Produce more than you consume

To save money, invest it and have it grow for you, you must spend less than you make.

If you keep spending as much as you make, or more than you make, you will continue to be broke.

If you produce more value than you consume, your wealth will grow.  As it grows, it will compound.  As it compounds, it works for you, and you will have to work less.

Yes, it takes a long time, but if you never get started, it will never happen.  The best time to get started was years ago.  The second best time is now.

The first part is spending less than you make.  You can spend less than you are spending now, make more, or both.

Produce more than you consume.
