Wealth Building - How Rich is Rich?

It’s actually quite hard to define in a dollar amount what rich is.

We often say so-and-so is rich because he or she has a high-income corporate job, buys brand new luxurious cars, dresses in fancy clothes and so on.

Although these are outward demonstrations of ‘rich’, crucially, that does not mean these people are wealthy (they might very well be of course but it’s not a given).

It’s actually quite hard to define in a dollar amount what rich is. It can be subjective and mean different things to different people. In addition, it can depend on where you live and the cost of living in that place. In 2003 Gallup poll of Americans the public's median definition of "rich" was an income of $120,000 - or assets of $1 million. But if you ask someone who already has $1 in assets they are likely to say being rich would be to have $5 or $10 million in assets. Some people are never happy!?

If you are rich, don’t be fooled into thinking you’re wealthy. If you’re not already rich, don’t worry about it, focus on being wealthy and you will be rich anyway. Whilst it may be difficult to know if you are truly “rich”, you’ll definitely know if you’re truly wealthy and for how long!

Wealth Building - Better to Be Wealthy Than Rich

If you are a millionaire, are you by default wealthy?

If you strive to build wealth rather than just get rich you’re basically giving yourself the keys to the vault!

There’s a massive difference between being wealthy and being rich. Not all rich people can be wealthy but all wealthy people can be rich. Confused!?...let me explain.

If you are a millionaire, are you by default wealthy?... Ahmm, not necessarily so.

A millionaire by definition is someone whose net worth (asset value minus debt) exceeds a millionaire dollars/euros etc. However, if a person did have 1 million in assets but theses assets were not generating income then that person by my definition is rich but not wealthy.

These questions explain will help you get a better understanding of wealth and what is the difference between rich and wealthy - have a guess and let me know what do you thinks on each of them in the comments area below.

Build Wealth Quickly - 3 Simple Asset Allocation, Wealth-Building Strategies

If you are wondering how to build wealth, then this article will give you a good overview of the 3 typical ways you can build wealth quickly. These aren't difficult to understand and others have made their millions by excelling at one of these choices.

Who doesn't dream of marching into their boss' office one day and resigning without caring about the financial repercussions? Well, you can only do so if you have acquired sufficient assets (wealth) through which you can generate a future income to replace your current earned income. By the way, as a rule of thumb I don’t recommend you hand in your resignation unless you have at least 1 and ideally 2 years living expenses put away in liquid assets.

Simply put, to become wealthy over time you basically need to make, save and invest money wisely. The smarter you are at doing this the faster you become wealthy. Assuming you’ve read my other articles on How to Get Rich (the making of and management of money) then you are ready to look at the 3 most common wealth building strategies of the super wealthy.

1. Investing in Paper Assets (Stocks, Bonds, Funds, Currency)
Investing in “paper assets” is a great way to start building wealth. It teaches you the principals of money management, capital, rates of returns, risk etc. You can invest in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, commodities, and foreign exchange ("forex").

2. Investing in Real Estate
Real estate is another great way to build wealth. With real estate, you typically buy a property and then make money through selling it eventually for a much higher value than its purchase price and/or becoming a landlord and letting the property. One of the advantages of real estate investing is using the principle of leverage (i.e. a mortgage) to buy an asset that you otherwise couldn’t’t afford. Leverage isn’t commonly available in paper assets investing (although you can buy on margin but this can be risky if you don’t know what you’re doing!). (find out more)

3. Starting, or Owning a Business
Starting, or owning a business is another common wealth-building strategy. Starting a business doesn't always make you really wealthy right away. It takes time and energy to build the income of a business and its capital value, but it can make you wealthy over time if managed effectively. Therefore, if you have previous experience of running a business it can sometime makes more sense to buy an existing business and simply run it better.
