So here's a follow-up question.
I think we've determined the poor get poorer due to their choices and the Rich get richer due to their choices. What is the easiest way for the the average person to start making better choices to not only move towards the Rich category, but to start attracting more and more money?
Thanks,

Get these right and you will be rich:
1. Marry a spouse with excellent character and who is educated for a high paying career.
2. Choose a high paying career that does not force you to generate high student loans, and a career that will be in demand 20+ years from now and provides you a high salary.
3. Develop a profound sense of delayed gratification.
4. Save like crazy.
5. Don't buy too much house.
6. Drive the smallest vehicle you can fit your family into.
7. Don't have more kids then you can afford because having too many is not fair to them nor to you. Use a birthcontrol system.
8. Don't be into flash, nor status, nor worry what other people think of you...doing so is shallow and can cause financial ruin.
9. Dump friends that are not like minded.
10. Don't get a vice (smoking, alcohol abuse, drugs, friend foods, etc)
11. Run your househould like a corporation: justify every financial decision and determine Rate of Return.
12. Vote Republican (but not for Bush/McCain/Palin types) ;-)
There you have it!
