The path to wealth requires just two words: industry and frugality. This means to waste neither money nor time and in the mean time, make the best of both. Some say that wealth is actually a state of mind or another way to say it would be, wealth is created through a state of mind.
A small number of people obtain wealth with just one single stroke as most rich people, grow rich, over time. Once you begin acquiring property and money, the growth is easy as it comes from habits that are a part of your life and once you find yourself on the road to wealth, it would be hard if not impossible to get off that road.
There are those who feel that if you live with just the things that nature requires, then you can never be poor. Too many people live not according to reason but in a way that has been set by others. It is also understood that anyone who is poor and lets other know that fact, and this person makes no effort to change that fact, is the one responsible for his own unhappiness. The poor spend more than they bring in and that is where the problem lies.
