Spending more than what you earn is not a habit, it's a disorder.
What I'm trying to say is that it does not work like that. If I were to follow all that is said in such book/articles, will I automatically become rich or successful?
Spending more than what you earn, as a repeated pattern of behavior, is definitely a habit. Most people would agree that it's a bad one.
If you're waiting for some advice or recipe to make you "automatically" rich or successful, you'll be waiting a long time. Nobody can guarantee that.
We can probably agree that there is a spectrum of habits that range from "good" to "bad". Practicing good habits doesn't create automatic success, just like practicing bad habits doesn't make success impossible, but there are statistical trends.
Person "A": spends 105% of his income
Person "B": spends 85% of his income
Which habit do you think will lead to greater success?
