Ultimate Wealth
Sunday, August 29th, 2010It is easy to get the wrong idea when it comes to wealth. Many people do not understand ultimate wealth. When the amount of income that you receive from your assets is more than the expenses that you must pay, you have successfully achieved ultimate wealth.
It makes no difference if you are only making $10,000 from your assets as long as your expenses are less. Then and only then will you be able to call yourself wealthy. Likewise, if your expenses are more than your income, you are not wealthy.
For example, imagine a man earning $10,000 a month through his investment business. The same man’s monthly expenses total $5,000 a month, meaning this man is wealthy. Now, imagine a different man who is bring home $1,000,000 every month, but his expenses total more than $2,000,000 each month. Even though the second man makes more money, he is not as wealthy as the first.
This is where a lot of people tend to get confused. All too often, people see someone driving a fancy car or living in a huge house and wearing designer clothes and think, “they must be wealthy”. However, this is not necessarily the reality of it all. Actually, cars, houses and clothes are all things that depreciate and will not put money in your pocket.
Another common misconception about wealth is that it depends on the size of a person’s income. No matter how much money you make, even it is hundreds of millions of dollars, unless you make more than you spend, you will not be wealthy.
Finally, many people think that in order to become wealthy, you must have a great job that pays you well. Once again, this is not necessarily true. Just think about all the people who thought all they had to do was go to college and get a high paying job, but now find themselves out of work.
If you want to create wealth successfully, you always have to be open to new opportunities to make money. A high paying job is a nice foundation, but multiple income streams will see you through to retirement.
