Good health, longevity, happiness, a loving family, self-reliance, fine friends … if you [have] five, you’re a rich man….

One of the reasons that millionaires are economically successful is that they think differently.

Most people have it all wrong about wealth in America. Wealth is not the same as income. If you make a good income each year and spend it all, you are not getting wealthier. You are just living high. Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend.

Wealth is more often the result of a lifestyle of hard work, perseverance, planning, and, most of all, self-discipline.

Money should never change one’s values…. Making money is only a report card. It’s a way to tell how you’re doing.

It’s easier to accumulate wealth if you don’t live in a high-status neighborhood.

The foundation stone of wealth accumulation is defense, and this defense should be anchored by budgeting and planning.
