How Rich People Think About Money (Psychology of Money)
Summary
TLDRIn this video, Myron Golden explores the impact of psychological attitudes towards money on one's financial status. He argues that being rich, poor, or middle-class is less about the amount of money one has and more about one's mindset. Golden suggests that the belief that 'time is money' is a fallacy, emphasizing that time is more valuable than money. He outlines different money psychologies: the poor see money as for paying bills and buying things, the middle class use it to maintain credit and buy unaffordable items, while the rich view it as a tool to create more wealth. He encourages viewers to adopt a rich mindset, seeking opportunities to invest and grow their money.
