This week’s pick is one of those rare finds that you actually want to screenshot, quote in your group chat, and maybe rethink your 10-year plan over chai. ☕
Sahil Bloom’s The 5 Types of Wealth is the gentle reality check we didn’t know we needed and it’s quickly become a team favorite at The Weekly Chai.
The Quick Sip
When you hear "wealth," you probably think dollars. Maybe stocks. Maybe upgrading from your reliable Honda Civic to something a little flashier. (No judgment). Sahil challenges the tired idea that wealth = just money. Instead, he maps out five forms of wealth that make life truly rich. In his The 5 Types of Wealth, he lays out a way to think about life’s real richness:
Time Wealth: The true flex isn’t being busy. It’s choosing how you spend your minutes. "You have more time than your ancestors but less control over how you spend it."
Social Wealth: It’s about who shows up when you need them most. "Depth of connection with those around you" is real currency.
Mental Wealth: Reflection. Curiosity. Space to think bigger. "The greatest discoveries come from asking the right questions."
Physical Wealth: Health is wealth. (And no, you can’t DoorDash a replacement body)."Treat your body like a house you have to live in for seventy years."
Financial Wealth: Money is the tool, not the trophy. "Your wealthy life may be enabled by money, but it will be defined by everything else."
Bottom Line:
Sahil’s blueprint reminds us that a meaningful life comes from balancing all five, not just chasing the next paycheck. The ultimate takeaway: Wealth isn’t just a bank balance. It’s a life you’re proud to live. 💬
