"make your treasure work for you. Make it your slave. Make its children work for
you."
It can sound dark and inappropriate but, the author just wants to imply that, if want to
lead yourself toward financial freedom then you should use your assets to generate
further income. This can be easily done by safe investment which generates enough
returns to fight inflation and still make you some good profits.
The traditional Job system works on the model of trading time for money, but since you
have limited time this won't sustain you in long run and as you age your productivity
may also decrease. building wealth using this model will take years and years of
hardwork and still won't be worth it. "making your money work for you , instead of
you working for it "
"A Part Of All You Earn Is Yours To Keep"
The Author implies that you should only keep a part of your total earning for your
expenditures. at least 10% of total income should go for investment. you should always
save and invest from your total income.
