The True Definition of Wealth vs. Money and Status
"Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy."
Description
This foundational quote distinguishes between wealth (productive assets that generate passive income), money (a transient tool for exchange), and status (a zero-sum social game). It argues that the path to financial freedom is through ownership and assets, not just earning money or climbing social ladders.
