You can live as well as a billionaire on a yearly income of as little as Rs. 30 to 40 lacs.
In terms of living rich, eating well - by almost any measure - is at the top of the list.
Rich people tend to eat healthier because they realize that food is fuel. It fires their bodies' engines so they can accomplish the work they want to do. But they also spend more time eating. They eat a greater variety of foods at a more leisurely pace. They are more likely to drink wine with their meals. And they are more likely to link meals with conversation.
It Doesn't Have to Be Expensive
When you want to try a very pricey restaurant, order just a drink and an appetizer. You'll get all of the ambience and service for a fraction of the money. An appetizer at a great restaurant is much more enjoyable than a big meal at some ordinary eatery. It's better for your soul-and your health.
For business lunches, identify the very best place in town and become a regular customer. Learn the owner's name and get friendly with the staff. They'll always treat you like a VIP, even if all you ever order is the salad.
Tip well. You might not spend a fortune in the restaurant, but you never want to appear cheap! Tip your server at least 15-20% before any coupons or discounts. Take care of the servers, and they will take care of you
Try new places. It's easy to get stuck in a restaurant rut. If you notice a new place going in, even if it's a bit nondescript, stop in and check it out. Many ethnic places don't have the financial backing of a corporate franchise, and the food might be very authentic. You won't know if you don't give it a try
"Quality means doing it right when no one is looking."
- Henry Ford
There is no food police watching you shop for groceries. No one cares if you buy frozen chicken nuggets instead of a farm - raised roaster. No one cares if you fill your cart with canned and packaged foods instead of fresh fruits and vegetables.
The reason to buy quality food is that the quality of your life depends on it. Cheap fuel gunks up cars. Junk food has the same effect on your body. It may provide some momentary comfort (as all bad habits do).
"Two for $5 (about Rs 300)! No way!" The girl put the avocado back, and they walked away.
I have no doubt that they spent at least $5 in the market that day. But it was probably on dead food that tastes like the box it came in. Food full of unhealthy fats and carbohydrates, rather than the healthy fats and vitamins in a live avocado.
A billionaire may not eat more chapattis but I'm sure his chapattis are made with the best wheat, freshly ground, and fleshly made
Salmon: Always Delicious
Salmon is good food, no matter how you prepare it. If you don't want to fire up the grill, try baking it in the oven with this recipe.
You can even roast some broccoli at the same time. Try this recipe, and you'll have a delicious meal on the table in a half-hour or less.
Enjoy a glass of wine while the food cooks, and you'll be eating and drinking as well as any billionaire.
Finding Happiness in Work
a typical workweek for a person who is serious about acquiring wealth is between 40 and 60 hours. Let's settle on 50 hours.
So what does a billionaire want out of his sleep time? I'd say the same thing you do: blissful, uninterrupted unconsciousness. And what will give you that (besides peace of mind, which you can't buy)?
Answer: a great mattress!
One thing you would surely do is purchase a great mattress to sleep on. With a billion dollars in net worth, you'd buy yourself the best mattress in the world.
box springs
Another thing you'd do is buy great pillows and sheets - again, the best that money could buy.
the discriminating person - the person with the rich mind - always shops for quality. The indiscriminating person - the person with the poor mind - shops for price.
What is the single most important article of clothing in terms of comfort? Shoes? No. 2. The most important one is socks!
Socks make a huge difference in how your feet feel.
You can buy a new BMW 760Li for $140,000 or a used one with 40,000 miles on it (barely broken in) for less than $50,000. The BMW will run like a top for 20 years and look elegant throughout its lifetime
