  1. Money (Financial Wealth)
  2. Status (Social Wealth)
  3. Freedom (Time Wealth)
  4. Health (Physical Wealth)

3. Time Wealth

Freedom is having our own time to spend how we want, where we want, with whom we wish to. Time is what we crave. However, time is rare in modern times, where most of us spend earning money and building a social symbol, and to embrace it, everyone needs to understand that time is limited and can never be on our side. There is one more common term, 'cash-rich and time-poor' and we are sure that you want this position to be there to feel wealthy.

4. Physical Wealth

The grip to all other types of wealth and our life put together. Without this, one cannot achieve the different kinds of wealth – well, not in a long and sustainable course of action. Health is our true wealth, and the majority of us fail to invest in our body and mind and or even worthy of achieving other kinds of wealth, but with the right plan, one can easily enhance their health. Small changes in your diet, sleep, and other activities can lead to a considerable impact. If we couple who understand more about our body and minds by reading and surrounding ourselves with the right people, it can be a real game-changer for our overall sense of wealth.

Everyone can fulfil all four types of wealth within their lives. All you need to do is find the right kind of balance, and you will thrive on your own.

Each of these wealth requires years of practice, dedication, humility, understanding, and learning. Consider it as a lifelong practice that does not end because there is no final destination.
