Rich people are often criticized for their unwillingness to spend their money, with some being referred to as ‘cheap’ and 'frugal'. However, some of their practices are quite beneficial, and regardless of your income, they could be quite useful for you and your family. Many wealthy people live well below their means in regards to spending money in order to give themselves a chance to save up quickly. Regardless of how much disposable income you have, you may want to consider investing in things like stocks to make a sufficient return. Although it's tempting to try out new products in the grocery store, being frugal involves sticking to your shopping list as best you can. Rich people are also consistent in paying off credit cards every month or other debt so they don't get stuck paying it back with high interest rates. Lastly, you should invest extra money in a vehicle that will be reliable for a long period of time and not settle for something that won’t last long.
