Do you have the personality to get rich? According to an article today on Yahoo! Finance, the key to getting rich is your attitude toward money.
The key traits include (see which ones apply to you)
1) patience to wait to buy something until you get a good deal;
2) satisfaction with your life, cushioning you from buying to make yourself feel better;
3) organization in your finances, so you don't pay late fees, buy two of an item, etc.;
4) discipline to save for longterm goals;
5) reflectiveness, to learn from your financial mistakes;
6) creativity in juggling money to stay out of debt, finding a cheaper alternative, making something last longer, etc.;
7) curiosity to learn and improve yourself;
8) taking calculated risks;
9) setting and working toward goals;
10) hard work and nourishing the traits in this list that you have and working towards obtaining the ones you don't have.
I definitely have curiosity and work to improve myself, I can take calculated risks, and I am good at setting and working towards goals. I can be pretty good at juggling money--but I think I need to work on the rest!
