Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What's the first step to achieving wealth, according to Richard Temple's book 'The Rules of Wealth'?

Answer: Thinking wealthy

Know that you have the same rights and opportunities as anyone else and accept that it's okay to have money; it's not the root of all evil.

2. To grow wealth, one should start with a bit of capital and then invest it wisely. What does 'The Rules of Wealth' tell us is the best way to get the capital to start with?

Answer: Save money earned through skills

Don't borrow if you can avoid it. You'll only have to pay interest on it. Obviously, anything illegal is just not worth it. Hone your skills, save your earnings, and then invest wisely.

3. What does the book 'The Rules of Wealth' propose as the best way to save?

Answer: Live sensibly, enjoy life, and put away a regular set amount before you spend

Don't give up your daily cappuccino; it'll just make you miserable. Don't penny pinch, enjoy your small pleasures, but save regularly.

4. What harmless activities does the author of 'The Rules of Wealth' tell us we should incorporate into our wealth building strategy?

Answer: Take your profits and re-invest them into the same, or other investment

You should build your wealth ethically, and morally, and be proud of having earned it through your (considerable) efforts.

5. What's the best way to get financial advice when you need it, as recommended by 'The Rules of Wealth'?

Answer: Pay for advice from an accredited professional in the field

Someone who's making money in the area you're interested in might not welcome a competitor! The internet is full of advice, good and bad, and it's generally difficult to tell which is which. Good advice is always worth paying for, but be very careful choosing your advisor. Make sure any financial advice comes from someone who carries membership of a suitable organization, and that they're not being paid commission to sell you something.

6. What does the book 'The Rules of Wealth' say is the best product to invest in on your journey to wealth?

Answer: Anything you understand clearly

Don't buy what you don't understand, and do your homework before investing in anything at all. Money can be made through buy-to-let property and the stock market, but it can very easily be lost too, if you don't know what you're doing. Ignore get rich quick schemes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't a good idea.

7. When is the best time to start saving and investing, according to 'The Rules of Wealth'?

Answer: Today

It's never too late, or too early to start investing. Begin today, and you'll be surprised how much you can do with a bit of dedication.

8. Once you've made some money, how does the book 'The Rules of Wealth' recommend that you respond to approaches for loans from friends, family, employees?

Answer: Don't do it unless you're prepared to lose what you've lent

Lending money can poison relationships amongst families and destroy friendships, so either don't lend them money, or if you do and don't get it back, don't let it ruin your relationships. Consider helping them make their own investments. Invest in employee's business ideas instead of making a loan, and get a return on your investment.

9. What about your children? What does 'The Rules of Wealth' say you should avoid doing to help them achieve wealth?

Answer: Let them know they don't need to think about money, you're going to be rich enough for the entire family

Mr. Temple recommends that you don't protect children from the valuable lesson of poverty. They should learn the value of money, and earn their own before receiving yours.

10. Once you've achieved wealth, what does Richard Temple suggest is the best thing to do with it, in his book 'The Rules of Wealth'?

Answer: Share it, wisely, and keep investing

You've already proved you're good at investing, so keep at it. Share your knowledge, especially with your children so that they learn how to manage and enjoy money. Remember you can't take it with you, so think about how you could leave the world a better place by sharing. Be careful choosing charities, but don't give it all away, you might need it later. Don't get conned, or waste it, or invite trouble by flaunting it!
