Earning money is hard, saving money is damn hard, getting rich and being able to live comfortably is insane.
For me saving just for short term, you can't earn anything and your wealth will decrease over time. People have to take big risk if they want to be rich, if they only take some risk or little risk, it's not enough.
What does big risk mean? it's a risk where you can lost all of the money you invest e.g. start a business, invest in new thing etc.
Sometimes you tend to work harder than you expect inorder to be at a balance, that's why you see most great business owners ending up taking huge risks and decisions that they think it's safe in bringing profits and growth to their Business.. and as well applying the system of multitasking is a good decision to achieve one's goal.
