As far as comparisons go, Iām off to a bad start! :( If Iām being honest, Iāve probably only gotten a couple of hours of reading in during the past few weeks.Ā Wait, can we include blogs and reading finance news on the Internet?ā¦Ā If so, I definitely do that 30+ mins each day!

Furthermore, 63% of wealthy people spend less than 1 hour daily āsurfing the Internet.ā
Well, I guess I FAIL in this category, too. My wife and I usually spend about 1 hour watching TV each night, maybe a little more if weāre hooked on a fun series (like our most recent fav, Ted Lasso). But, this TV habit will be kicked shortly when we invite a little one into our home and all our free time disappears! ;)

Woohoo! I definitely align with this one. I love what I do for work currently ā and so does my wife!
Probably the most interesting thing I learned about this survey question is how the financially struggling people answeredā¦ While most ārichā people liked what they did,Ā 96% of āpoorā people said they did NOT like what they did for a living.
Surprising? Not surprising? Maybe when you have financial stability it changes the way you perceive your work?

This makes sense. Whatās the point of accumulating a bunch of money if youāre not healthy enough (or alive) to enjoy spending it!? Investing your money coincides with investing in your health.
My wife and I work out at least 4 times a week. Lately, itās been more like 6 times a week!Ā Ā (Again, this habit will probably go out the window when we have kids haha.)

Other frugal stats for millionaires:
30% of wealthy people clip coupons
8% shop at thrift stores!
This dispels the myth that rich people splash around money without thinking. Itās actually the oppositeā¦ Most wealthy people are quite intentional with spending, looking for added value and discounts wherever possible. My wife and I are proud to say we align well with this spending habit. We love us some Goodwill bargains.Ā

Ah, crap. Not only did my wife and I blow $8k+ on vacations last year ($4k on our Hawaii trip alone), but this year weāve got $10k in our travel budget! Oooops.
But, this is a habit Iām OK not conforming to. Vacationing is something I want to incorporateĀ moreĀ into my life, not less. Well, thatās how I feel todayā¦ Maybe Iāll be singing a different tune later in life.Ā

Only 6% of surveyed wealthy people buy lottery tickets. Whereas,Ā 77% percent of survey respondents who struggle financially play the lottery weekly.Ā
My wife and I donāt play the weekly lotto. But we love going to Vegas every now and then and playing craps (at the cheapest table we can find). Gambling can be funā¦ But not as a lifestyle!
(Ooooh this reminds me, I have to write a post about a book I read calledĀ The Luck FactorĀ which has a great section on āluckyā people and how they pick lotto numbers.)
