Wealth is what you don’t spend
Many business owners chase a magic number, thinking, “I’ll be financially free once my business hits £X in revenue or when my annual dividends hit £x.”
But here’s the reality: earning big doesn’t guarantee wealth.
I’ve seen entrepreneurs take hundreds of thousands in personal income each year yet still feel trapped—because they spend too much of jt.
Wealth isn’t about what you make; it’s about what you keep and grow. It’s the quiet discipline of saving, investing, and living below your means.
As Morgan Housel puts it, “Wealth is what you don’t spend, which makes it invisible and hard to learn about by observing other people’s lives. Spending is contagious; wealth is mysterious.”*
Don’t let flashy purchases and lifestyle upgrades define your success. Sure, reward yourself—enjoy the fruits of your hard work—but prioritise building a financial foundation first. That’s what delivers real freedom.
