Growing wealth takes time, hard work and strategy.
Ever wonder what are the top money secrets of the super rich?
Here’s 7 of the best tips.
This article was written by a Financial Horse Contributor.
1. Multiple streams of income
Having multiple streams of income is a common denominator of the super rich.
As Warren Buffett famously said, if you don’t learn how to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.
2. Don’t waste money
Rich people don’t waste money.
Rich people are careful in how they spend their money.
They look for value, not just low cost.
Do you know the value of your time?
Rich people rarely exchange time for money. They will not shy away from spending money if it means achieving their goal in a more efficient way.
In some instances, you have to spend money, to make money.
3. Smart liquidity
Rich people are very careful about liquidity.
Often times, they are also business owners, so it is extra important to have liquidity.
Liquidity is important:
a) in case of emergencies; and
b) to capitalize on great opportunities
Fortunes are made in crisis, and you need to have the funds when opportunity knocks on your door.
Smart investors will make sure that their cash buffer is also working for them.
For instance, in bonds (SSBs/ T-Bills) or a high yield savings account.
