The Foundation of Wealth Building: Frugality

Most people in this world judge other people by their choice in foods, beverages, suits, watches and motor vehicles. For them, superior people have excellent tastes in consumer goods. But well, the reality is different.

The reality is that, everyday people trade their Wealth & Financial freedom for these consumer goods. To look cool and rich, people buy these high status items. And thus, they fail to build serious long-term wealth. This money could have gone towards the long term investing. The Compound interest is so powerful over the time that it multiplies your wealth in a breath taking manner.

For the most of the people in this world, superior people are those who have expensive car, food, clothes & beverages choice. But real wealthy people don’t spend much money behind these things because they know that, These are depreciating items. They will loose its value over the time. But instead of that, why not to accumulate Assets which appreciate over the time? Such as Stocks, Bonds, Gold, Real Estate, Mutual Funds & Businesses?

True wealth people know the fact that, wealth has to be accumulated. You can not be wealthy by spending more but you can be wealthy by accumulating more. Typical wealth people have accumulated so much of wealth over the time that, suppose if today they stop working than also they can maintain the same level of life style for the rest of their life.

So I advise anyone that, please don’t judge anyone’s financial status from food, beverage, watches and motor vehicle choices. But instead see that, How many Assets that person has accumulated. By checking the Assets of anyone, you will have a clear picture of his/her Financial Status…!!!
