When the warehouse burned down, my dad was on the hook. He spent 18 months trying to get some money out of the insurance company. When he lost his last battle in court, he didn't have enough money to even to get back to Staten Island with a cab. So he walked over the Brooklyn Bridge and thought about jumping off the bridge. "I saw all these crests of the waves capping," she says her father told her. 'And I just took my foot off the rail'
#10: OMG! It's Tom Corley, the RICH HABITS guy!
Jay is having a heart attack. Tom Corley studied self-made millionaires and poor people to come up with some interesting results. He wrote about it in a story called "Rich Habits".
Tom shares his story of being well off as a child before his dad lost everything. Then he worked hard to bring himself up to not-broke status and on to becoming an accountant.
After studying some of his clients he expanded to 233 self-made millionaires and 150 poor people. The results of those studies were very telling - but nobody really cared about it.
Then he got a break when Farnoosh Torabi did a segment about the Rich Habits on Yahoo Finance. The rest is history in the making.
Watch for Tom Corley's new book - Change Your Habits, Change Your Life - which gives more of the "how to" rich habit change. You can find it at http://ChangeYourHabitsBook.com
