When it comes to self-improvement, one of our weakest areas, knowledge-wise – is making money and building wealth. So we thought it would be helpful for us– and possibly you as well to compile a collection of some of the best wealth and money quotes we could find. So stay glued till the end to gather the knowledge.
“Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants.” —Epictetus
Epictetus is implying that if we have all we desire, we can be prosperous. We can be wealthy if we have an abundance of what we want. Having fewer wants is one of the fastest ways to become wealthy.
We suppose he is implying that wealth is a state of mind. For example, one individual may consider themselves affluent if they own three automobiles, whereas we may consider ourselves wealthy if we own only one car, the car of my dreams. We’ll never consider ourselves fortunate as long as I’m continually desiring something.
Wealth, as Epictetus defines it, appears to be a mindset, a perspective on what abundance is, based on this example.
“Money does not buy you happiness but lack of money certainly buys you misery”- Daniel Kahneman
Poverty-stricken people laugh at the idea that money can’t buy happiness. Robert Kenny, EdD’s research was featured in an article published by the American Psychological Association. Wealthy people he spoke with agreed that they enjoyed having a lot of money and recognized their good fortune, but that having a lot of money may also entail isolation, the loss of friendships that helped them get through difficult times, and dealing with the same parenting challenges as everyone else.
“It hurts just as much if their kids have a lot of money and thus a lot of drugs as it does if they don’t have any money and their kids are doing drugs.” It doesn’t protect you from anything.”
“You can only become truly accomplished at something you love.” -Maya Angelou
Gifts, talents, and passions have been bestowed upon you. Activities in which you excel. Things that you’re supposed to do, teach and make a difference with.
Now is the time to start doing those things. Find something you enjoy doing and give it your all. Give yourself all of your love and attention, and focus on what you do with your time.
Your life will be everything you want it to be and more! These are words of wisdom from a wise woman. Maya Angelou did what she loved, and she thought that we are more alike than dissimilar as human beings, each of us trailing our own strands of splendor. It’s tough to think of anything else in an age that appears to be built around money.
You can only be truly exceptional at something you enjoy doing. If money is the only objective you have in mind, you will feel like a failure if you don’t reach it, and even if you do, it will not bring you joy.
“Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.” – William A. Ward
It’s all too simple to act on instinct; to do what comes easily without thinking about the potential ramifications or why we’re doing the activity in the first place. However, our ability to plan ahead is one of the aspects that can have a significant impact on our potential to succeed.
This necessitates forethought, which is the cornerstone of our ability to listen before thinking and research before investing. Sure, flying by the seat of one’s trousers can be entertaining, but doing so for the rest of one’s life will most likely lead to disaster. All things must be balanced.
To live your life to the fullest, you must consider others, your future, and yourself in order to make the decisions that will benefit you the most in the long term.
“The poor invest their time, while the rich invest their money”- Warren Buffet
This is a basic concept that is both profound and real. In his book Rich Dad Poor Dad and other volumes in the series, Robert Kiyosaki thoroughly explored these and other principles. He uses the money quadrant to demonstrate this concept: The wealthy do not labor for a living.
They make money doing their bidding. People rarely have time to invest in most cases. Why? They believe that by working harder and longer, they will become wealthier. Nothing could be further from the truth, of course.
Rich people find new methods to do more with less—and they empower their colleagues to be successful for them—rather than being hands-on and working hard. To assume I’ll trade my precious resource of time for money is a terrible mindset. The rich have a different worldview than the poor, and they view time and how to invest it in a completely different way.
“It’s good to have money and all the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things money can’t buy.”
In reality, money appeals to everyone. For some people, it has enough power to determine whether they are happy or miserable. This is partly due to the fact that money can elicit strong emotions.
However, there are many things that money cannot purchase.
Money will allow you to enjoy the luxury of a Tesla, an estate, or first-class airline tickets to any location on the planet. Money, on the other hand, cannot buy everything. There are things of your life, yourself, relationships, and encounters that will be precious for the rest of your life.
“There is a gigantic difference between earning a great deal of money and being rich” Marlene Dietrich
Receiving a present is one of life’s many delightful realities. Gifts come from a variety of places and are given for a variety of reasons, thus their value is highly valued. Beyond the essence of gifts, however, are the critically important experiences and lessons that a human might gain from them.
We’ve seen a lot of movies with various plots, themes, and meanings, but “The Ultimate Gift” stood out from the others.
It had a unique plot, and it took me a long time to properly get the significance of the film. The film The Ultimate Gift emphasizes the value of not only getting gifts but also understanding and putting them to good use.
“If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we shall be poor indeed.”
We believe we’ve all experienced times in our lives when riches have governed us. Paying credit card interest is a painful side effect of the apparently never-ending debt cycle that many people today are trapped in. Stop putting things on your credit card! We’re not suggesting that you go hungry or ignore your basic human needs.
If you rely only on your credit card to meet your fundamental needs, it may take a little longer to reestablish homeostasis.
Our idea is to make minor adjustments here and there; if you can afford to quit using your credit card entirely, do so; if not, make small adjustments here and there to avoid the potential interest noose around your neck.
