The Seven Levels of Wealth: The Path to Financial Freedom

  When we hear the word "wealth," we often associate it with vast financial resources, a luxurious lifestyle, and a lack of limitations. However, wealth has many facets, and the journey to achieving it is filled with challenges and stages. We can identify seven levels of wealth that reflect the gradual evolution from financial dependence to complete financial freedom. Let's take a closer look at these levels. 1. Financial Dependence The first level is financial dependence. This is a state where your financial life relies on the support of others or institutions—family, government, loans, or debts.

The History of the Pareto Principle Vilfredo Pareto observed that 80% of the wealth in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. This observation led to the broader principle that 80% of effects come from 20% of causes.
