Just For Thinking ...
For most of us in the working class either as employees or self-employed, our First Pillar of wealth most likely to come from exchanging our precious time, energy, knowledge, and skills for money. Some may supplement it by taking on more part-time jobs.
The Second Pillar of Wealth is most likely to come from exchanging our money, financial and investing skills to Grow money.
You may want to make a definite commitment to spend some of your precious time and energy in building up this Second Pillar of Wealth bit-by-bit, month-by-month and year-by-year.
Acquiring financial and investing skills is not Rocket Science or Nuclear Technology, most of us can do it and after 15-20 years when you look at the size of your Second Pillar, you don't regret it. That is the truth. It is up to you to believe it or not.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI agree. Some very successful people are good in their own businesses or their jobs(like doctors, lawyers, scientists)only. Just like Isaac Newton was not successful in stocks investments. I believe people are gifted differently. If you know how you are gifted, make full use of your gift, and you will be most probably successful in your own way. And by making full use of your gift, you should be financially O. K. too.
The problem is for most people they have to try very hard to discover their gifts. If they don't try, then please remember the saying,"God help those who help themselves".
