Plenty of very unhealthy people have incomes.Wealth is a strategic placement of funds, calculated decisions, and educated spending, saving, and investing that all equal a system in which one considers themselves "set up" to enjoy life without the constant hassle of making ends meet.Theoretically one could flip houses for years, earning well into the upper echelon of tax brackets and still not be wealthy, or be completely wealthy, depending on how they see the daily activities of their lives as either a job, or a hobby that pays well.But to get right down to what I think you're asking Christy, is "what is the best approach to wealth?"

In addition, automobiles were becoming commonplace for the wealthy and middle class allowing cross country travel.

Coaching is like a diet program, they can work if you just work the plan. 

I had too much of a spend spend spend mentality and never took enough time or thought to what I needed to do to live a more comfortable and wealthy life.

I know this is a part of becoming wealthy.  

They are all debatable but here are my two main reasons for investing locally (we have 15 multi family buildings in Everett):- large chunks of appreciation will make you far more wealthy than a few hundred extra dollars of cashflow every month- I like investing in real estate because it is a physical asset I can force appreciation into with my own work and I can’t do that as well when I’m investing out of state

Over the long haul, you will be much more wealthy with this road, then paying cash as you go.

Your other school of thought could be looking for an investor who is wealthy but short on time to partner up with. 

@Chris John I’m way too busy getting wealthy off of RE to discuss politics.

There's a lot of temptation to have glitz and glamour but I'm assuming the point of real estate wealth, is early retirement, a legacy and financial freedom (which to me are financial options).
