From Janitor to millionaire The Inspiring Story of Ronald James Ronald James, a janitor, left behind $8 million at his death. How did he do it? Simple habits: saving consistently, living below his means, and letting compound interest work its magic. His story, highlighted in The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel, teaches us powerful lessons: 1ļøāƒ£ Wealth is what you don’t see. It’s not about flashy cars or luxury. True wealth is the money saved and invested. 2ļøāƒ£ Behavior matters more than intelligence. Ronald wasn’t a financial expert; he was patient and disciplined. 3ļøāƒ£ Compounding is key. Starting early and staying consistent helped his investments grow exponentially. 4ļøāƒ£ Anyone can build wealth. It’s not about your income but your habits. Ronald’s life shows that financial success is more about mindset than money. Source- Psychology of Money
