One Trait That Wealthy People DON’T Have

Most People Spend Their Time Worrying

I call them fucking Golden State Worryers.

You ever tell a friend like “Im headed to Orange County later” and they’re like “😦😦😦Ahh dude you should see how bad the traffic might be.. there’s potholes on the 91.. did you hear about that accident on-“

SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.

Don’t be that friend🥰

Most people spend more time worrying about their problems than they do solving them.
I don’t say that to be harsh—I’ve been there too.

But one group of people come to mind, and in the short time I’ve spent around truly wealthy people, I’ve noticed something: they don’t approach problems the same way.

Also, not rich people,
Wealthy people.

There’s a difference.

The Easy Assumption

The first thing most people assume is: “Of course they don’t worry. They have money.”

That’s not the whole truth.
They still have plenty to worry about, health, kids, relationships (just ask James Sexton).

What’s different is they’ve solved one of life’s most exhausting problems: not having enough money.
And that’s a damn good problem to solve, because it changes the way you deal with everything else.

Instead of sitting in the worry, they move quickly into action.
Instead of letting problems stretch out for months or years, they compress the timeline and get them resolved.

It’s not that their lives are perfect. It’s that the time between realizing a problem -> worrying about the problem -> creating a solution -> executing the solution is MUCH MUCH shorter than I’ve seen myself and others.

Wealth as a Skill

While wealth is defined by money in the bank,
It’s also a skillset. A way of moving through the world.

Ed Mylett tells the story of his daughter chipping her tooth in the backyard, and while still carrying some worry, called the Dentist in Laguna Beach, had him do a house call to fix the tooth, and stroked the $20k check and all was resolved.

Yes, money solved that problem. But what happened in between, take the money out of it, he spared the worry, he acted fast, cut the time waiting for Monday when the Dentist is in office, decided fast who he’d go to and was resolved in hours.
For most people, that would become a source of stress for days—researching options, worrying about cost, maybe even putting it off until it became a bigger problem.

Ed was decisive, and was solutions oriented because they knew lingering wouldn’t make it cheaper or easier.

That’s the skill wealthy people develop: the reflex of solving problems head-on, right away.

Achieving and Maintaining

Another thing I’ve noticed: wealthy people don’t just know how to get something, they know how to keep it.

I’ve heard countless people talk about losing weight. For years, they’ll say they want to change.

The other wealthy person in mind mentioned it once. A couple months later, he looked completely different.Barely complained, barely boasted, just did it. And here’s the kicker: he didn’t just lose the weight, he kept it off.

That’s another wealth skill.
Not just achieving results, but nurturing them. Protecting them. Watering them like a plant.

Because what’s the point of solving a problem once if you let it creep back in?

A Skill You Can Practice Now

Here’s the part most people miss: you don’t need to be wealthy to start practicing this.

You can learn to worry once, then move straight into action.
You can train yourself to compress the time between “I see a problem” and “I’m solving the problem.”
You can get better at holding onto the progress you’ve made instead of letting it slip.

Wealth gives you resources, sure. But the real advantage is the perspective and the habits.
And those are things you can start building today.

The Big Question

If you can learn to think and act like a wealthy person now,
If you can practice the same habits of solving, maintaining, and moving forward,

What’s really stopping you from becoming… wealthy like them?
