Wealth Accumulation vs. Wealth Creation
September 29, 2025
🛡️
Accumulation (Defense)
Building a stockpile of resources over time by saving and investing to preserve purchasing power. The goal is to keep and grow your slice of the economic pie.
🚀
Creation (Offense)
Generating new value that didn't exist before through innovation, entrepreneurship, or productivity. The goal is to expand the economic pie itself.
