Workers never get rich. Business owners rarely get rich. Investors, almost always get rich.   

Investors and workers have very different approaches to earning money. While workers earn money through their labor, investors earn money through investing in your labor.  That’s right!  Your boss is REALISTICALLY making $150/hour off your labor and paying you $30/hour.  Your boss’s best investment is you.  Investing is the act of allocating resources, such as money or time, with the expectation of generating an income or profit. Firstly, investors have a broader scope of earning opportunities than workers.

As an investor, you can invest in various assets, such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, and commodities, among others. Each of these investment opportunities has the potential to generate high returns. Secondly, investors can leverage their money to earn more than workers. Leverage refers to borrowing money to invest in an asset with the expectation of earning more than the cost of borrowing. 

Thirdly, investors can benefit from compounding. Compounding refers to earning interest on interest, which leads to exponential growth of an investment.  Lastly, investing provides tax advantages that can increase an investor’s return on investment. For instance, investing in a tax-advantaged retirement account, such as an IRA or 401(k), can provide tax-deferred growth and tax deductions.
