To increase your wealth, you need to make a few changes in your life. These adjustments can be as simple as turning off lights when not needed or opening the windows if the weather is nice! Here are 10 things that will help you reach the goal of enhancing your income and financial security.




When COVID hit, many of us were forced to change the way we live and work. I went through my bills and found anything I could cut. For example, my internet bill showed that I was paying a monthly rental equipment fee for the modem. I had been paying this fee for the last year and a half! Instead, I purchased a modem/router and now save money each month. To note: it did take about 10 months for the modem to finally pay for itself.
In addition, I like to open my windows when the weather is nice. If there is a nice breeze, it helps add fresh air flow through my home. Some expensive upgrades I made around my home are updating my windows with energy-efficient windows and blinds. Since I updated my windows, I haven’t had to use my heater!
How can I increase my wealth quickly?
Set a goal and write it down
If you tend to be a spender or impulse buyer, set a goal for yourself. Write it down and remind yourself why it’s so important to you.



What is the best way for a person to increase wealth?
A person should start with themselves. If a person is not satisfied with their current financial state, then they need to work on changing it and making improvements.
When it comes to improving your financial status, you need to start with the basics. First of all, find out what is wrong and how you can make changes for improvement.
Start small with your bills
Pay off your credit card debt first
If you have a lot of credit card debt, then the best place to start is by getting rid of it! Start with the credit card with the highest interest rate first. Pay that off and work your way through your credit card bills.



Invest in a Roth IRA
This is a great way to save for your future. If you are eligible, make sure that you take advantage of this opportunity!
I had a retirement account with a former employer and didn’t do anything with it for decades. A few years ago, I decided to get serious and start contributing again. I opened a Roth IRA with my credit union and contribute each month. My bank automatically deposits for me. I don’t see it or worry about it either.
Start an emergency fund of three to six months worth of expenses saved up
If you have an emergency, are laid off, or get sick this fund will help keep your finances on track.
Make sure to pay yourself first!
This means that once a week/month, set money aside for savings before allocating funds to bills and other expenses. This helps with budgeting because you know how much money is available to you.
Create a budget and stick to it
Figure out what you make each month and how much goes to bills, food, gas, etc.
Earn more money by working second jobs/tweaking your resume for better job opportunities
Save as much as possible! It is great to use coupons but if you can’t afford a product, don’t buy it!
Donate your time to help others and gain experience
This isn’t going to net you money but it will allow you to learn new things. If there is something that interests you or if you want more experience in a specific area then volunteer at a nonprofit center or take on freelance work.
Don’t forget to set aside money for fun! Without some downtime, you’re going to go crazy. Perhaps this is a trip with your loved ones or something that helps clear your mind such as exercising or meditation. Whatever it is, make sure that you take time out of the day and week to do things just because they are enjoyable.



Evaluate your spending
Evaluate your spending habits for areas where you can cut back on costs (i.e., coffee, cable TV) and redirect those funds to savings and investments.
Be smart about where you invest your money
Don’t be afraid of investing in yourself or someone else! Rather than putting money into a bank account, put it towards something that will help your future growth such as education, real estate, etc.
There are many ways to enhance your wealth. However, the most effective way is through paying off your debt, savings, and investing in yourself with education or skills training. Take baby steps if needed. Get in the habit of eliminating any debt you have. Once your debt is gone, you can focus on saving money each month.



This is such a interesting and helpful post and thank you for sharing.
Very good suggestions! I would suggest that people think about how they spend their money. It doesn’t matter how much money you make if you’re always in debt. If you’re jobs are too risky & you’re unable to save something for an emergency or a slow/shut down like this recent virus. Buy ‘something’ – one bedroom condo – so at the end of the day you have a (hopefully paid off) place to lay your head without much worry. Having a decent house paid off to leave your loved ones is the best way to leave them a boost towards wealth when they don’t have a rent/mortgage payment each month.
This is great info thanks we could all use help now with finances .
Thank you for all these great tips
thank you for these great tips
Thank you for the hints on how to save and prepare for life. I have always been frugal when it comes to money and spending. I watch what I spend it on and how to get the best value for my money.
This is information I think should be shared with some of the younger folks. There are so many younger people with big debt – education loans, rents, car payments, child care – I truly believe they need all the suggestions/info out there. It’s hard for these younger folks now and COVID made life harder for many, not only the youngsters. Information on money management, I believe is a valuable commodity.
I need to be better about evaluating my finances regularly. I haven’t updated my budget in a couple years. Things are so different now, that I know I need to update it.
Great tips! Eliminating debt 10 years ago has made a huge impact to our finances.
Evaluating your spending is so important. It’s amazing how much all the “little extras” add up!
Learning to value and pay oneself first is the best way to accumulate wealth
I’ve done all that – but this covid mess has me underwater
Great tips! Thanks for sharing!
good tips thanks
