My passion is helping women become wealthy. I notice, however, I rarely, if ever, use the word ‘rich.’
I remember when, decades ago, David Bach sent me a copy of Smart Women Finish Rich. My first book had just been published, one of the earliest finance books geared to women, and he wanted to talk.
I loved what he wrote, but the word, ‘rich’ turned me off. I couldn’t understand why.
Then, last week, I received a newsletter from Nick Maggiulli, titled: Rich vs Wealthy: A Comprehensive Guide to Different Financial Lifestyles.
Finally, I realized why ‘rich’ never resonated.
