without investments would there be wealthy?

[Chilwell]

Investment comes after having to secure to a regular means of income. People can't be that Rich by starting investment for the first time without a proper business that they were working then after which they puts their dividends into investments which be their last options.
From OP, investment is actually good but needs a propeller something that would easily pushed the money to flow on a consistent or constant basis.

But it's obvious that someone can be wealthy without investments. If you have a better source of income and you are a hardworking type you can be a successful person even without investments, must especially if you are good at financial management and also have perfect and excellent way of thinking and good decision making skills.

Because they are also some certain things that an investor also need to put into consideration for him/ her to be successful in his or her investment. And before you think of investing you must have money at hand, if an individual doesn't have any source of income, it will be very difficult for the person to start investment.

An individual must possess some characteristics to drive success in his investment e.g being knowledgeable, commitment, discipline, patient, consistency, emotional control, confidence contentment and so on.

Being knowledgeable about investment will helps the investor to differentiate between the right thing that will beneficial and profitable them, and the wrong thing that can cause any implications to their investment. It is very important for an investor to stabilize his emotion to prevent fear, depression and anxiety. Investment take some periods of time before the investors can enjoy the fruit of their labor, and you must wait patiently for the purpose of securing a successful investment. You must have faith and confidence in yourself and stop doubting your investment. An investor must be a disciplined person and maintain justice and equality.

An individual must possess these qualities because there are the factors that fuels success in investment and they are part of the ethics and etiquette of an investor.

People can get wealthy through investments, but you need money to start the investment so if you don't have something doing that you can diversify funds into investment you can't do it. Firstly you need to have a Job, business or skill that earns you money before you can invest so I will say that investments are secondary sources of making money. Invest means to put your money into something and if you don't have the money there is no way of getting wealthy through it. Most rich and wealthy people don't get to that position earning only from one source, they diversify into other businesses and invest money into others to get multiple sources of income, that is how to remain rich.

The main job or main source of income is the most determining factor in becoming rich or not, but certainly investment is something beyond that to make it easier for someone to achieve wealth because it is also impossible for there to be an investment made if someone does not have a main source of income and I think the investment that will be able to become rich also depends on the amount so investment is just a step that needs to be taken and the most important thing is to continue to look for as much main income as possible.

I wouldn't want to create a very lengthy topic to post as I don't see any reason for doing so..
So I was thinking something tonight that everyone or anyone who succeeded or becoming wealthy today do they really succeed through investments?

If yes, then how many people around you becoming wealthy through investments?

In my opinion, the majority of people who were successful today started from personal skill or self development, after which before they started investments.

What Is your thoughts over this?

Obviously, wealth is normally gotten from investment, numerous investments if I must say, it is very rare seeing any wealthy man in this present generation that got wealthy through a salary earning or mere skill acquired.

Wealth is not built over night, it takes years to build wealth, it take commitment, sacrifice, consistent, decipline and more to build wealth.

Being wealthy is not all about how much cash you have in your bank account, rather is about how much you have in asset that keep multiplying for you on a daily basis. Thank you

I get what you’re saying, but let’s be real for a sec — Warren Buffett didn’t start getting insanely rich until he was 50, even though he’d been investing since his 20s.

A lot of wealthy people got there not through clean investing but through shady deals, monopolies, or worse.

Yeah, some had real talent and used it to get ahead. But eventually, it all turns into control, domination, and crushing rivals to stay on top.

[Bright0515]

Well everything requires investment from the skill they get the money for investment, they invested their time and seriousness in it.

I think there would still be wealth without investment but investment boosts the wealth only skill can make wealth but it would take some lengthy years to get there but when you invest you draw wealth closer and even faster.

To be realistic, the true path to lasting wealth is through business and investment. According to Robert Kiyosaki in his books Rich Dad Poor Dad and unfair Advantage, building wealth requires creating multiple streams of income and one of the most effective ways to achieve this is by owning a business.

Yes , one can be rich without Investment in anything. There are people who have skills and they are earning good by no investment. There are many beginners who started their career from broker but after that they made relationships with people and save money from their income which they got from different parties and after they invested in one house and did small investment on that and earned huge amount of money by selling that . He is doing investment again and again and Now he has millions of dollars in the bank . There are also people who know how to invest banks money and they are taking loans from the banks with low interest and they are becoming rich but this process could take time like 10 to 15 years .

A person can still achieve success even without any investment and only relying on the salary he receives every month. That can happen if the salary at his workplace is quite large and he is good enough at managing his finances. But without having an investment, it might be quite difficult for him to maintain that wealth. Especially in a time where inflation continues to occur and the value of paper money continues to decline every year.

Broadly speaking, a person can achieve wealth without investment, but that wealth will not last long.

