I know a person that has practically every bad habit imaginable. I feel bad for those that get sucked into his orbit and I watch as they take on the same terrible habits as him. It seems as if every person that comes into contact with him is worse off than they were before. I don’t know what to do. I wish he would just “go away”…permanently.

Thanks for the article, I agree with it and most of the posters have good points also. It is often easy to know what to do but hard to actually do it because you are arguing against yourself.

Your close friends and community will ALWAYS affect the way you live. When I hang around friends who don’t have the same interests as me (politics, business, investing, etc.) I don’t find as much enjoyment in our conversation as those who are also very curious about the subjects. If I want to become better at investing, it is best for me to connect with others who are interested in investing or who WANT to get better at investing.

Ning, have you ever heard that a bad habit is formed, once we’re practiced a habit daily for over 3 weeks? In order to lose the bad habit away, we cannot repeat our bad habit for the consecutive 6 weeks of time. However, if you have the inner strength, you’ll be able to lose the bad habit away…

It takes time to change a habit but i think being driven by a goal and giving it time, as they say it takes at least 21 days to change a habit, will help your mindset shift to achieve what you want.

Being brought up in a frugal family certainly has a good influence on your spending patterns and financial sense as you grow up.

Well put. My parents always strived to surround me with people who were successful. From a young age, I was guided by people who set a good example and had the right mindset to be successful. As a result, I’m able to succeed far quicker than most and I’m grateful of everyone I was closed with.

Find people with similar styles and mentalities to you and help each other break the habits together. Same way people have work out buddies to motivate themselves.

Like you pointed out, parents have to teach children the value of money from a young age, so that they can manage their expenses once they step into the real world. As a child, I always used to odd jobs around the house to earn a little extra pocket money, and since this was money I had earned with hard work, I was very careful of what I spent it on.

This is so very very true. Our peers affect the way we think and feel about everything daily.

That’s why people will go to great lengths to have their kids go to a pricey private school. It’s not so much for the education but it’s for the connections their kids can have.
