Wealth is assets that earn while you sleep.
It’s the factory of robots cranking out things. Wealth is the computer program running at night that’s serving other customers. Wealth is money in the bank that is reinvested into other assets and businesses.
A house can be a form of wealth because you can rent it out; although that’s a less productive use of land than running a commercial enterprise.
You want wealth because it buys you the freedom you don’t have to wear a tie like a collar around your neck; so you don’t have to wake up at 7:00 a.m. to rush to work and sit in commute traffic.
