If you want to become rich (and stay rich), you need to follow key money management rules.

Be accountable for your spending, live below your means, set SMART financial goals, and invest wisely. In addition, remember to work on your money mindset and clear money blocks that may be preventing you from fulfilling your earning potential.

In this post, I’ll cover the keys to becoming rich and staying rich.

Keep in mind that this post is not a substitute for professional guidance, but it will get you looking in the right direction.

If you’re wondering how to be wealthy, not rich, this post was made for you. I’m going to show you the difference because it’s something that’s rarely talked about.

While’ll only cover being wealthy within the context of money, remember that wealth is about more than numbers.

Rich is what you see, and wealth is what’s in your bank account.

Rich people tend to be more “in-your-face.” They try to keep up with their neighbours and are always looking to show off the fact that they’ve just purchased the latest tech toy.

However, wealthy people tend to be more understated and focused on the long term, making smart decisions that align with their values.

What does it mean to be rich?

Most people notice rich people because of their lavish lifestyles and spending habits.

Being rich is visible. You can see it.

Rich people often have expensive cars, luxurious vacations, and wear designer clothing.

To be rich typically means to focus on immediate satisfaction and gaining material possessions rather than creating lasting financial security.

But wealth isn’t about instant success; it’s about the long-term.

In this post I’m going to go deep on being rich vs being wealth…so you can decide which is right for you.

So keep reading on the blog!

Money blocks usually develop when you are young and impressionable. They are things you learn and subconsciously take for granted. You believe them to be an absolute truth. 

Saving money is the first step to wealth. With smart investing and compound interest, small savings grow over time, helping you achieve financial success.

I have a quick anecdote that will illustrate two different approaches to generational wealth.

These characters are based on my two friends, Jeff and Dirk, who grew up in the same area.

Dirk seems to have the world by its tail. He’s confident, intelligent, and comes from a very successful family. He hasn’t had to work for anything because it has always been easy.

Jeff, on the other hand…

Being rich doesn’t make you happy or unhappy; it is your thoughts that make you happy.  So make sure you’re aware of yours!

During a recession, smart moves include saving cash, investing in companies that pay dividends and make everyday items, buying gold, and getting bonds because they’re safer.

While some view “being rich” as a specific dollar amount, others see it as being surrounded by people they love.  So first, you must understand what being rich means to you and have a goal.

The right money mindset for growing wealth is the belief that you can grow and change, combined with the desire to release limiting beliefs that are holding you back.
