifestyle has been dramatically hit or now belongs to the creditor now.

Let's look at the exact opposite an opportunity arises

Those who have money put aside?

Now have the chance to expand their lives while the other can't afford to take a full advantage of this opportunity

That's why the rich are growing richer while the poor are getting poorer?

Number [9] . Poor people use credit cards or take out loans for useless things

One of the main differences between rich and poor is how they make use of credit?

The rule is simple if you take out a loan to buy something that doesn't generate more money than the loan don't take it.

You should only use credit [if] what you'll be using it for is an investment

Want to take out a loan for a large TV?

Don't want a loan to buy that new supreme gear don't want to use credit cards to get the new iphone Don't.

Unless you're flipping the supreme gear for profit or you're using your iphone to develop a new app to grow your business.

[These] items should not be on your credit, instead earn the money and then spend it. You'll learn more about this on number 12 number.

Number 10. Poor people tend to have more kids and earlier in [life] the truth

Is kids are really really expensive we all know how fun it is [to] make them or at least?

Practice making them but people get stuck up to this point. They don't think it's true

Just to give you a sense of perspective if you're living in one of the more developed countries raising a child will cost you approximately the [hundred] and fifty thousand dollars because [of] a lack of education.

That environment and other factors poor people have on average [more] children and at a younger age than their rich counterparts while the rich wait a couple of years until their standards of living improve in order to assure the right environment and prime conditions for their child to flourish the poor just go ahead with it.

Once the baby comes the struggling begins just so they can stay afloat and progress Beyond barely surviving is almost impossible to achieve.

Number Eleven. Poor people do not do regular checks

They're doctors

We've touched on the importance of health in the past, but this is an especially important point for people. Do not get themselves checked regularly

Let's say by mere chance you end up having a difficult disease like cancer, if you do regular check-up you'll discover in early Stages making the treatment possible at a lower cost. [if] on the other hand you neglect to do so you might discover it only when it's too late it will cost both you and your entire family of Fortune.

And no matter how much money you have you might still lose your life

Number 12. Poor people spend money before they get it

One of the biggest dangers in life is spending money before you have it . The second you start borrowing money or acquiring expenses before you're able to pay them .Your life starts to spiral down if you don't have money for something that you're [willing] to part with without affecting your life, then you can't afford it .go back to work

 Number 13. Poor people surround themselves with other poor people.

One of the ways [people] make sure they stay poor is by associating themselves or hanging out with other poor people that reinforce their core beliefs. You need people around you that will inspire you and push you further, that are doing incredible [things] themselves,whose success will only motivate you to exceed your current reality .

If you're hanging out with the same people you did when you were young,you might want to double check.

Don't be afraid to step away from a crowd and move on to something better if you don't. Your potential will probably be crushed by those who want to feel better about their miserable lives by making [sure] you suffer the same fate?

Number 14. Poor people never follow through on their ideas or potential.

You're not able to control who your parents are,where you are born or [the] way society treats you. The only thing you can control is the amount of hours you put into your dream.

Every single person alive only has 24 hours per day,and yet some do a lot more than others. If you dedicate yourself to learning and implementing more about what you're passionate about,It's only a matter of time until you reach success.

You've heard that 9 out [of] 10 businesses fail in their first three [years]. Well do you know how many businesses fail because they never got started ?The answer is all of them if you have an idea.

Work on it, put it out, get feedback, improve it, launch again and again and again.

Number 15. Poor people believe that others should help them reach the top the [world] doesn't owe you anything

Nobody does believe it or not you're in this by yourself. You are in charge

What happens in your life?

The thing is everyone believes when they're young that they're going to be successful, but then [reality] happens this world

We're living in rewards only the best the best those that never quit those that keep learning.Keep adapting and understand that nobody will solve their problems for them.

Face them head-on and along the way you might meet people who feel the [same] way and might share parts of the journey with you.Otherwise you'll just be a part of that majority that's meant to fail

If you know someone who's guilty of any of these 15 things,please try to help him/ her by showing him these 15 ideas and hopefully he/ she will change.

Please write. I will be rich in the [comments] section make your desires public so we can keep you accountable for them.

 


DON’T DO THIS When Feeding Baby | Things That Cause Feeding Aversion

Did you know there are things you may be doing, most likely without knowing it, that could lead to your baby developing a negative association with eating food?

I’m going to cover the top 5 mistakes I see parents make that could lead to the development of feeding aversion.Babies can have a feeding aversion towards taking breastmilk, formula or food.

