Unless you encounter the good fortune of inheriting money, property, or other assets to fast-track your journey to wealth, savings and investments from your income are the two principal strategies that can make you wealthy. That income can be earned in two main ways:

  • Active or earned income: such as wages, salaries, tips, commissions e.tc which usually involves a degree of exertion to generate.
