Hello and welcome to Top 10s You Should
0:02
Know. Let me hit you with a truth that
0:04
might sting a little. The wealthy don't
0:07
work harder, they work smarter. They
0:09
don't save pennies their whole lives.
0:11
They use tools that multiply their money
0:13
while they sleep. And the crazy part,
0:15
most of these tools are available to all
0:17
of us. But most people don't even know
0:18
they exist. The rich don't depend on
0:21
luck. They depend on systems,
0:24
strategies, instruments, and today we're
0:28
breaking down the top 10 tools the
0:30
wealthy use to multiply money
0:32
effortlessly and how you can start using
0:34
them, too, no matter where you are on
0:36
your financial journey. Ready to think
0:38
like the rich? Let's begin. One, index
0:43
funds. Index funds are one of the
0:45
quietest yet most powerful wealth-b
0:47
buildinging tools out there. And the
0:48
rich love them for one reason. They
0:51
don't need to guess the market. Instead
0:53
of gambling on one hot stock, index
0:55
funds invest in hundreds of companies at
0:57
once, like the S&P 500. Over time, they
1:01
offer steady growth, low fees, and
1:03
minimal effort. It's the opposite of
1:06
hype-driven investing. No flashy trading
1:08
apps, no gut decisions, just long-term
1:11
commitment. The wealthy know they can't
1:13
control the market, but they can ride
1:15
its overall upward trend. And with
1:18
reinvested dividends and compounding
1:19
returns, their money just keeps working
1:22
even while they're not. If you want to
1:24
grow wealth passively, this tool is the
1:26
foundation. And the earlier you start,
1:28
the more powerful it becomes.
1:31
Two, tax advantaged accounts like IAS,
1:36
Taxes silently eat away at your
1:38
earnings. The wealthy know this and they
1:40
fight back by using tax shelters. IAS,
1:43
401ks, and Roth accounts allow money to
1:45
grow either tax deferred or tax-free.
1:48
Let's say you invest $6,000 annually for
1:50
20 years. In a regular brokerage
1:52
account, you'd owe taxes every time your
1:55
investments earn. But inside a Roth IRA,
1:58
that growth can be completely tax-free.
2:01
That's like giving your money
2:02
superpowers. Wealthy individuals max out
2:05
these accounts each year, often for
2:07
themselves and even their children. And
2:09
if they're business owners, they open
2:11
solo 401ks or seep IAS to shelter even
2:14
more. The key here isn't just making
2:17
money, it's keeping more of it. This
2:19
tool alone could mean the difference
2:21
between retiring broke or retiring
2:24
wealthy. Three, real estate with
2:26
leverage. Wealthy people don't just buy
2:29
real estate, they leverage it. That
2:31
means using a relatively small amount of
2:33
their own money to control a much larger
2:34
asset. For example, with just 20% down,
2:37
they can own 100% of a property. Then
2:40
renters cover the mortgage. Over time,
2:42
property value increases, the loan
2:45
balance shrinks, and equity builds. All
2:48
without them lifting a finger beyond
2:49
managing the asset. This is powerful.
2:52
While others save slowly, the rich
2:54
amplify their wealth using other
2:55
people's money, the banks and the
2:57
tenants. They also benefit from tax
2:59
deductions, depreciation, and passive
3:01
cash flow. And during recessions, people
3:04
still need places to live. Real estate
3:07
doesn't just multiply money, it builds
3:11
Number four, compound interest accounts.
3:14
Compound interest is what Albert
3:15
Einstein reportedly called the eighth
3:17
wonder of the world. And for good
3:19
reason. Imagine this. You invest $10,000
3:22
at 8% annual return. After 10 years, it
3:28
After 20 years, $46,600. after 30 over
3:34
That's the power of interest on
3:36
interest. Your money begins to multiply
3:39
without you adding a single extra cent.
3:41
Wealthy people understand this deeply.
