Building wealth isn’t just about making money, it’s also about the habits and decisions you develop. Over time, these habits can significantly affect a person’s financial trajectory. Understanding the traps that the middle class often fall into but that the wealthy can avoid can help you to have a mindset that is closer to that of the rich.
