I just had a conversation with a man who complained that through his whole life he's never had enough money and a couple of times that he did have some good luck related to money, it disappeared as fast as it came.
And his story made me think about this:
Ear size and shape, nose, eye color, hair color... All these things can be passed on from your parents.
Height, teeth, fingers, athleticism, strength, bonestructure... Again, these can be passed down from your parents and their parents and their parents...
But financial health (or absence of it) cannot be passed down genetically. No it cannot. There is no rich gene or poor gene.And it is not a disease (to the chagrin of Big Pharma).
Just because your parents have always been living hand to mouthdoes not mean that you must as well.
Just like being raised in a wealthy family does not guaranteethat you will be wealthy yourself.
What makes wealth appear to be passed down through familiescomes not typically from a literal financial support fromwealthy parents to their children (although sadly that doeshappen -- and it creates lifelong financial cripples of thechildren).
No, it comes because the children of self-made people learntheir parent's attitudes about money and about learning skillsthat attract piles of money.
So if you were unlucky enough to be born into a household wheremoney will was usually in short supply, you never got to learnhow rich people think.
You learned the mindset of lack...
And so if you want to have piles of money and lots of zeros(after another number, of course) in your investment accounts,you gotta, gotta, gotta learn how people who create wealth fromnothing think about money...
If you don't you keep getting what you've always gotten.