3:43
They start early, automate their
3:45
contributions, and never touch the
3:47
principle. Over time, the snowball
3:49
effect creates massive wealth from
3:51
simple, boring consistency. You don't
3:54
need to hit home runs. You just need to
3:56
let the time work its magic. Five, high
3:59
yield savings accounts and CDs. Cash
4:02
should never sit idle. The rich
4:04
understand that even their emergency
4:05
funds should earn money. Instead of
4:08
keeping savings in traditional accounts
4:09
that pay less than 0.1%,
4:12
they use high yield savings and CDs,
4:15
certificates of deposit that offer 10 to
4:18
20 times the return. It's not about
4:20
becoming a millionaire overnight. It's
4:22
about squeezing every bit of value from
4:24
their money. Whether it's a $5,000
4:27
emergency fund or $100,000 in reserves,
4:31
earning four to 5% interest makes a big
4:34
difference over time. CDs are especially
4:36
useful for planned savings like a
4:38
wedding car or tuition because they
4:40
offer higher returns in exchange for
4:42
locking funds short-term. This is how
4:44
wealthy people keep even their safe
4:46
money productive. Six, business
4:49
ownership and equity.
4:51
The rich don't trade all their time for
4:53
money. They build systems that earn
4:56
money even while they sleep. That
4:58
system, owning a business, whether it's
5:00
a consulting firm, an online store, a
5:03
restaurant, or a software product,
5:04
business ownership allows them to earn
5:06
from the labor of others. Unlike a job,
5:10
which pays based on hours, a business
5:12
scales with leverage and creativity. And
5:14
if they don't want to start one from
5:16
scratch, they invest in others
5:18
businesses, buying equity in companies
5:20
they believe in. This is how
5:22
billionaires are made. By owning pieces
5:24
of businesses that grow without limit.
5:27
Even a small business can change your
5:29
life. Because ownership doesn't just
5:31
generate income. It builds control,
5:34
freedom, and wealth. Seven. Life
5:37
insurance as an investment. IL's whole
5:40
life. This might surprise you. Wealthy
5:42
people often use life insurance as a
5:44
wealth-b buildinging tool. Permanent
5:46
policies like whole life or indexed
5:48
universal life IL offer a cash value
5:51
that grows tax deferred. They can borrow
5:53
against it, use it as collateral or pass
5:55
it on tax-free. It's like a secret
5:58
savings account with legal advantages.
6:00
While it's not for everyone, the ultra
6:02
wealthy use it as a low-risk
6:03
taxefficient asset class that doubles as
6:05
protection. Eight, donor advised funds.
6:09
Rich people give generously but smartly.
6:12
Donor- advised funds, DAFFs, allow them
6:14
to donate money, get the tax deduction
6:16
now, and choose how to give later. They
6:18
reduce taxable income, avoid capital
6:21
gains, and allow charitable impact at
6:23
scale. It's strategic generosity, and
6:26
it's powerful. Most people give from the
6:28
heart. The wealthy give from both heart
6:30
and brain. Nine, financial advisers and
6:33
money teams. Think the rich manage it
6:35
all alone? Nope. They have teams. CPAs,
6:38
advisers, estate planners, investment
6:40
managers. They pay experts to multiply
6:43
their wealth efficiently and legally.
6:45
Why? Because they know one wrong move
6:47
can cost thousands. And one smart move
6:50
can earn even more. If you don't have a
6:52
financial team, start with a budget
6:54
coach or a fiduciary adviser. Wealthy
6:57
people don't figure it out alone. They
6:58
build a circle of skill. 10. Automated
7:01
investing tools. Robo advisers, auto
7:03
transfers. Here's a secret weapon.
7:05
Wealthy people remove emotion from
7:07
investing. They automate everything.
7:10
Regular contributions, balanced
7:11
portfolios, rebalancing apps like
7:14
Betterment, or even built-in bank
7:16
features make this easy. Set it once and
7:18
your money grows without you having to
7:20
touch it again. This removes fear,
7:23
inconsistency, and forgetfulness, all
7:25
killers of long-term wealth. If you
7:27
don't automate, you hesitate. And the
7:30
rich, they don't hesitate to build
7:32
wealth on autopilot. There you have it.
7:34
10 tools the wealthy use to multiply
7:36
money effortlessly. These aren't tricks.
7:39
They're not hacks. They're systems,
7:43
The difference is the wealthy use them.
7:45
The average person ignores them. But now
7:48
you know. And you don't have to be a
7:50
millionaire to start. Just consistent,
7:52
informed, and committed. So, let me ask
7:55
you, which one are you already using?

harder. It's about working smarter with
