Another month almost done, March! And yes, I am still on my "read a book a month" tip and I am gladly winning. Though I managed to finish earlier due to the lock-down, I am very happy I chose to read "The Rules of Wealth" by Richard Templar in the first quarter of the year. In this book, Richard shares 117 rules pertaining to how we see, use, value and relate with money. I feel empowered now to start creating real wealth for myself. With so many good rules listed and explained in the book, I will share my favourite ones which I was highlighting as I read along:


I love how Richard believes in working hard and smart as opposed to the many get-rich-quick schemes that get advertised these days. He makes the journey to wealth personal and enriching, and he strongly encourages giving back as part of the process. Thank you Richard for telling me to be serious, quirky, vigilant, awake, attractive and hungry. I'm officially ready to start creating my empire. A much recommended read!


"The Rules of Wealth: A Personal Code for Prosperity" is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their financial literacy and build wealth. Written by Richard Templar, the book provides a set of principles and guidelines for achieving financial success. In this post, we will explore the key lessons from the book and provide examples to help readers understand the concepts.

One of the most important lessons from the book is the importance of developing a wealth mindset. This means believing in your right to be rich and taking control of your financial future. In order to develop a wealth mindset, it's important to set specific, measurable and achievable financial goals for yourself.

The book also emphasizes the importance of living below your means. This means spending less than you earn and saving the difference. Avoid lifestyle inflation, and resist the temptation to keep up with the Joneses. Live a modest lifestyle and focus on saving and investing the money you save.


One of the most important steps to achieving financial success is paying off your debts. Create a plan to pay off your debts and stick to it. Avoid taking on new debt and focus on paying off the existing ones.

This document presents details on the wealth and income distributions in the United States, and explains how we use these two distributions as power indicators. The most striking numbers on income inequality will come last, showing the dramatic change in the ratio of the average CEO's paycheck to that of the average factory worker over the past 40 years.


Some of the information may come as a surprise to many people. In fact, I know it will be a surprise and then some, because of a recent study (Norton & Ariely, 2010) showing that most Americans (high income or low income, female or male, young or old, Republican or Democrat) have no idea just how concentrated the wealth distribution actually is. More on that a bit later.


First, though, some definitions. Generally speaking, wealth is the value of everything a person or family owns, minus any debts. However, for purposes of studying the wealth distribution, economists define wealth in terms of marketable assets, such as real estate, stocks, and bonds, leaving aside consumer durables like cars and household items because they are not as readily converted into cash and are more valuable to their owners for use purposes than they are for resale (see Wolff, 2004, p. 4, for a full discussion of these issues). Once the value of all marketable assets is determined, then all debts, such as home mortgages and credit card debts, are subtracted, which yields a person's net worth. In addition, economists use the concept of financial wealth -- also referred to in this document as "non-home wealth" -- which is defined as net worth minus net equity in owner-occupied housing. As Wolff (2004, p. 5) explains, "Financial wealth is a more 'liquid' concept than marketable wealth, since one's home is difficult to convert into cash in the short term. It thus reflects the resources that may be immediately available for consumption or various forms of investments."


We also need to distinguish wealth from income. Income is what people earn from work, but also from dividends, interest, and any rents or royalties that are paid to them on properties they own. In theory, those who own a great deal of wealth may or may not have high incomes, depending on the returns they receive from their wealth, but in reality those at the very top of the wealth distribution usually have the most income. (But it's important to note that for the rich, most of that income does not come from "working": in 2008, only 19% of the income reported by the 13,480 individuals or families making over $10 million came from wages and salaries. See Norris, 2010, for more details.)
