For most people, the goal would be to have a sizeable amount of money so that they can have a comfortable life and not worry about money, which is usually the number one concern for most people.

The key to accumulating wealth is simple:

  1. Firstly, sell your time for money,
  2. Secondly, spend less than you earn,
  3. And lastly, invest your savings so they will grow without your active intervention.

This would be the non-complicated method and straightforward method. You need not do anything drastic, or different from an average person. Additionally, you need not invent anything or take on huge risks to start a business or etc.

That’s it. It’s a simple input and output problem.
