For most people, their wealth accrues slowly, and at any given point they say, 'Okay, I should kick up my standard of living because now I've earned slightly more wealth.' I went from the dorm room to having a billion dollars.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The very first step to building wealth is to spend less than you make.
Every year of my working life, I have been fortunate enough to earn more money than I have spent.
To me, wealth is the peace of mind you have, your family, your friends, your colleagues. Everything else is just money, and it really is funny how people pay so much attention to that.
The only thing wealth does for some people is to make them worry about losing it.
Although I grew up in very modest and challenging circumstances, I consider my life to be immeasurably rich.
The greatest wealth is to live content with little.
I've been rich and I've been poor. It's better to be rich.
I'm not ridiculously wealthy, but I don't squander money either.
The key to wealth is not what we earn. It is in what is spent on us.
I cannot think of a more personally rewarding and appropriate use of wealth than to give while one is living.
