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: 1️⃣ Wealth is what you don’t see. It’s not about flashy cars or luxury. True wealth is the money saved and invested. 2️⃣ Behavior matters more than intelligence. Ronald wasn’t a financial expert; he was patient and disciplined. 3️⃣ Compounding is key. Starting early and staying consistent helped his investments grow exponentially. 4️⃣ 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
