The average net worth of the 1%, aka the richest 1% of the global population's households, has mushroomed over the past two decades.

  If you want to build wealth fast – like really fast – then investing in a vehicle such as a Roth IRA will not get you there. If you’re younger and your income limits allow, open up a Roth IRA. Invest in mutual funds and ETFs. Make sure you have enough cash in your emergency fund. Starting your financial life with those good habits will bleed over into your success in building wealth. Okay, so how do you build wealth fast? Let’s take a look. Drop Your Living Expenses Like Crazy I know, this isn’t very exciting, but this is the definition of wealth.
