Quote by The Millionaire Next Door

Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend.

Wealth is what you accumulate, not what you spend.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the distinction between wealth as something you accumulate versus something you spend. It suggests that true wealth is not merely measured by material possessions or the ability to spend lavishly. Instead, it implies that wealth is built over time through saving, investing, and accumulating assets. In this perspective, wealth is seen as a long-term goal achieved by making sound financial decisions, prioritizing financial stability, and growing one's net worth, rather than simply indulging in excessive spending.

Being yourself is one of the hardest things because it's scary. You always wonder whether you'll be accepted for who you really are. I decided to call my record 'Inside Out' because that's my motto about life. I don't think you ever succeed at trying to be anyone else but who you truly are.
