Tips To Accumulating Great Wealth Quickly

By Alex Blouck


Do you have a deep and abiding desire to become rich? While everyone might say that they desire to become wealthy, very few live their life in a manner that is conducive to accumulating wealth. If you do have this desire and you are determined to become rich then you have the most difficult part of becoming wealthy already. Following a few simple guidelines and making an effort every day to bring you closer to achieving this goal is the next step.

Remembering that goal and that dream of financial security is something that you should do every day if you hope to become rich. There are no days off and you can't call in sick for this job. You must remain vigilant and steadfast in feeding that dream and doing the things that have been proven to generate wealth. Remind yourself that your goal is a long term goal and that every dollar that you save today is compounded through investing for your future happiness. Never give up on your dream and try not to get down when you have difficult times.

The first character attribute that can help you to achieve wealth it so live like wealthy people live and think of money in the same way that rich people do. This means living frugally and well within your financial means. You might read stories about wealthy individuals who spend large sums of money on something that you might think of as extravagant such as high end sports cars or outrageously expensive shoes. What you will find is that most of the world's wealthiest people actually do know the value of a dollar and while they might spend large sums of money on the things that are important to them, they will seek out a bargain in other areas of their life.

You can live frugally by watching your spending habits yourself. Buy a used car instead of a new one. Buy store brand groceries whenever possible. Eat your meals at home instead of eating at a restaurant and bring your lunch to work instead of spending money on fast food. Remember that the inconvenience to your life will probably be minimal while the savings very well might be huge when you add up how much money you are able to save by living frugally.

Resist impulse spending and avoid going into debt as much as possible. While a mortgage might be something that you're already tied into, avoid credit card debt or make it a priority to pay off your credit card debt. Interest that you're paying on credit and revolving charge accounts is money that you're literally throwing away for the convenience of having something today instead of in a few weeks or months.

To reduce the amount that you are throwing away in interest payments, make a resolution to only pay for goods with cash that you actually have. Instead of buying a new car, pick up a used one that you can afford to buy for cash. Never use credit cards for impulse spending. Avoid that temptation by paying off all your credit card debt first and making a resolution to only use those cards when you have the cash in your bank account to pay that bill before it comes due. Ignore special offers from credit card companies and remember that perks and things like frequent traveler miles are only an enticement that they use to try to get you into credit card debt so they can make money off of your interest payments.

You may have already thought of getting an extra job or working part time to make a little extra money every month. This is a great idea but keep in mind that there might be a down side to taking on a part time job. A traditional part time job might not be worth it if your family suffers or if you wind up not spending time with your spouse or children. Many couples have tried working multiple jobs so they can afford a better lifestyle only to find out that their relationship suffered as a result. Family is important and having some time to relax is important to your mental well being.

A good compromise or a different way of making some extra money to boost your savings and investment potential would be to do small jobs that you enjoy. This phenomenon is catching on and is proving to be highly lucrative for some who hope to achieve financial independence. Maybe you have a hobby or skill that you enjoy that you could turn into a small part time business. A few hours worked at night or on the weekends can add to your bottom line and you might even enjoy this work more than you do your full time job. Offering tutoring services or resume writing services are popular small business ideas that you might want to consider or think outside the box and come up with a unique idea that is all your own.

Saving money and investing that money is the surest way to achieve great wealth. There's no way around it. Waiting for a large sum of money to land in your lap will leave you waiting for a long time. Dreaming about becoming wealthy is well and good but to ensure that you become rich you need to take action. Believe in yourself and your ability to generate wealth and you will achieve this goal. You deserve to be wealthy and to know the feeling of satisfaction of knowing that you have enough money to live the kind of life that you dream of. Anything sort of that is a defeatist attitude and that is what keeps many people living in poverty. Save your money, invest it wisely and you will reach your goal.
