I'm Poor

Recently, I went to the gym with my friend, a highly successful entrepreneur and investor. She told me something shocking.
"Rich people invest. Poor people save," she said.
My natural instinct was to challenge this statement, as I value saving while also investing most of my money.
"I don't think that's entirely fair to say. Even Warren Buffett doesn't invest all his money in the stock market," I replied.
"Where do you think he puts his cash?" she asked.
"In highly liquid, short-term government bonds like U.S. Treasury bills," I said.
"Then that's not saving anymore, that's investing," she emphasized, "That's why rich people don't save, they invest."
That conversation was truly thought-provoking for me. Reflecting on my own behavior over the years, I've gradually shifted from a "poor" mindset to a "rich" mindset.
Every dollar I earn now, I actively seek ways to invest it.
Even my spare cash doesn't go into a normal savings account anymore. Instead, I put it into high-yield liquid funds to make my money work for me, ever since my financial consultant friend Selena shared with me this good deal.
In less than three months, I've made $695.54 by putting my liquid cash to good use, SAFELY.
If you still prefer to save, I think that's perfectly fine. It's always a journey to gradually transform our mindsets. However, I believe it's important to be open-minded and explore better investment options to make your cash work harder for you.
