By John Rampton<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The rich folks in the world think and act differently than everyone else. The thing is, a lot of the wealthiest people not only had to earn their wealth, but now they also have to add to it and maintain it. If you ever wanted to know how they achieved that sort of financial success, you have to start with what the rich know about money.<\/p>\n

Here are seven things that the world\u2019s richest people know about money.<\/p>\n

1. Money equals freedom.<\/h2>\n

Kevin O’Leary, the successful Canadian businessman and investor on\u00a0Shark Tank,\u00a0once said that\u00a0“Money equals freedom.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 That\u2019s something that the rich realize. While money can\u2019t\u00a0buy\u00a0freedom, having enough money to not only meet your basic needs, like food or shelter, it gives you the freedom\u00a0to choose what you want to do, when you want to do it.<\/p>\n

Tired of your boss or job? You’ll have the freedom to quit, if you want, which makes any job more palatable. Want to plan a vacation to Hawaii? No problem, you are personally choosing your hours and how early or late you will work. Want to launch a new business venture? You have the means and networking contacts to pursue this dream. What happens when you get sick? You can afford the best doctors and medical care.<\/p>\n

2. Look for investments every day.<\/h2>\n

The rich are always thinking about the future, which is why they are constantly on the lookout for new investment opportunities in everyday life. Whether it\u2019s their teenager informing them about the latest social media platform or finding a new food item in the grocery store, the rich\u00a0how to spot ways to increase their wealth,\u00a0no matter where they are. They always listen, even if they don\u2019t like what they are hearing about an investment.<\/p>\n

3. Stay away from complex investments.<\/h2>\n

The rich know to stay away from\u00a0complex investments<\/a>\u00a0like hedge funds and mortgage-backed securities. Why? Because these types of investments present a number of problems that include not having any control about the risks involved. The rich stay aware of getting hit with expensive fees, and these type of investments are usually sold to investors who don\u2019t understand them. If the rich don’t understand the investment, they don’t buy it.<\/p>\n

4. Not spending is the same as making money.<\/h2>\n

This doesn\u2019t mean that you always have to cut back or become a penny pincher. It means that if you make sacrifices in one area, you can\u00a0use that money for an investment. For example, if you\u2019re flying from New York to Chicago and a first class plane ticket costs more than $3,000, do you think that you could take a seat in business class because it\u2019s $1,000 less? In a way, you may have just earned $1,000, which could be used\u00a0for acquiring assets that bring in additional funds. Money working by itself is money you don’t have to earn again.<\/p>\n

5. Invest in appreciating assets.<\/h2>\n

The rich keep their wealth by not wasting all of their funds on items like clothing and vehicles. Instead, they wisely invest in appreciating assets. Tatiana Morales defines appreciating assets on\u00a0CBS<\/a>\u00a0as \u201cAssets that have the potential to increase in value and\/or produce income.\u201d This include liquid assets like cash, investments like stocks and bonds, and property.<\/p>\n
