Built wealth, slowly

"My countrymen, one and all, think calmly and well upon this whole subject. Nothing valuable can be lost by taking time." - Abraham Lincoln in his first inaugural address.

Welcome to the slow side! You won't find any hot stock tips, nor any get-rich-quick investment strategies here. Abraham Lincoln's exhortation was in regard to ending slavery, but he might as well be referring to a more mundane matter - building wealth. Now, if you can't slow down to understand the philosophy of slow wealth, you can leave in haste.

[Pause...]

Whether you are a busy young professional just starting to accumulate wealth, or a baby-boomer needing to rebuild net-worth halved by the financial crisis, you got a tough job cut out for you.

Slow wealth

Aristotle said, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit." Building lasting wealth is more than just a few hot stock tips here and a few good investment strategies there. It involves setting goals, planning, and execution. It requires a state of mindfulness and habits of frugality and discipline. All of these take time, and none of these are easy.

Quick money?

Is there quick and easy money to be made out there. I am sure there is. But "easy come, easy go." Without good habits and sound financial plans to sustain it, that money can be easily lost. Besides, quick and easy money is more often than not just a bait; remember Bernie Madoff? When you believe in quick and easy money, you make yourself vulnerable to scammers.

Invest wisely

Building wealth involves investing your money wisely. Do you take time to read the prospectuses of funds you invest in? Or, do you often rush on a hot tip and regret it afterward? With slow comes deliberation. And with deliberation comes confidence.

Peace of mind

With confidence comes calm and calm begets calm. In the age of turbulence and in the face of doomsayers, do you not want the peace of mind that comes from slow deliberation and calm confidence?
