8 Steps on The
Road To Wealth
Jamie McIntyre
Everybody wants to
be wealthy, but few people really commit themselves to doing what it
takes to achieve their dream. The road to wealth is a simple one, but
takes determination, capital and commitment – if you’re willing to take
the steps to get there, you can make your dreams of wealth a reality:
Savings. A commitment to building up your savings is the foundation of
any financial plan. The conventional wisdom says to pay yourself first –
even if it’s just 5 percent of your income, take it off the top before
you do anything else. There are always other things to use your money
for, and if you don’t make savings your top priority, you’re unlikely to
save at all.
Investing in the stock market. You don’t need to be a millionaire to
invest in stocks. Take a little time to learn about trading stocks, set
up a simple trading plan, and spread out your risk – put some of your
money higher risk stock, some in more stable, lower risk stocks.
Building a portfolio should be a cornerstone of financial planning.
Investing in property. Putting some of your money into real estate will
provide consistent cash flow, particularly if you own income property
like an apartment building or rental homes. You don’t have to make huge
investments in property, just carefully chosen ones.
Investing in business. Whether it’s your own business or someone else’s,
putting money into a business is good for the economy and good for your
portfolio.
Tax Minimization. This is where a good accountant comes in – they can
help you figure out ways to lower your tax burden by setting limited
liability partnerships or helping you incorporate, private annuities,
deferments and other strategies. The less you pay in taxes, the more you
have to invest.
Asset protection. Some of this overlaps with tax minimization, with
limited partnerships, insurance policies and other strategies helping
you avoid paying too many taxes while keeping your money safe. As you
acquire more and more money, you’ll want good advice from an accountant
or investment counselor – you may even want to invest in off-shore
interests for the tax breaks.
Retirement funding. Make sure that you’re prepared for the future by
having a solid strategy for your retirement funds. You can invest in a
single fun and just let it grow for the next 30 years, or break your
investments up into a collection of different funds. Either way, you may
make the decisions about how to invest yourself or seek advice from a
professional, who can help you choose stable funds for long-term growth.
Creating wealth is more an art than a science, and there’s no one way to
achieve your goals. It takes creativity, hard work, a certain amount of
luck and a commitment to your financial plan. The biggest mistake people
make as they earn more money is to spend more, too – manage your money
with savings and investments, and acquire annuities that will assure you
have a comfortable life in your golden years.