Wealth is the product of investment when talking about wealth it has a lot to do with having a residual income that is having an income flow without actively participating, considering the high rate of inflation from time to time even  a person with a monthly salary we get use to the amount being paid over time, honestly this shouldn't be a debate because there can never be wealth without an investment, certain person can be considered to be rich rather than saying that they are wealthy and this can be achieved through investment.

Without investment,there Will be no wealthy people. investment is one of the best thing to do.weather it's education, skill. check a round the world and you Will understand me. It also includes time investment. people like Aliko Dangote of Nigeria,Mark Zuckerberg,Elon musk all went into investment.So,to be wealthy you need proper investment, though investment that Will yield profit over time is capital intensive

There are many paths to success or wealth, but not everyone who is successful or wealthy today achieved their success through investing. While investing can be one way to build wealth, there are many other paths to success. As you mentioned, most people start by building skills and finding a source of income. Only after they are financially stable do they usually start investing. If we don't have enough income, how can we invest and to meet your or your family's living needs, difficult to fulfill? Success often comes to those who don't give up. Persistence and hard work in the face of challenges can distinguish successful individuals from unsuccessful ones.

If your parents are wealthy and you were born into a rich family, you don't need to invest to become rich because you already have a wealthy family. And I'm sure most people know this.

But if you're not wealthy and you want to improve your life, you need to find an investment opportunity to get ahead of life's difficulties. Some people will invest in traditional
businesses they are familiar with, while others might go into the crypto space if they have the knowledge and ideas—it all depends on the individual.

I have seen people who inherited wealth from there parents and later became poor in the future due to mismanagement of funds. So whether one is from wealthy or poor family background, they need investment because inherited wealth is quite different from wealth self made wealth. The tendency of being able to maintain self made is high compared to wealth inherited from parents. To crown it all , the fact that one is born into a poor home or rich home doesn't mean the person will be poor or rich. The only way I believe wealth can be made is through investment.

No one has ever been successful in investing without a source of income. For example, investing is a long-term investment, such as a period of 4 to 10 years. If a person does not have a source of income, then how can he wait for 4 to 10 years and get money to build his portfolio. Yes, if a person is very rich by inheritance, then it is possible for him. But for a common person, it is never possible.

To invest, you need a source of discretionary income through which you can continue to buy continuously. You have to buy continuously until you reach the goal of building your portfolio. After the portfolio goal is met, you have to wait until your time limit is over. Investing is a very big journey. A person can never invest continuously without a source of income and can never become rich by investing. To invest, you have to find a source of income.

You are right there is more value placed at a self wealth compared to an inherited wealth including it's maintenance and security, your post reminds me of a family who's father left a housing inheritance more like an estate, the interest of the children was more on the money they kept getting from the tenant and forget that it is also their responsibility to ensure that there is enough to do when it comes to maintenance as well as security which they failed to recognize and do the needful, a building of how many years ago will need maintenance if not it there will be damages and that's exactly what happens and those staying there now may not have a choice and if nothing is done in future time that inheritance will be no more which is wrong.

If your parents are wealthy and you were born into a rich family, you don't need to invest to become rich because you already have a wealthy family. And I'm sure most people know this.

Without starting from scratch, it is enough to continue the wealth inherited from your parents --- but if you cannot manage it well, that wealth can slowly disappear.

There are many opportunities to become wealthy but they become wealthy through investment not by saving and investment can increase your wealth over time.

Nowadays many successful people have invested in Bitcoin at low prices and are now reaping substantial wealth after years of building it up.

There are definitely some steps before investing. We cannot invest directly if we do not have the skills or knowledge. In the beginning, a person needs skills. With that skills, he is able to convert that money into investment through income and after that he can become the owner of wealth. But if someone wants to own wealth directly, it is not possible. Those who do not have knowledge cannot also own wealth. Some people can get lucky through gambling and acquire wealth, in that case, if he does not have knowledge, then he will not be able to retain the wealth obtained through gambling.

Investment comes after obtaining a main source of income. Investment is for emergency purposes and to make sure that the money obtained won't just end up running out. Because obviously you are going to have to spend the money and you need something to double the money especially over time when it is time for retirement or maybe other major life event.

I believe there's a difference between success and wealth. Not all successful people are considered wealthy; they simply have a job and a large income, but without wise management, they will never become wealthy.
Achieving wealth isn't easy, and if you look at the world's wealthy today, they have their own methods. A large percentage of them invest. This is the most likely path to wealth, so I believe it's something we must do if we want to be rich.

[Obulis]

I grab ur point of view, and I agree intoto with a lot of your point. Majority of wealthy people didn’t just *start* with investments—it was a gradual step by step move, they built something first. It could either be a skill, a business, a career, or a combination, this is foundation which came as a result of personal growth and effort.

As for people around me, few became wealthy directly through investments. Many of them used investments to cultivate their wealth, they did not create it from scratch.
But then majority wins. So yeah, self-development looks like the starting of wealth building without which investment (s) alone does not usually go far.
