5 Crazy Superstitions To Become A Billionaire đź’¸
Are you ready to learn about some crazy superstitions about money from around the world? Buckle up, my dear readers, because we’re about to take a wild ride.
Here are five bizarre money superstitions that people believe in different cultures:
Money under the Doormat:
Imagine a world where your doormat held more than just dust and debris from your shoes.
According to South African tradition, placing money under your doormat will bring you a whole lot more than just a cleaner home. It’s said that this superstition originated from the idea that the doormat represents the threshold of the home, and by placing money under it, you are making an offering to your home’s guardian spirits.
So next time you’re looking to add some luck to your life, skip the rabbit’s foot and go straight for the doormat — your bank account will thank you!
Lucky Number 8:
If you ever thought numbers were just for math class, think again. In Chinese culture, the number 8 holds a special place in people’s hearts. The reason? It sounds similar to the word for “wealth” and “prosperity.”
In fact, some Chinese people will go to great lengths to include the number 8 in important aspects of their lives, such as their bank account numbers, phone numbers, and even license plates. It’s like they’re saying, “I may not be a math genius, but I know what I like — and I like money!”
So, next time you’re looking for a little financial luck, just remember: 8 is great.
Don’t Spend the First Money of the Day:
In India, they say “first money of the day” is like the “first fruit of the harvest”, which means it sets the tone for the rest of your financial day. So, if you spend your first rupee on a pack of gum, you’re setting yourself up for a day full of petty expenses and financial setbacks.
It’s like throwing a penny into a wishing well and making a wish, but instead of a wish, you’re making a prediction about your financial future.
So, next time you wake up and see that cash burning a hole in your pocket, remember: hold on to it tight until you’ve planned your expenses for the day!
Never Leave Your Purse on the Floor:
Oh boy, if only money grew on trees or if we could just find it lying on the ground! In Brazil, they take the whole “ground is unstable” idea quite seriously, as they believe leaving your purse on the floor will bring nothing but financial trouble.
I guess it’s good news for all the handbag lovers out there, who can now add “purse holder” to the list of useful floor-standing objects. Just make sure your purse doesn’t end up on the ground, or you might find yourself living in the poor house.
Pick Up Pennies for Good Luck:
Whoever said that “a penny saved is a penny earned” clearly didn’t know the real value of a penny. In the United States, finding a penny on the ground is considered to be a sign of good luck.
So, the next time you see a penny on the ground, don’t just walk past it! Pick it up and hold onto it tight. And if you’re really lucky, you might find a penny with the year of your birth on it, which is said to bring you extra good fortune.
Keep your eyes peeled for those pennies, and who knows? Maybe you’ll get lucky enough to find a whole roll of them!
Whether you’re placing money under your doormat in South Africa or searching for lucky pennies in the US, it seems that people all over the world are looking for ways to bring a little extra luck into their financial lives.
Next time you’re feeling down on your luck, maybe it’s time to try out one of these superstitions and see if it brings you a little bit of extra prosperity.
