2 min readMar 11, 2023
Many people will say “Save” That is just a small part of Building Wealth. I also want to say Wealth is relative.
When I say relative I mean, literally where you live. $100,000 in Chicago is different than $100,000 in Chile or Peru.
Here are some ways to build Wealth on a Normal Salary:
Move to a Place where your Rent is 25% of your Monthly Income
- $40,000 A year looks different in Augusta, GA (Trust Me) compared to Atlanta
- In this scenario your rent should not exceed $1000 a month
- Now you have about $2500 left after taxes give or take
Use your Credit to Pay off Utilities
- This consolidates your bills and you can just pay 1 Bill (your credit card Bill)
- This allows you to setup a budget
- If your Credit is bad their will be Second Chance and Secured Card programs you can utilize
Get Rid of your Car Payment (unless its an asset)
- This is the part many people don’t want to hear or accept
- Your Credit may take a nosedive but there are many second chance banks and credit cards
- Go buy a Car Cash and be done with it (Car Auctions are an excellent resource)
Network with People with more Money
- This is a big part of building Wealth, being around people with more money will motivate you
- When you are around people buying land, assets, and talking wealth; it changes you