I equip parents with knowledge, so they can care for their children with confidence.My definition of feeding aversion is that a baby who is physically capable of feeding or eating - so this means the child doesn’t have a medical or developmental reasons that affects the ability to eat solids - but shows partial or full refusal of food.

An aversion is the avoidance of a thing or situation that the baby associates to be an unpleasant, stressful or painful stimulus.Keep in mind that when we’re starting solids we’re laying the foundation for the baby’s eating patterns, and their perception of food and the feeding experience.

Therefore we want to create a positive association with eating and give babies an opportunity to start learning how to listen to their hunger and fullness cues.

With most of the things  a lot of parents do at least one of them,but they don’t realize that it’s causing the baby to have a negative experience and can potentially lead to the development of feeding aversion when giving your baby food, but what you can do to correct it. 

The first thing that you should not do, is start solids too early.And by this I mean introducing the baby to food when the baby is not developmentally ready to start solids. Many parents start their baby on solids as early as 4 months, even though is advisable to be started around 6 months.

There are certain developmental signs that the baby should be showing that indicate a readiness to safely start taking solids.And by 6 months of age is typically when most babies show all of these developmental signs.

I’m going to briefly mention them so you know what I’m referring to:

- the baby should be able to sit upright with little to no support.

-The baby needs to have good head control.

-The baby should no longer have the tongue thrust reflex, which is also known as the tongue protrusion reflex.

-The baby needs to be showing an interest in food.

The baby should be reaching for and grasping objects and bringing them to the mouth. It’s not until around 6 months that most babies will be showing all of these signs.

So what’s the big deal if you start giving the baby food too early?Not only can starting too early cause the baby to have digestive upset, but for some babies it can be a negative and frustrating experience when they're truly not prepared.

Also starting solids before a baby is developmentally ready increases the likelihood for gagging and choking episodes to happen.

These make for very unpleasant mealtime experiences that can lead to the baby developing a negative association with eating solids.

So if you’ve started solids and are realizing that you started too early, and your babyis not developmentally ready for it, then stop giving the food and go back to solely giving breastmilk or formula until your baby is showing all the signs of readiness to take food.

And if your baby was born premature or has other underlying medical conditions, you might need to to wait a little longer before your baby is ready for solids.

The second thing that can lead to the baby developing feeding aversion, is spoon feedingincorrectly.Did you know that there’s a right and a wrong way to spoon feed?Many parents place the spoon towards the top of the baby’s mouth and at an angle.

And then they scrape the food off the upper lip or gums so it comes off the spoon.Scraping food off a spoon is not the normal, natural way for a baby to eat.

And offering the spoon at an angle causes the baby’s head to be tilted up and back,which is not a good position to facilitate a safe and comfortable swallow.

If you think about the position of your head when you’re eating, it’s typically in a neutral or slightly downward and forward position instead of being up and back.It’s definitely easier to swallow when the head is in the neutral position or a little down and forward.

Instead of dumping the food into the baby’s mouth by scraping it off the top lip or gums,we want the baby to learn to suck the food off the spoon.

Babies develop better lip control and movement by actively being involved in removing the puree off the spoon.

Also spoon feeding correctly helps position the baby’s tongue in the proper place to push food back towards the throat to swallow.

 The steps you can take to ensure that you’re spoon feeding correctly.

a) You should be sitting instead of standing when feeding the baby.While standing, you will have the tendency to offer the spoon at an angle, and the position of your baby’s head will be up and back in order to be able to look at you.This makes it more difficult to swallow comfortably.

b )Start with just the tip of the spoon dipped in the puree.Then gradually work up to offering a spoonful.Hold the spoon several inches in front of your baby's face, parallel to the feeding tray, instead of at an angle.

Wait for the baby to notice the spoon and open the mouth.Gently place the spoon on top of the tongue and hold it there until the baby closes the lips around the spoon.Then remove it straight back out of the mouth.This allows the baby to suck the puree off the spoon while you are bringing it straight out of the mouth.

Give your baby time to move the puree back and swallow.This typically takes a second or two.When you’re just starting solids, the baby may push some of the food back out and then swallow.

With time, this forward/backward motion will begin to fade and the baby will start to swallow more food.If you’re finding this information helpful, hit the thumbs up button below.

c )The third thing you should not do is force the spoon into the baby’s mouth or have battles over the spoon with your baby.

