Building wealth isn’t simply about earning more money. 

Yes, that helps, obviously, but it’s certainly not the only way.

Or the smart way, for that matter.  

Often, in the short to medium term, it’s what you do with the money you do have that counts. 

Namely, making it work harder and smarter for you. 

More than not, that’s the key to start building a rock-solid foundation. 

And you don’t have to overcomplicate things, either. 

In fact, there’s a bunch of stuff you can do right now to get cracking…

Figure out your baseline

Know your net worth? If not, sit down and figure it out – all your assets minus all your liabilities, basically. Then write the final figure down.

Interrogate your cashflow

Grab your bank account and credit card statements from the past six months and highlight both non-negotiable spending and, importantly, stuff you could, at a push, live without. 

Get yourself on autopilot

Look at your spending and work out what you can automate and forget about. That might be setting up direct debits, automatic payments and the like, and transferring a set percentage of your salary at regular intervals to save. 

Start saving a percentage of your income

I’d argue 10-25 percent is a good starting point. Even if it’s a smaller percentage, the point is to start saving a set amount – and sticking to it. 

Don’t buy crap

Next time you go to splurge on something ask yourself this: “do I really need this… and can I live without it?” You’ll be surprised just how often your answers are “yes” and “no”, respectively.
