Develop the healthy habit of saving. Saving is another way to look at paying yourself first. The most wealthy people in the world keeps a big portion of their wealth portfolio liquid, another form of saving. The more you save, the more money flows to you, because money goes where it is appreciated. Your emotions, thoughts and feelings about your wealth will be less volatile the more you save as your savings acts as your cushion.
Warren Buffet is famous for his wealth accumulation and for his saying “until you learn to manage your emotions about wealth, you will not get more money to manage”.

Delayed gratification: We live in a mindset of immediate gratification and having it immediately. Until you make peace with the habit of delayed gratification, you will rather spend your hard earned money than growing it. The wise wealth creators save their money until they have at least 3-6 months of income saved, then they study investing and start to invest. Through offering a great service or product, earning money through fair exchange, saving and investing your money, you will steadily grow and increase the wealth you are building for your family. Have a long-term vision and take the action steps towards it daily and do it with delayed gratification as your mantra. Forget about comparison with the Jones’s. Rather compare yourself to your own goals, dreams and vision.
“Behind every great man there’s a great woman” indicates that one’s chances of success increase if one has a great partner. One study, by Brittany C. Solomon and Joshua J. Jackson of Washington University in St. Louis, shows that having a conscientious spouse can boost your salary by $4,000 a year. The more you are aligned and you work as a team with the same goals, vision and dreams for the family, the more successful couples are in creating and growing the family wealth. The wealth creation is not the “job” of one person. It is a joint effort of supporting each other and delegating tasks and functions to each other to make the “business called your family” more streamlined.
