15 Things Rich People Never Do

Actions make a man. And if there's one thing that sets apart the rich from the poor it'd be their actions.

Here's a list of 15 things that rich people will never do and If you want to be wealthy, you should probably pay attention to it and I'm sure you'll find a few habits worth adopting.

And once their current goals are achieved, they will set their next goals at an even higher level. This enables them to not only explore new possibilities but to keep on climbing the ladder of success.

Having a flexible and versatile mind prevents them from sticking to one place that could potentially be disadvantageous in the dynamic world of today.

Rich people enjoy their achievements but are also very generous to the less privileged ones. Rich people thrive on the joy that comes with giving to charity. Since most of them clawed their way up the ladder of success from the bottom they empathize with the less fortunate.

They, therefore, offer support by engaging in various charitable and philanthropic activities that give back to society, like the betterment of public services in the health and education sectors. This feels especially justified and noble since wealth concentration is one of the causes of economic inequity in the world.

Although this is not common to all rich people, some of them are very much involved; even joining in the giving pledge which is a campaign that encourages the wealthy to give a major portion of their wealth to philanthropic causes with noteworthy examples being Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.

3. The Rich Never stays without a mentor.

Rich people always have mentors. In the records of success.com, 93% of the rich attributed their success to mentors. Sometimes even being their source of inspiration and motivation.

Mentoring ensures that knowledge, experience, and hard-won insight transfers from one person to another. The rich people benefit from this as they've had mentors to guide them on their way up. You rarely find millionaires making it on their own.

There is always a helping hand behind the scene that supports and guides them in the right way to success. Even Warren Buffet values Benjamin Graham's mentor stating that it was he who shaped his career.
