of it to build wealth, ensuring they have financial security in
the future. Generating enough money for business ventures or
investments goes hand in hand with creating wealth. Making
small changes in lifestyle can limit spending and increase
savings so that even people on the lowest incomes can
take their first steps on the road to affluence.- Earning income
