There are many paths to becoming wealthy, one of the more popular mechanisms is to use residual income. Residual income is where you do a job once, but continue to be paid for that work for a very long time. For example, if you buy a house (a one time payment) and become a landlord, you will receive rent payment every month for so long as the house exists.

Other ways to produce a residual income is to work in network marketing, where you receive income based on the work that others that you recruit to the company do. This arrangement works well as it is in your best interest to support the people you recruit and make them successful.
