Being rich means that you can buy the things you need and want.
Being wealthy means you never have to worry about money.
When you're wealthy, you can enjoy true freedom, help others, and solve any money problems.
Being rich means you can splurge. Being wealthy means you're free.
- Spend less than you make
- Create multiple streams of income
- Invest, rather than save
- Be disciplined & patient
The rules are simple to explain, but hard to execute.
Too many people live outside their means. Every dollar you spend is one less dollar you can invest.
And spending more than you make will leave you in debt, which is incredibly hard to overcome.
Be frugal & stop consuming.
The fewer streams of income you have, the more risk you're taking. Diversify your income so you never grow dependent on only one.
You want active income and passive income. Make money so you can grow money.
The financial system punishes savers and rewards investors. This is done by systemically devaluing the US dollar every year.
If you save, your money becomes less valuable. If you invest, your assets become more valuable.
Everyone wants to get rich quick, but few are willing to get rich for sure. This isn't rocket science.
Be unemotional & leverage compound interest. It can literally be life changing.
Do hard things to get an easy life.
Anyone can do this if they educate themselves and put in the work.

Saving is a fool's game. The system is devaluing your dollars, so you're losing even though you think you're winning.
Find a way to make more money, so you can invest.
Some are wealthy & some are poor. Some are fortunate & others are not.
Education is the great equalizer. When you understand the game of money, you can do exactly what rich people do.
They don't save. They invest.
- Spend less than you make
- Create multiple streams of income
- Invest, rather than save
- Be disciplined & patient
There is no get rich quick scheme. Just a disciplined life of doing the right things consistently.
