What if the biggest mistake people make with money is eating their seed instead of their fruit?
In this powerful moment from the What Is Rich? docuseries, Jerome D. Love explains a foundational wealth-building principle that many people overlook.
When you work and earn money, that income is not your reward — it’s your seed.
If you consume your seed immediately through spending, lifestyle upgrades, or unnecessary purchases, you destroy the very thing that could have produced wealth.
Real wealth builders follow a different approach:
• Plant the seed (invest the money)
• Let it grow through income-producing assets
• Harvest the fruit once the investment begins producing returns
Jerome also explains why a number like $2.3 million doesn’t automatically mean someone is rich. It depends on whether that money is:
• Liquid or tied up
• Producing income or sitting idle
• Structured as assets that multiply over time
True wealth comes from assets that produce fruit year after year, not simply the size of the seed.
