This is from one of those annoying popups that occur when you are watching videos online for any length of time, but the title was interesting, and the I dea even more so. What is the difference between a poor and a rich life? Here are the talking points from the source ULUX.

Again:

Do things in life that add value. Don't waste energy, time or money on things that are worthless. Eat good food. Exercise. Spend wisely. Don't overspend. Don't spend what you don't have. Your body and mind and company are as valuable as your money. Take care of what you have. Think about your mistakes and failures, and make changes to remedy them. This is how to be successful and rich in many ways.
