Delayed gratification in money terms is simple:
Instead of spending money immediately on lifestyle wants, you hold back and save it first.
You use that money to buy assets like investments, businesses, or anything that grows value or generates income over time.
At first, this feels like sacrifice because you’re not enjoying everything right away.
But later, those assets start producing money on their own.
Then your lifestyle is no longer funded by your job alone—it is funded by your assets.
In short: You delay spending → build assets → let assets pay for your wealth.
