4 DRIVE AN OLD CAR. The bigger point is to live below your means.

开旧车。更重要的是要量入为出。

When Sarah Stanley Fallaw, PhD, and her father, Thomas Stanley, PhD, researched the book The Next Millionaire Next Door,

莎拉·斯坦利·法罗博士和她的父亲托马斯·斯坦利博士研究了《邻家的下一个百万富翁》,

they learned that many wealthy people are quite frugal.

他们发现很多有钱人都很节俭。

"What really differentiates people who accumulate wealth from others is not their income

斯坦利·法罗表示,积累财富的人与别人真正不同的不是他们的收入,

but that they don't spend everything they earn," Stanley Fallaw says.

而是他们不会把挣来的钱都花光。

Most millionaires don't drive luxury cars, for example, and 28 percent drive a car that's at least six years old.

例如,大多数百万富翁不开豪华车,28%的百万富翁开的车至少有6年的历史。

5 GET MOVING. Yes, you've heard it before, but decades of research show that exercise improves your health, lifts your mood, and lengthens your life.

动起来。是的,你听到过这句话,但是数十年的研究显示,运动可改善你的健康,提升你的情绪,延长你的生命。

In fact, Harvard researchers found that as little as 15 minutes of moderate physical activity a day can increase your life span by three years.

事实上,哈佛大学的研究人员发现,每天只需15分钟的适度体育活动,就能让你的寿命延长3年。

It also appears to keep your body young on the inside:

运动还能让你的身体保持年轻:

Ball State University researchers found that people in their 70s who were lifelong exercisers

波尔州立大学的研究人员发现,一生都在锻炼的70多岁的人

were indistinguishable in many ways from healthy people 30 years younger.

在许多方面与比他们年轻30岁的健康人没有区别。

6 FLOSS EVERY DAY.

每天用牙线清洁牙齿。

Flossing doesn't just clean your teeth and freshen your breath.

使用牙线不仅可以清洁牙齿,清新口气。

One study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that

发表在《美国心脏协会杂志》上的一项研究发现,

older women with a history of periodontal disease had a 12 percent higher risk of early death,

有牙周病史的老年妇女早逝的风险高12%,

and those who had lost teeth had a 17 percent higher risk.

而那些失去牙齿的人的早逝风险要高出17%。

Research shows that people with gum disease are significantly more likely to suffer from heart at-tacks and strokes,

研究表明,有牙龈疾病的人更容易患心脏病和中风,

and there are also links to pancreatic cancer, erectile dysfunction, and Alzheimer's disease.

它们还与胰腺癌、勃起功能障碍和阿尔茨海默病有关。

Scientists believe harmful mouth bacteria can enter the bloodstream,

科学家认为有害的口腔细菌可以进入血液,

causing inflammation and other damage, and the best way to clear them is with a daily floss.

引起炎症和其他损伤,清除它们的最好方法是每天使用牙线。

7 FIND WASTED MONEY.

找到浪费的金钱。

Look at your bank and credit card statements or use an app such as Mint to track your spending for a few months, Womack recommends.

沃马克建议,查看你的银行和信用卡对账单,或者使用Mint等应用来跟踪你几个月的支出。

You may be surprised. "The first time I went back and looked at our spending records, it was a big kick in the stomach," she says.

你可能会感到惊讶。她说,“我第一次回去看我们的消费记录时,心里很不舒服,

"We were spending $800 a month on eating out ...Crazy!"

我们一个月要花800美元在外面吃饭...这太疯狂了!”

Once you know where your money is going, you can set goals, create a budget, and start saving.

一旦你知道你的钱去了哪里,你就可以设定目标,制定预算,开始存钱。
