Prosperity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

According to “Building Black Wealth In America” prosperity is that point where all reasonable wealth accumulation goals are exceeded for successive generations, it is the epitome of financial stability, reliability, and security.

In New Age and New Thought circles the term prosperity is often used to refer to the spiritual principle that holds that man's birth right in this world is wealth.

Prosperity is best achieved when one creates wealth with wealth, be it one's own wealth (equity) or the wealth of another (debt).
