9 Subtle Behaviors That Quietly Signal You're Upper Class

Welcome to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a topic that goes far beyond just dollars in the bank. We’re talking about 9 subtle behaviors that quietly signal you’re upper class — and I promise, this isn’t about how much money you have or what you drive. It’s about how you show up in life, how you move with calm, confidence, and control, even when the world feels rushed, chaotic, or loud.

After 30+ years as a CPA and money mentor, I’ve seen firsthand that wealth isn’t always what you see on the surface. True “upper class” is about having systems that take the pressure off, behaviors that exude quiet authority, and habits that build not just wealth, but a sense of richness in your everyday life.

I’ll share the actionable steps you can take to claim these subtle habits for yourself—no matter your net worth or income—so you can start living more freely, intentionally, and on your own terms.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:

• Why being “upper class” is more about mindset and behavior
• How building a “money machine” delivers freedom and calm
• Two essential internal habits
• Why protecting your time and energy is true wealth
• The principle of “boring money” and how disciplined, repetitive financial decisions compound into extraordinary lives
• The value of privacy, listening over performing, and treating everyone the same—signals of real confidence and inner security
• Action steps to implement these nine behaviors in your own life right now, regardless of financial situation
