The Triangle of Wealth Building

Earning, Saving, and Investing


A glowing green triangle labeled "Earning," "Saving," "Investing" on a black background. Text reads "The Triangle of Wealth Building" and "ThinkinginTriangles.com."

The triangle of Earning, Saving, and Investing forms the foundation of growing wealth. Mastering these three components creates financial security and prosperity over time.


  1. Earning: Wealth begins with income. Earning is the act of generating money—through a career, business, or side hustles. The more you earn, the more you have to work with. However, growing wealth isn’t just about how much you make, but what you do with it.

  2. Saving: Saving is the discipline of keeping a portion of what you earn. It builds a safety net, prevents financial stress, and creates opportunities. Without saving, wealth has no foundation. Live below your means to free up capital for the next step.

  3. Investing: Investing is where money grows. By putting savings to work—through stocks, real estate, or businesses—you create passive income and compound growth. Investing turns effort into exponential returns.


Together, earning fuels wealth, saving protects it, and investing multiplies it. Balance all three, and wealth follows.
