Half the battle with money is convincing yourself that what you've got is enough.
The poorest man can feel rich, and the richest man can feel that his money is so worthless he'd give it all up for the love of his life, a second chance, etc.
So find a balance, and make sure that while you are content with what you have now you're also keeping in mind what you need for the future.
Most companies offer a 401k, which you should be putting as much into per week as you can afford.
(You wouldn't cancel your cell phone service to save for the future, but you could cut back from 5 Starbucks coffees to 3 a week).
But how does one invest beyond that? If you are unsure of where to even begin, a financial planner can sit down with you to help you figure out what's best.
You need to know what your short and long term goals are (A new house? A college savings plan for your child? A long and happy retirement?) Once they know what you are looking to accomplish, wealth managers can help you to put your money where it will do best for your personal goals.
One does not become rich in the market overnight.
Building your portfolio takes time.
That said, with the esteemed help of an investment advisor, the $8 a week you save on coffee can become tens of thousands by the time you are ready to retire.
And at the end of the day, you are as rich as you feel...
so decide what you need and what extras you can cut back on to invest in your future.
