Are You Resourceful : The Difference Between Wealth And Riches by awakon(m): 4:27pm On Oct 16, 2015
Wealth and riches are often used interchangeably. By dictionary definition, both have something to do with having plenty money.

However, there is a subtle difference which is foundational. Wealth has to do with resourcefulness while riches have to do with having money.

When you are resourceful, you can create your circumstances rather than reacting to what life throws at you. You can use what you already have to make money rather than wait for what you don’t have to show up.

You will hardly come across a ‘get-wealthy-quick’ scheme while ‘get-rich-quick’ schemes are all over the place. You cannot get wealthy quick. Wealth or resourcefulness is an inside job.

Herein lies the main problem with working for money – you can get richer without getting wealthier. You are trying to become rich by working for a wealthy person, rather than learn how to become wealthy.

You are looking for fish rather than learning how to fish. Most employees when they retire, ‘levels’ changes, downwards.

A wealthy person is not rich because he has money. He is rich because he knows how to make money. If you take all his money away and banish him to Siberia, he will make his money back again, maybe more.
