There is a common perception that when a man becomes wealthy his negative qualities become pronounced. This may be very true because wealth usually comes with a new lifestyle and attitude.
Wealth puts rich people in the spotlight. More people judge their actions and make comments about what they do and what they don’t.
So, when you find yourself living in money anytime soon, these seven lessons from John Rampton can help you sustain your wealth.
With a lot of money, you’ll always have the tendency to flaunt your wealth which many people could translate as oppression. But with humility, the desire to show off your wealth in an offensive manner can be suppressed.
2. Treat people well
3. Know how to invest your money
4. Find the things that make you happy
When you know what makes you happy, you can buy it with your money. No one wants to be rich and live a sad life.
5. Surround yourself with the right people
6. Be frugal
No matter how wealthy you are you still have to be frugal. You have to be very conscious of how your money is spent. Even when you have excess, you don’t have to throw it around. Instead, put it into a better use either by investing or donating to charity.
7. Manage your ego
When you have a lot of money, you’ll most likely establish a mindset that you are better than the people around you. This can be detrimental and this is why you have to manage your ego.
Don’t let your wealth oppress anybody, keep a cool head and be nice to everyone around you.
