Discipline to postpone gratification

If you look around, you'll notice that we're surrounded by advertisements designed to persuade us to spend money on things we don't need. The new new cars, new shoes, new designer labels, new iPhones..the list goes on and on.

If you know you want to be wealthy someday, you should learn to put off purchasing these items until you have more than enough money, that is when your investment have yield maximum interest and profit.
This does not stop you from indulging yourself in some of life's small pleasures. The truth is that; you can always postpone purchasing luxuries until you have arrived at your desired financial goals. You must learn to live significantly below your incomes if you are on the journey of being wealthy.