Some well-meaning parents, out of loving concern for their baby’s physical wellbeing start to pressure, force or trick the baby to eat.

They hate doing it, but keep forcing the food into the baby’s mouth because they worry that the baby will not gain enough weight or will become unwell if they don’t get the baby to eat what they believe is the amount of food the baby should be eating.

However ,when babies are pressured or forced to eat, it becomes an unpleasant or stressful feeding experience.

When repeated, the baby can develop an aversion to feeding.This sets up a vicious cycle.Due to developing a feeding aversion, the baby will fuss or refuse to feed, which in turn stresses the parents out and makes them feel compelled to force the baby to feed.

By doing this, they are unknowingly reinforcing their baby’s feeding aversion.

c )Another thing that I see is that some babies grab for the spoon, and want to be in charge of guiding it into their mouths, especially as they get older.Or they want to keep holding onto the spoon after it’s removed from the mouth.

Some parents end up getting into a tug-of-war with the baby over the spoon so they can continue to put puree onto the spoon to feed the baby.But this can cause the baby to develop a negative association with eating.

I know that most parents are very nervous when it comes to feeding their baby solids and find it difficult to figure out how much to offer.

Wouldn’t it just be easier if the baby would say, “I’m done, I don’t want to eatanymore?”Fortunately even before they can speak, babies do show cues as their way of communicating.

When the baby refuses to open the mouth to take more food, turns away from the spoon,loses interest in continuing to eat, or starts becoming very fussy during the meal, those are signs that the baby is done and we should not try to make the baby eat more.

Babies need to develop an awareness and learn to trust their fullness cues.

Something I find helps parents keep it in perspective is knowing that the baby will most likely only take a few teaspoons at each meal in the first weeks of starting solids.

Breastmilk or formula will continue to be the baby’s primary source of nutrition and solids will just be complementary.

For most babies it’s not until 8 or 9 months that they really start taking to solids.Babies need to learn how to safely take and swallow food first before they increase the amount of solids they take.

Ultimately we want babies to grow up to be independent eaters, so from day one, we should let them be the ones in control of how much or little they eat at each meal.

As far as how to respond when the baby grabs the spoon, this is a sign of progression in the baby’s development and should be encouraged and celebrated.I recommend getting short handled baby self-feeding spoons, such as the Tiny Spoons from ezpz.

You can put puree onto the spoon and lay it onto the tray close to your child to pick-upor hand it to your baby to self-feed.The great thing is that the ezpz spoons come as a 2 pack.So while your baby is eating puree off of one spoon, you can preload the other spoon and have it ready to go.


d )The fourth thing you should not do is scrape or wipe food off the baby’s face during the meal.Obviously after the feeding session is over, you need to clean the baby, so then it’sfine for you to wash or wipe the baby up.Most babies get very fussy and upset when their faces are wiped.

The process of learning to eat is going to be a messy one.It’s all part of the experience.When we scrape food off the baby’s face with the spoon or wipe the face in between bites, we end up creating negative sensory experiences during the meal.

So I encourage you to let your baby get messy.Put a bib on and cover the floor with a splash mat to make clean-up easier, but hold off on cleaning your child until the end of the meal.

 e )fifth thing that you should not do is stay on purees for too long.Pureed food feels safe for parents who worry about the baby choking on regular foods.As a result, some parents continue to offer only pureed foods to their child for much longer than necessary.

Babies become familiar with taking their feeds as smooth purees, and have more difficult accepting different textures as they get older.

A research study found that babies who were not introduced to other textures besides purees by 9 months, had significantly more feeding problems and limited diets as they got older.

We find that babies who experience more textures and flavors early on, are less likely to be picky eaters.Babies aren't meant to be on pureed food for life.

The goal of weaning from breastmilk or formula is to transition them to eat real food that the rest of the family is eating.Of course this happens as a progression over several months.

But after a week or two of your baby taking smooth puree with ease, there is no reason why you can’t transition to offering a more lumpy texture of puree and finger foods.

By 6 months, most babies are able to grab and bring things to the mouth.Therefore there is no reason to doubt their ability to self-feed strips of food starting as early as 6 months.This will allow for exposure to a greater variety of textures.

The safe size of finger food to offer a baby who is 6 to about 8 to 9 months of age is as a strip that is about the thickness of an adult pinky finger.

And once the baby develops the pincer grasp, which is the ability to pick things up using the tip of the thumb and index finger, you can offer smaller pieces of food.Did you know that babies are no more likely to choke on finger foods than purees?
