I only know one rich person.

He’s my boss.

He’s a Silicon Valley type who somehow wound up working at a university. He says things like, “I’m too smart to do that.” He also says things like, “The money doesn’t matter” and “I don’t need this job.”

I actually know another rich person. He flies to a new country every weekend, while talking trash about teachers.

There’s at least 7 things that rich people say all the time. They say them in books, on podcasts, on blogs, and from the stage of endless seminars that fund their vacations. Their advice is just like all the plastic trash floating in the ocean. It’s pure mind pollution.

We’re better off without it.

Let’s begin.

1. They earned their money.

You see this one everywhere.

The internet is just full of stories about some wealthy 20-something who managed to retire early.

They’re all the same.

They live off their parents, which allows them to invest their entire salary in the stock market for years. Then they launch a personal finance service and start blogging about money.
