What is the biggest difference between the rich and the unsuccessful? For starters, the unsuccessful blame circumstances like the economy while the wealthy do not.

The wealthy make money, not excuses.
Financial planner and author of Rich Habits Tom Corely spent more than 5 years observing the daily differences between 350 rich and poor people.
He studied how they:

Live, Work, Sleep, Eat, Exercise Etc.

At least 3.2 million in assets

The criteria Tom used for “poor” in this study included:

$30K yearly income

The main differences he found in this study had more to do with the daily habits of the “rich” compared with those of the “poor”.
