This morning, on the June 18 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, Kelly Ripa opened the show by sharing a simple piece of advice she gives her kids to become millionaires: make your bed in the morning.

Ripa and Mark Consuelos talked about the idea that making your bed each morning could be tied to success.

Ripa said she often brings up the habit with her children.

Ripa told Consuelos that she regularly sends articles about making the bed to their family group text.

"I send this article to my kids constantly," Ripa said. "It's always in the news feed. I send it to them on the family group text."

"You want to become a millionaire? Make your bed," she said.

Ripa and Consuelos share three adult children: Michael, Lola and Joaquin.

The Habit Is About Discipline

Ripa said the point is less about the bed itself and more about starting the day with a habit.

She said the article she had seen claimed people who make their beds have a "206% greater likelihood of becoming a millionaire."

"Making your bed changes your frame of reference that carries throughout the day. Organized life. Organized brain. Organized job," she said.

She connected the habit to organization, discipline and a "go-getter mindset."

She added that it is a "very simple thing." Consuelos pointed out that making the bed does not have to be complicated.

"You don't have to even do a good job," he said.
