90% of investing is managing yourself, not your money. Equities don't make people wealthy; people make themselves wealthy through their own behavior.

The Investor Gap refers to the significant difference between market returns and what the average investor actually earns. For instance, while the S&P 500 may average over 8% over twenty years, the average investor often only sees about 4.25%. This gap exists because many people struggle to stay disciplined and often exit their investments prematurely instead of staying the course to build long-term wealth.
In his book Simple Wealth, Inevitable Wealth, Nick Murray defines wealth as true financial freedom. It is the ability to generate enough income to live a joyful life without constant worry about future finances. According to Murray, wealth building is inevitable for the disciplined investor who understands that equities are simply a tool, while the individual's behavior is what ultimately creates a fortune.
Disciplined investing is simple because the strategy involves staying invested in equities like the S&P 500 to capture market growth over time. However, it is difficult because it requires emotional control and the ability to ignore the urge to leave the market during fluctuations. As Miles and Lena discuss, wealth isn't about complex secrets; it is about the discipline to remain on the path until financial goals are met.
