There is a
simple test to determine whether someone will end up wealthy – or if they
already are. All you have to do is watch someone read their favorite newspaper,
especially if it’s one of the big Sundays:

“If you are serious about being wealthy, you will
have to learn how the wealthy think. This means studying the ‘opposition’
although very shortly you will be a part of them. You need to know the lingo
and the language, where they eat and live, how they work and relax; how they
invest and save”

people. Ask questions. Develop a thirst for understanding and knowledge. Read
about wealthy people’s interviews and autobiographies. It can be full of
insights.

You may also
benefit from a few well-chosen business and finance books. I’m not going to
recommend any to you as I don’t know your reading style – find ones that suit
you.

Also, why not log
on to the FT site or the finance pages of other online papers to keep up with
the latest developments in the money market. Get informed.

But what if this all feels a bit too heavy? If, like
me, you like the gossip columns as well as financial pages then you, like me, will
probably never be extremely, mind-bogglingly over-the-top wealthy. We can still
be wealthy – and we might have more fun too. Prosperous and fun – sounds good
to me. I think we have to be really passionate about money if we want lots. We
have to live and breathe and sleep (yes, bearing in mind Rule 12) money. We
have to study hard at ‘the University of Wealth if we want to graduate.
