The ONE Thing

495. The 9½ Habits of Wealth Building (Wealth Series Part 2)


Listen Later

Wealth isn’t built in spreadsheets. It isn’t just about understanding finance books or listening to podcasts. True wealth is built in habits—the actions we take (and the ones we avoid) every single day.


In part two of our special wealth-building series, Jay Papasan shares nine and a half habits that can put you on the path to financial independence. From living below your means to investing wisely, Jay explains the foundational steps that allow you to accumulate and grow wealth over time. He shares his personal experiences, lessons learned the hard way, and insights from financial experts like Dave Ramsey and Morgan Housel.


Those nine habits are:

  • Live below your means
  • Automate your savings
  • Pay down your debt
  • Maintain an emergency fund
  • Have clear financial goals
  • Invest wisely
  • Learn continuously
  • Track your net worth
  • Pay cash for luxury items

  • If you’re looking to take control of your finances and make your money work for you, this episode gives you the step-by-step habits to get started.


    Challenge of the Week:


    Go to the1thing.com/networth and download the net worth tracking worksheet. Whether your net worth is big, small, positive, or negative—just calculate it. This will serve as your foundation for all future financial decisions.
