In his book, Money Master the Game, Tony Robbins outlines the process of building wealth. Tony has been a role model for me because he’s really talented at making complex situations simple to understand.

So here are Tony’s 5 levels of wealth.

1. Financial security

This is the basic amount of income you personally need to cover your current housing, utilities, food, transportation, and insurance costs. If you have this level of wealth you can explore other ways to make money. You’re not spending lots of time and energy struggling to pay your bills everyday.

2. Financial vitality

This is the level where you have enough money to cover all your basic needs, plus some of your extra spending wants, like nice clothing, dining out, entertainment, and small luxuries.

3. Financial independence

This is where you have enough investments to live the life you’re accustomed to completely independent of work. You will have all your needs and occasional luxuries covered by your wealth. This is the situation my wife and I are in now.

4. Financial freedom

Tony describes this level as enjoying everything you already have today without working, plus a few significant luxuries you want in the future. And you don’t have to work to pay for those luxuries either. 🙂 This sounds kind of like fat FIRE to me.

5. Absolute financial freedom

This is when you have enough money to do anything or buy anything you wanted without working for as long as you live. You could travel anywhere you want, any time you want and stay in the best hotels. 😀 Tony teases, “How would it feel if you and your family never had to want for anything again?”

I think that would feel quite amazing. 😁

Leveling up

Financial freedom and retiring early may seem like huge endeavors when you’re starting out. But by breaking it down into smaller, incremental stages, the overall journey feels more achievable as you move from one level to the next. 😀 It’s interesting how Tony separates the terms “financial independence” and “financial freedom.” A lot of people like myself use them interchangeably though. Putting labels on things is useful, but that’s all they are. What’s actually important are the money, experience, and wealth that each household can create for themselves. My personal goals around money have always shifted and will continue to do so. I hope to one day go from level 3 to level 4, and reach Tony’s definition of financial freedom. Which level do you aspire to reach over the next 5 or 10 years? Different levels of wealth is something I’ll be discussing in my upcoming live Q&A this weekend. You can head over to my YouTube community page to find out more information about the free event. 🙂
