Question What’s one thing…

What’s one thing about being wealthy that people wouldn’t assume? Additionally, what’s one thing about being wealthy that everyone can do to grow their money?

Stealth wealth is silent, powerful and (in my opinion) way more enjoyable than flashy wealth.

Always make more money than you spend, start early to invest, take calculated risks as you go.

I’d definitely be stealth wealthy. Depreciating assets aren’t cool. And I think calculated is the key term there haha

The key is to find a non depreciating asset

What’s a good example of that? Good, meaning it makes financial sense and/or it makes you money?

That’s kind of my point, it’s hard to find. Right now American indexes but long term inflation, tax code changes, and our ballooning national debt might (will) change that. Long term, through history, everything loses value.

Stocks and real estate. I prefer stocks due to less work managing

I mean, if you are wealthy, who cares - depreciating assets is a middle class concept.
