A woman has claimed you can tell if someone is a rich individual based on one common phone habit.
I mean, there are some obvious indicators that a person has a healthy bank balance - whether it be the clothes they wear or the car they drive around.
While they may be putting it on credit and that person is actually living beyond their means, it often means someone has a lot of money.
But apparently, there is one common phone habit that can quickly make you realize whether a person is rich or not.

You might not be expecting the answer, as it is a bit random, but according to a woman named Jamie, this habit that more than a few of us are definitely guilty of is a dead giveaway that you might not have any money in the bank.
But what could it be?

Apparently, its doomscrolling endlessly on your phone that is an obvious indication someone may not be so well off.

"Do you know what I think will be one of the biggest class indicators going forward, not even that long from now, I think in the very near future? It’s going to be over-reliance on the use of technology," she explained in an Instagram video.
Before you get too mad by the massive generalisation, she goes on to explain her point - whether you like it or not.
As I said, we're all guilty of it for sure, and Jamie explained how many can become 'overwhelmed by everything going on' in the world and doomscrolling can be an escape.
"Who needs a break?" Jamie asked. "People that are overworked and burnt out, and that's not people who live a life of leisure."

She continued: "People that make more money, are richer, are wealthier… you don’t see them or their kids being iPad kids. You seem them putting their kids into activities…kids that grow up well aren’t the ones over-reliant on technology."
Apparently, a further way you can tell if someone has money is if they have a resting 'rich face' or 'poor face'.
We've all heard of a resting 'b*tch face' - but a recent study found people make judgements about if you're 'rich' or 'poor' just from the shape of your face.

Researchers from the University of Glasgow found that faces deemed 'rich' were also considered to be more trustworthy, with chiselled features, raised brows and rosy cheeks among other characteristics.
Meanwhile, faces considered 'poor' were found to have lowered eyebrows, shorter chins, downturned mouths and cooler skin tones, making them appear cold and untrustworthy.
Lead author of the study Dr Thora Bjornsdottir said: "People who are perceived to be of high or low social class are also often judged as having advantageous or unfavourable traits, respectively.
"Such judgements are formed even just from facial appearance, and this can have substantial consequences, including disadvantaging those who are perceived to be of lower social class."
