Sometimes I like to dream about sudden wealth, I go through what I will definitely buy, and what I will not fork out.

Elon Musk isn't anymore. world's richest. In 2023, the world’s richest man was met by Louis Vuitton owner Bernard Arnault. It is claimed that the French businessman’s fortune now exceeds $222 billion. But the new Twitter host, who last year behaved particularly strangely, was left far behind with his $193 billion.

Although such cosmic sums are not money in a wallet, but the total value of assets, which is constantly decreasing, then increasing depending on the stock price. So, in November 2021, the fortune of Elon Musk exceeded 340 billion dollars. But then Tesla shares fell, causing the American businessman to have only $140 billion in December 2022. minus 200 billion! What to say, who has a lot, has something to lose.



The richest man in the world 2023 Of course, rich people easily talk about wealth in the spirit of “money is not important.” However, they do have a different attitude to wealth, seeing money as an instrument rather than a higher value. They are treated accordingly, and are not wasted on many stupidities. Which ones?

1. Impulsive shopping
   The rich believe that every purchase must be justified. “If you buy what you don’t need, you’ll soon have to sell what you need.” – Warren Buffett Poor people often make unjustified purchases. They can yield to the persistent seller, can succumb to the momentary desire, can believe in a big discount. And then at home they do not know where to put this thing and why it is needed.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Expensive property
   Rich people prefer to find inexpensive real estate, which after a while can significantly rise in price. This is a long-term investment. Ordinary citizens try to buy a bigger house, which they can not even afford. As a result, such a home instead of a successful investment of money turns into a real burden.
   
   
   
   
3. Fashionable clothes
   Of course, the millionaire has the opportunity to buy the most fashionable clothes and shoes of elite brands. But often we see celebrities of the first magnitude and recognized rich appear in public in inexpensive clothes. Every such person knows that the main value is himself, his experience and knowledge, and not fashionable dresses and accessories. No one is surprised to see Bill Gates with a watch for $10. And Kate Middleton in her dresses for 50 or 100 dollars looks amazing, as befits the wife of the heir to the British throne.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Psychic and fortune teller services
   Smart people are used to relying on themselves and their analytical abilities, not on the dubious skills of some obscure person. And if you spend money on assistants, then we are talking about highly qualified specialists who perform specific tasks well (and help multiply the state).
   
   
   
   
5. Personal growth training
   It is the poor who seek to become rich that become the main target of various coaches. Only the lazy did not talk about the uselessness of all these trainings. However, there are still people who take loans to buy a “supermegacourse at a discount” or buy a ticket for a “unique performance” of another publicized chatterbox.
   
   
   
   
6. Expensive toys for children
   Often, a person with an average income lays out a large amount to please the child with another fashionable toy. But to what extent is such spending justified? Are they destroying the educational process? A rich man will not fill the children's room with an abundance of toys. After all, the child will not appreciate any of them, will continue to ask for new purchases. And too many opportunities for games will distract from other worries, from study. A sense of proportion and responsibility should be instilled from early childhood.
   
   
   
   
   
   
7. Holidays "in the big foot"
   Of course, the rich also like to relax and celebrate. But they try to use noisy events, for example, for useful acquaintances or strengthening existing connections. Ordinary people often spend exorbitant amounts just to walk well, to envy everyone. As a result, such profligacy can lead to complete financial collapse.
