How rich are you?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
How rich are you? Most people are reluctant to answer, because there are only 1% of the population are rich!
Anyway, if you are to answer such a question honestly, what would it be? Would you answer “I have 2 houses, 3 cars, a few FD etc”, or “I am worth RM300,000″, or “I earn RM20,000 a month” etc.
There are many ways to state our wealth. In fact, wealth is more appropriate to be stated by “time”, not the amount of “asset” we have.
This is the formula:
Wealth = How long we can continue and maintain our lifestyle without working?
According to the above formula, this is how we should state our wealth:
I can continue and maintain my current lifestyle for 10 years without working.
How long would it be for you? How wealthy are you? 3 months? 1 year?
There are 3 elements that determine how wealthy we are:
1. Expenses - the lower the wealthier we are
2. Passive income - the higher the wealthier we are
3. Saving - the higher the wealthier we are
