What does it mean to be rich?

Published on Tuesday, 9 October 2007 by Luke Jarzembowski

I admit, the title of this blog is somewhat controversial. Some people rooting for me, because we would like to quickly "to have a bubble on the account" Others consider me to be a complete materialist whose sole purpose is pieniądze.Jednak for me to say something more wealth

As I wrote in the introduction to the blog , I care more financial freedom than-passing in riches. To financial independence you do not need to have a million in your account. Just 2-3 thousand monthly passive income. The idea is that revenues exceeded expenses.

But back to the definition of wealth. I quote here the statement a business psychologist, Jack Santorski in an interview for Rzeczpospolita:

(...) Internal wealth is wealth, the ability to happiness, fulfillment in love and at work, inner freedom and the realization that no one will not hurt me and do not touch, do not precipitate out of balance when I told him this will not help. To be rich is to develop and be able to take care of your health, for the gifts of nature, they are our intelligence , relationships with people, emotions. At the same time to carry out these tasks need the money.

I fully agree with this definition and I recommend you read the entire interview, eg. On the blog of Don Maciejone .

I'm pretty rich

Yes, almost I achieved his goal. Cash flow my family is in most months of positive. They tend to be "worse" months, but generally more than we have revenue expenditure.

Frankly I earn as much as a typical representative of the middle class. I work but not more than half the time. I do it for it more efficiently, because some time ago I decided that from that just will depend on my earnings. From efficiency rather than an hourly rate or negotiate with the boss.

When will I be rich?

Some time ago a friend sent me an article in which it was written that most of the "objectively rich" people are not considered to be rich and ever higher bar set itself paid. For me, such an action is an ordinary rat race and I'm not going to participate ...

I realize that I present financial independence due to limited costs. I am a student, so I do not need eg. Pay social security contributions.

Moreover, it would do well to own apartment and a car. I am also aware that, over time, expenditure on child grow. It could also be more investments in order not to be dependent on one source of income.

The plan is therefore a minimum to maintain positive cash flow with increased (listed above) expenses. Of course, revenues continue to be sourced from their own businesses or investments. Zero of paid employment :-)

    Wise words and good luck, a little luck and reason is always useful to meet. "Poor and rich dad" reading for ambitious and guiding young people, although in this case? I think superfluous :-)

    It's nice that it noticed. You could gdziew prominent place to write about wealth, a brief definition of wealth wisely because you write, but I guess not everyone who enters the blog with the address 'chcebycbogaty.pl' expects that the author knows the definitions of wealth.

    I liked this piece of intelligence. I write it down somewhere. :)

    rich by Napoleon Hill is one that generates $ 1 million a year from passive income. Below 100 thousand - $ 1 million - well-to-do; more than $ 10 million annually in revenues passive - the ultra rich. According to me, these are good criteria. Greetings
