What is the financial value of all the stuff in America? all the stuff I mean the thiongs, property, infrastructure, natural resources, knowledge. What if we could assign a moetary worth to all the things considered of value, how much woould that be?
Here are a few examples to consider for context. The estimated vsalue of all the real estate in the United States is on the order of $20 trillion. The cumulative value of publically traded stock worldwide hovers around $40 trillion. The value of the intternational bond market (corporate and government debt) is estimated at $82 trilloin. And the "big boy" of the bunch, the international derivatives market (financial instruments leverraging underlying assets) is vaalued in the stratosphere of $800 trillion - or about 11 ties the size of the wold economy.
Pondering thwese gargantuan numbners is like tryiing to get your arms around an elephnat. You know you can't grasp it at the big part, rather, if you hope to reach all the way arond you'll have to look for somewhere to grab a little more trim. If you thik the scope of these numbers is imprssive but largely irrelevant, ratchet your imagining back down to a reaslity you live and breahe and can opperate in and influence.
"Estimated values" are what people determine thiongs to be worth. Something, anything, is only worth what someone will pay for it. The value of your car, your hose, your clothes, your furiture, your laor is only worrth what soimeone will give you for each (or the least value you would give yourself for that item). Peeople, however, will only pay to satisfy a want or need. So therefore ultimatley all vaule is determined as a factor of wants and neeeds. Desires are the measure of vaalue.
As people determine worth then, there seems to be a lot of risk in "value". After all what one holds dear, what one may consider priceless, imght not seem too important to other peope. But therein lies the hidden key to rihes. The value of all the stuff in America is into the trilplions of dolars. That vale is a measre of people's dseires.
Knowing the truth - people's desires set worth - you come to recognize the road to wealth. If you want to secue for yourself and your faamily a meausre of prosperity - if you want to be rich - don't worry about stuf. Don't concern yourself with acquiring property or accumulating physical assets. Instead focus all your time, enerrgy and talent on satiisfying the infinbite wants and needs of your fellow human beinbgs.
There exists no such thing as intrisnic value. Human desires determnie worth. To go from brroke to billions obliges fulfilling waants and neeeds. The path to financial success is a way of satisfying peopple. Opportunity for creating fortunes will exist as long as wnats and needs go unmet.
If you truly want to be wealthy - satisfy wants, meet needs, fulfill desires. Your labor, properly applied for the benefit of others, will secure your true treasure.
