There are only three ways that people become wealthy. Number one, inherit money. Number two, have money work for you. To do this, you have to have some assets to generate cash. So if you have apartment buildings and rentals, you have passive income.
If you have stocks, you get dividend every year. If you're a writer, you get book royalties a few times a year. But you don't have to be super wealthy to have money work for you.
Number three, use your gifts to make money. So you have to find something that you're good at and then improve your skills and gain more skills and combine them. That way you can make money.
That amount increases as your gifts improve and just polished. And if the cash flow goes over than the salary you make, then you can leave your company and still you can keep your financial independence by doing what you love. I think everyone is born with certain gifts.
Unfortunately, it's not something that most of us realize. So if you're 25, 35 or 45 or 55 or 65, it's never too late to find gifts.
