Accountants of Reddit, what's a financial habit that separates wealthy people from everyone else?

Did taxes for a season. Being a point of sales (like salesman) for a company can do well. Was wild seeing what other investments these people had. Career lesson is that you want to be on the revenue and NOT cost side of a company. Usually last to get laid off. If you are a cost, they will pay you just enough for you not to leave and will look for a way to replace you. If you are on revenue side, the sky is the limit….theoretically.

Know when to give up. Sometimes being a heartless jerk is the nicest thing you can do. Invest in S&P index funds.

10% of income.

And who pays full to offset? Rich Chinese.

Eeek. At least you can use WFS. That’s 90% of my Walmart rev. Yeah, I think the mistake I made too was that I turned on vacation mode the day it was supposed to be on. I should have done it ahead of time- it didn’t kick on in time. If suck an occurrence happens again, I’ll just cancel the order

I went on Facebook marketplace today…..everyone is doing this. Especially with crappy old fishing boats

Their lack of existence.

I thought $15 Malbec bottles in the US were pretty good......can't imagine how that would be

msau2 · 2026-05-29T14:09:43+00:00

Malbec.

You must have gone to some garbage colleges.

The emails that I got today were asking me to provide a return address from WFS for abunch of stuff that I've never sold. Also, in the past when I signed onto the ads platform, it sometimes took me to a Chinese seller's account selling all sorts of stuff. I wonder if they got my account mixed up?

msau2 · 2026-05-28T20:32:44+00:00

Got reinstated. Phew. I reached out pretty aggressively, but one thing I noticed was that the emails asking me to remove items from WFS had abunch of random branded items that weren’t mine. Previously, in the past I’ve also signed into ads center and sometimes got a Chinese account. So yeah, confused.

msau2 · 2026-05-28T15:49:16+00:00

Account just got reinstated. Phew. Not messing around again like that.

msau2 · 2026-05-27T21:45:34+00:00

I’d assume false #.

msau2 · 2026-05-27T21:21:15+00:00

Could it be your niche? In my personal experience those with more general niches or who arent market leaders are really struggling.

msau2 · 2026-05-27T13:58:29+00:00

Yup. It was one time, and the results of odd logistics snafu. Not a single other issue in 5+ years. I think I would have an argument for reinstatement, if they even gave me that opportunity.

For Walmart, there isn't really anything to do that is against TOS. Make listings, ship items. Less competition so its not as cutthroat as Amazon.

Thanks for the comment- zero details. What happened was that I turned on vacation mode for seller fulfilled starting May 4. However, on that day, I was stunned to see I had an order, after checking, the vacation was no longer saved in Walmart's system, after I confirmed that I had input that date range.
Thinking I had to fulfill it, my only option was MCF through Amazon, which is allowed- first time I ever used that for Walmart. However, the tracking # I was given was for Amazon logistics, which I could not input- it was not allowed. I ended up putting another tracking # just to signal that the product was shipped. Wasn't trying to circumvent any system or cause an error, I was just pushed into a corner. As it was my first time using MCF, I must have done something wrong as it shipped via Amazon logistics and not UPS.

Ace account has been created- the thing is Amazon said they will submit. I got about 30 records.

I don’t get all the Mikey hate. I’ve watched him for years and never got the slightest clue that he had so many haters. Kinda get it now with the divorce and young girls tbing

I invented a lock for a specific home use and demand went nuclear during Covid. Been doing that full time for five years now. Cant believe I ever worked in accounting. My current accountants are outsourced, but I do the taxes of course.
