Far too many people think that wealth can only be inherited, if you are the scion of a family which is already rich. And granted, for a great many people this is the truth. A great many people who fall into the spoiled brat category could hardly make (let alone save) a dollar without the aid of dear old daddy’s money. But as for those who were not born with a silver spoon in their mouths, this is a world where we all have the good fortune of being able to grow. And whether you like it or not, one way to do this growing is through the careful and well considered use of debt, for the financing of buying things which are the real building blocks of wealth, as opposed to the trappings that we are all familiar with. If you can learn to harness debt, you can power your way to wealth from anywhere.
Wealth is not necessarily a huge cash hoard. Nor is it all of the fancy things which the world tends to associate with those who are wealthy, either. Wealth is the ownership and control of things which put money into your pockets, so that you no longer have to work. In a sense, it an almost be compared to the notion of flying out of the Earth’s atmosphere in a space vessel. To escape gravity takes a massive amount of work. But after that, the act of merely continuing to travel around the world is fairly easy.
Often, growing into this wealth requires putting down a large chunk of your own money, and taking out a loan for the rest of what you need. Keep in mind that while you will ultimately end up paying more for the assets that you are buying, you will ultimately be able to achieve your financial goals far faster than you would have if you had merely kept on working and saving. You may have even cut a decade or more off of your quest for incredible wealth. Of course, financing is not everything- just a significant part.
