Read, Think, Act, Grow Wealthy

The best thing you can do if you want to become wealthier, is learn everything that you can about the subject. Ever hear the saying knowledge is power, I'm sure you have, well it holds when it comes to money. If you don't know how you spend your money, then you have a big problem, and until you get a budget in place and your spending under control you will always be scrambling to pay bills on time. Once you get a handle on your finances, you can take a step back and look at the whole picture. I recently read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" an excellent book that explains why most people work for money, instead of having money work for them. It talks about building your assests through owning rental properties and buying stocks before companies go public. Yes there is risk involved, and no there is never a sure thing, but the point is the more knowledge you have about a company, an investment, an opportunity the better your chances are.
