Are you focusing on your working income or your net worth? Wealthy individuals focus on the latter.



To increase your net worth, focus on four key factors: increasing income, savings, investment returns, and decreasing cost of living.



Another helpful tip is to create a net worth statement by adding up all of your assets and subtracting your debts. Commit to tracking and revising this statement each quarter to see growth.



Want to take it a step further? Consider hiring a reputable financial planner to guide your investments and help you reach your financial goals. Ask friends and associates for referrals to find the best fit for you.

Early in my investing years, I did have an advisor who was helpful. At this stage I handle all of those things myself. I have an MBA in Finance, and my brother is similarly educated, so I (rightly or wrongly) figure I can manage without paying someone for assistance.

I would suggest that you're in the minority, SPC Elijah J. Henry, MBA, but I'm glad that you're able to manage your own finances. However, in my experience, many, many people would be well served by finding a reputable financial advisor to guide them. Oversight from numerous Federal and state agencies now provides the consumer with a great deal of protection and fees can be quite modest.
