It would be really cool if you could see your future, wouldn’t it? Then you could finally stop worrying and start feeling secure about stuff like money and how much of it you’re going to have. Well, we’re not psychics, so we can’t tell you the exact numbers but we can give you some tell-tale signs that you’re going to become wealthy. Did someone say “cha-ching?”
1. You’re an overachiever.
You’re not satisfied with just doing the job. If you’re going to do something, you’re going to do it to the best of your ability. You shoot for the stars in everything you do and, even if something is successful, you’re always looking at how it can be more successful. That’s a hugely important mindset when it comes to wealth.
2. You started making money at a young age.
You pretty much had an entrepreneurial spirit as soon as you came into this world. Whether that was a lemonade stand, tutoring, or a high school side hustle you’ve been on the lookout for cash for a long time now and there’s no way you’re stopping anytime soon.
3. You’re optimistic.
Instead of thinking things like “I don’t have enough money,” you think “How can I make more money?” That kind of thinking is exactly what sets you apart from the rest of the pack—you accept the challenges as they come and find ways to overcome them.
4. You have thick skin.
When life or other people knock you down, you’re always able to get right back up. That doesn’t mean you’re made of stone, it means that you’re able to see past society’s norms or people’s opinions. You have a goal and nothing anyone says is going to stop you.
5. You can differentiate needs from wants.
In the world of TikTok and Instagram, it can be super easy to get caught up in having the trendy item du jour. Not you, though. You’re able to cut through the advertising noise and filter out the things you actually need from the big pile of “wants.” The bottom line: you don’t waste your money.
6. You have a sense of urgency.
When you have an idea, you don’t hesitate to act on it. You know that sitting back, waiting, and thinking about what you want to do gets you nowhere. You have ideas now and there’s no better time to execute the present.
7. You set clear goals.
Most people don’t just happen upon wealth, it’s something that they’ve worked towards for quite some time. You know that, which is why you set goals for yourself and spend a lot of time thinking about your future. This mindset is ripe for calling in wealth.
8. You’re financially educated.
You take the time to seek out advice, tips, and money-making strategies. You know what’s going on with your personal finances at all times and you’re well-versed in best practices when it comes to investing, saving, and other wealth-building tools.
9. You’re adaptable.
The money landscape can be volatile—the market, tech, and economic conditions are constantly shifting. If you want to build wealth, then you have to be able to adjust accordingly. You pay attention to what’s happening and modify your strategies to match it.
10. You’re decisive.
You know what you want, so you don’t waste time mulling over decisions. In fact, studies have shown that people who had a certain amount of wealth had a habit of getting to their decisions pretty quickly. There’s a reason they say that time equals money, right?
11. You surround yourself with other successful people.
Ever heard of the saying “you are the company you keep?” When you surround yourself with other wealthy and successful people, that primes you for wealth and success, too. Being around people who have what you want or are on a similar path to you can serve as inspiration and expand your way of thinking.
12. You save to invest.
When you save, you don’t let your money just sit in an account collecting dust. You make sure your money is making money! Though it sounds simple, your wealth isn’t measured by how much you make, but rather how much you’re putting away (plus interest).
13. You have specific money goals.
You’re not just sitting there thinking, “I just want a lot of money.” No, you go one step further, and dream about how you’ll use it. That may be starting a business, providing for your family, or creating a new product—whatever it is, when you have a targeted vision, it’s easier to achieve.
14. You think big.
You’ve never heard of or had an idea where you thought “that’s impossible.” You set your expectations high and aren’t afraid of tackling those huge, seemingly “crazy” ideas. That sets you apart from a lot of people and shows your ability to do what no one else can.
15. You’re always improving.
When something isn’t working, instead of trying to make a square peg fit in a round hole, you go back to the drawing board. That means you’re not too precious or high-ego about stuff, you know that in order to get to where you want to be (read: wealthy) you have to have a certain level of flexibility.
