Helping Time-Poor Investors: Super Parents Raise Kids Who Become the 1%

In my five-year study of the habits of the rich and poor, one of the most profound discoveries I made was the vast difference in the habits the rich and the poor learned from their parents.

Parents who raised children who became rich and successful in life taught them very specific success habits that they took with them into their adult lives.

These unique daily habits provided a foundation of success that enabled their kids to excel and succeed in life. superhero

Conversely, those who experienced poverty in their adult lives were unintentionally taught specific Poverty Habits by their parents which created a foundation of poverty that followed them into their adult lives, creating a generational cycle of poverty.

My research uncovered one overriding fact: Parents are responsible for poverty, the wealth gap and income inequality in America.

Not Wall Street, not the economy, not the 1%, not government policies, not your life’s circumstances – Parents!

In my book Rich Kids – How to Raise Our Children to be Happy and Successful in Life I set out to list the hundreds of habits, behaviors, choices and thinking that the rich and the poor learned from their parents.

My objective is simple: to end the cycle of generational poverty and enable kids to live the life they were intended to live.

Let me share with you some of the habits, behaviors, choices and thinking prevalent in Super Parent households:
