- It causes a substantial fall in your fortune
- It slowly and steadily erodes your wealth
- It protects and preserves your money
- It adds staggering amounts to your riches
Through the years of my financial advisory experience, I have come across many people making wrong financial choices as they did not correctly assess the impact of their decisions.
I, therefore, realized that eliminating such errors was critical before any wealth creation could begin.
Accordingly, in my book 'Millionaires don't eat cakes...they make them', I put forth the concept of 'Income to Wealth Recipe' with four primary ingredients viz. Wealth Dissipators, Wealth Destroyers, Wealth Preservers and Wealth Creators. These are, briefly, listed below:
Wealth Dissipators
- Imprudent spending habits
- Misconception about your assets
- Taxes
- Inflation
Wealth Destroyers
- Threat of credit cards / personal loans
- Threat of loans
- Threat of calamities
- Threat of short-term trading
- Threat of bad decisions
Wealth Preservers
- Insurance
- Fixed Deposits / Bonds / Debentures
- Debt Mutual Funds
- Gold
Wealth Creators
- Business
- Equity / Equity MFs
- Property
Henceforth, first ascertain whether your proposed choice / decision is a wealth creator, preserver, dissipater or a destroyer. This will ensure that your choices become more astute and you can start cooking your millions.
