I have deliberately left the definition of "best" open to your judgement.

Read the book "The richest man in Babylon" by George S. Clason. It's quite simply the best, most common sense book I have ever had the good fortune to stumble across. It's not one of those 'get rich quick' rubbish. Believe me, I've read enough of those over the years. This is just common sense that when you read it you will think 'Yep that's so obvious, why didn't I think of that before?'. Do yourself a favour, just read it, trust me. It costs £3.99 on Amazon or even less on ebay. It'll be the best few quid you've ever spent. Good luck.

Wanna get away? (Southwest) HAHAHA... My friend if you could have wealth or happiness, what would you chose? Wealth doesn't guaratee good health, security, or even your life. You can lose your life from one monent to another. However, scientifically, happines has been prove to give a person a much better health, age slower, and prolong life longivity. Statistically, people who are often after money and materialistic possesions normally end up with more financial problems than when they first started thinking of becoming wealthy. The bible says: "For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains."
Anyone that is an expert in fiances would tell you this is true. If you look at the statistics, that would also prove this right.
If I were you, I would reconsider my life and prioritize what you really value in life.
Wealth should not be in that list.

Assuming wealthy means just that (and not necessarily happy):
1) Marry a wealthy person. I (by happenstance) married a woman from a wealthy family. And I will encourage my daughter to seek love and a lifelong relationship with men who generally come from wealthy backgrounds (rather than focusing on bums).
2) Go to school, get a degree in a high-paying specialty, live frugally, save all your extra cash and hope to be wealthy at 50yo. I did/do that too (though I'm well shy of wealthy and I've still got 15 years until I'm 50).

Wn the lottery, get a huge inheritance, marry a wealthy man or woman, rob a bank, become a jewel thief, or live like a pauper and save every dime you ever make. None of these are really realistic, and a couple are illegal. Most people never become monetarily wealthy and that really should NOT be your main aim in life. If it is, you will probably be very disappointed.

The best way is to start working on yourself. You need to have the mindset, the attitude that can take you to the next level. And then, repeat that pattern to move even to the next level. The only way that will happen is with the proper input. You need to : 1. Surround yourself with people that have what you're looking for (mentors). 2. Have some sort of training system that keeps you on track. (positive input and knowledge. . .books and audios). 3. STOP watching television, it is just a waste of time.
There are businesses out there that have some of the above already integrated within the business structure. I know of one that has been around for 40+ years and is about to move to another level. If you're interested, read on.
It's an Internet marketing business opportunity that you should find out more about. It's a business that has a system that allows you to build it, develop it, then when it's up and running it allows you to exit and with the extra time you'll have, you'll be able to build, develop and run another. . .it's never ending, IF you're up to it. It's not difficult, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do. It’s as simple as this: Shop on-line (do your regular shopping – toothpaste, toilet paper, deodorant, etc) and get paid for it, then get others to do the same thing and get paid for that, too. It can be developed as a referral business or you can directly market the products. There is a huge variety of products to market, which gives you the advantage of choosing just a few products or even just one product that you're interested in and really get behind it. The affiliated corporation takes care of inventory, shipping, billing/payment procedures, bookkeeping, business reports, etc. Ultimately, you're getting paid for redirecting your shopping and referring others to do the same. It's fun, it's easy, and it is incredibly profitable. There's a saying: We’re making friends, making money, and making a difference. If you'd like more information, contact me at hoozdaboss@aol.com

I guess it depends on your personality and how badly you would like to achieve that goal. Me, I am working towards that with means of my own business. I can't give you a lot of details here since that might be construed as advertising but feel free to email me if you'd like more information.

Emulate those that are wealthy, do what they have done, they have paved the way so why invent the wheel twice?
