Does the Wealthy Buy on Impulse?

You see, there’s a reason they’re wealthy! If every wealthy person went out and purchased everything on mere impulse, we wouldn’t have very many wealthy people in this world. Once you are wealthy, if you want to maintain your financial stability, peace, and happiness, you can no longer purchase items on pure impulse.

Not only will you regret it later financially, you will be unhappy and lack peace because of suck reckless spending. I have noticed that wealthy people who built their wealth from hard work have a tendency to be a bit more mindful and cautious when it comes to spending recklessly. Perhaps there is a reason they have money?

Wealthy People Love Bargains

Just because you have the money to burn does not mean you should be irresponsible.

Point blank, you may have a lot of money, but that doesn’t mean you have to have a mansion.
