excerpt from Robert Kiyosaki 's wisdom with a few changes to make it localized:
Why being wealthy is different (and better) than being rich
When I was a young boy, my rich dad told me about the difference between the rich and the wealthy.
“Many people think that being rich and being wealthy are the same
thing,” said rich dad. “But there is a difference between the two: The
rich have lots of money but the wealthy don’t worry about money.”
What rich dad meant was that while the rich might have lots of money,
they also might have lots of expenses that keep them up at night. Or
they might have a high paying job but have to get up to work everyday
and have fear of getting fired or laid off.
The wealthy, on the other hand, don’t have these worries. Why? What’s the difference?
The definition of wealth
The definition of wealth is the number of days you can survive without
physically working (or anyone in your household physically working) and
still maintain your standard of living.
For example, if your monthly expenses are Php5,000 and you have Php20,000
in savings, your wealth is approximately four months or 120 days.
Wealth is measured in time, not dollars.
The difference between being rich and being wealthy
In 1989, Kim and I became millionaires, but we weren’t financially free
until 1994. This is because there’s a difference between being rich and
being wealthy. By 1989, our business was making us a lot of money. We
were earning more and working less. We had what most people considered
financial success.
Though we were rich, we still were not wealthy; much of our time was
spent working to build our business and its systems. Our goal was to
build the business to the point that it would cover all our expenses
from cash flow each month—without us working. Additionally, we were
invested in other assets like real estate and commodities to add to our
cash flow.
By 1994, the passive income from our business and assets was greater
than our expenses. At that point, we were wealthy, not just rich.
It’s not what you make…
Ultimately, it’s not how much money you make that matters but how much money you keep—and how long that money works for you.
Every day, I meet many people who make a lot of money, but all their
money goes out of their expense column. Every time they make a little
more money, they go shopping. They often buy a bigger house or a new
car, which results in long-term debt and more hard work. Nothing is left
to go into the asset column. It’s this kind of behavior that separates
the rich from the wealthy.
I like the fine things in life just like everyone else; the difference
is that I don’t have to work to purchase them, or go into deep debt.
Rather, I spent the time necessary to be smart with my money, work hard,
and build a business and investments that provide enough cash flow each
month to cover my expenses—including my fun liabilities like cars and
houses.
I don’t work for my money. It works for me.
Lots of people can become rich. But only financially intelligent people can become wealthy—and that takes a strong financial education that allows you to build cash-flowing businesses and assets.
The rest is just playing at wealth, and a lot of worry.
