12 Money Rules to Build Wealth
Money is the root of all evil. That’s what Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden. He told her that if she ate from the Tree of Knowledge, she would be like God. She would know good and evil and be able to do anything she wanted with it. It was the Devil’s way of getting her to sin against God.
But Eve didn’t listen. She ate the apple and was tempted by the Devil. She then gave birth to Cain, who killed Abel, the first man ever born. After that, Cain married his sister and then killed his brother. He was then kicked out of the Garden of Eden and went to live with his mother.
Money has the same effect on people as the apple did on Eve. Money can tempt you to do things you shouldn’t do and make you do things you shouldn’t do. Money can also corrupt you, cause you to do things that you should never do, and even cause you to kill someone.
If you have a job, you are working for someone else and you don’t get paid for the work you do. If you get fired or quit, you lose your money. So if you’re going to work, you need money. You have to work hard to earn it so that you can use it to buy things you want and avoid spending it on things you don’t want.
The problem with working is that it doesn’t bring you any satisfaction. You might be able to make enough money to pay your bills, but you won’t be happy about it. You might be able to buy a car, but you’ll be upset that you can’t afford to take the family out for dinner every night. And if you don’t get paid on time, you’ll feel angry and frustrated.
If you’re not working for someone else, you still need money. You need to find a way to make money. You can start a business and sell something that you make yourself. You can start a home-based business and sell something you make at home. Or you can start a business online and sell products you buy for a small commission.
Or you can get a second job. But there are two problems with this: First, you have to get up early enough to go to work. And you have to come home late enough to get ready for bed. Second, you have to make sure that you work hard enough to make money. Otherwise, you won’t make enough to pay your bills.
So how can you make money without working? How can you build wealth without having to work? There are many ways to make money. Here are twelve ways to do it.
1. Invest Your Money
You have to put your money somewhere. If you don’t invest it, it will sit there and do nothing for you. If you invest it, it will grow. But you have to make sure that it grows in the right direction.

2. Sell Something
There are two ways to sell something: You can either sell it yourself or you can hire someone to sell it for you.

3. Buy Something
There are two kinds of people: Those who buy things when they are low and those who buy things when they are high. Those who buy low will always end up losing money.
