A day before, I asked a question.

Money or wisdom?

To be fair, it was a split decision and just as many chose wisdom as did money.

For those who chose money. This thread is for you.

100% of the time, choose wisdom. But I guess it takes wisdom to know that.
"A fool his soon separated from his money."

"Wealth that stayeth to give enjoyment and satisfaction to its owner comes gradually, because it is a child born of knowledge and persistent purpose." - The wealthy merchant.

A lot of people said things like,
I will pay people who have wisdom to work for me when I have money.

Here's what you do not understand, people who have wisdom also have their own agendas and since they know you don't have any knowledge, they may take advantage of you just like Rihanna's accountant.
Thus is also why it is advisable not to invest in a business you have no knowledge in. Would you start a carpentry shop if you have not the least knowledge of carpentry?

Wisdom brings money. But money can not buy wisdom. It can pay the wise, but then the wise will take
advantage of the rich.

Wisdom is the process you go through in order to build stable wealth. Wisdom is knowledge, it is expertise.

Why is it that people win life changing money from gambling/lotteries but their lives are never better for it? They do not have wisdom.
When it comes to building wealth, I will argue that wisdom acquired on the road to riches is more important than the riches itself.

If you were to lose it all, it is the wisdom which you already have that will help you get it back.

You need wisdom to keep money.
You need the knowledge of how money works, how to grow it, what to do with it in order for it to grow even more. Without this wisdom, you're a fool who would soon be parted from his money.

Always choose the process before the cashout.

Let the process lead to the cashout.
That's how your wealth survives and stays. That's how not to be a has been.

The same applies to a lot of things.

"Knowledge is better than silver and gold."
