The 6th type of wealth

Travel Wealth.

In The 5 Types of Wealth, Sahil Bloom makes one argument that reframes everything: money is only one scoreboard. Real wealth is also your time, your relationships, your mind and your health. We think there is a sixth — and it is the one where all the others finally pay off.

Building on Sahil Bloom's five types of wealth (2025) — an evolution of his framework, not a rework.
First, the five you build

The foundation.

Bloom's insight is simple and hard to unsee: stop keeping score on money alone. Keep five scoreboards, and define your own version of enough on each.

01
Time

Freedom over how, with whom, where and when you spend your time.

“How many moments do you have left with the people you love?”

02
Social

The depth and breadth of your relationships — and status you have earned, not bought.

“Who is sitting in the front row at your funeral?”

03
Mental

Purpose, growth, and the space to think clearly.

“What would your ten-year-old self say to you today?”

04
Physical

Health and vitality — the body that carries the whole life.

“Will you be dancing at your eightieth?”

05
Financial

Money — reframed as the enabler of the other four, not the point of them.

“What is your definition of enough?”

Not a sixth item on the list

Travel Wealth sits on top.

The five are what you build. Travel Wealth is what they buy. A great trip is the one moment where time, relationships, health, mind and money all pay off at the same time. So it isn’t a sixth item on the list — it’s the payoff that sits on top of the other five.

Pillar by pillar

How each one pays off.

TimeTime → Travel

Business Class is time wealth made physical. Lie-flat sleep means you do not lose two days to a wrecked body at each end — you arrive as the version of yourself who can actually be present. Bloom's hardest question — how many moments you have left with the people you love — lands here, because the trips are the moments.

SocialSocial → Travel

The trips are where the front-row relationships get built — the anniversary, the family holiday everyone keeps postponing, the long dinner where it finally slows down. Bloom warns against status you buy just to be seen with, and he’s right — this isn’t that. It funds earned time with the people who matter.

MentalMental → Travel

Novelty, perspective, growth. The right trip gives you room to think that never comes at your desk, and makes the journey finally match the life you are building. The wrong one just drains you — which is the whole point of doing it well.

PhysicalPhysical → Travel

Arriving rested instead of arriving destroyed. Almost too on-the-nose — so we will say it plainly: how you travel decides which version of your body walks off the plane.

FinancialFinancial → Travel

Our home turf, and we are CPAs about it. Points punch far above their cash cost: you turn spend you are already making into travel worth many times what it cost you. Bloom calls his own book “an asymmetric investment” — small input, big return. That is exactly how we think about points.

Active recovery, not a passive holiday

Travel as a performance reset.

High performers don’t switch off — they reset. A well-run trip is active recovery: sleep debt cleared, headspace restored, the ideas that never come at your desk finally landing. You come home sharper, not just rested — which is why the seat you fly in is a performance decision, not an indulgence.

It also settles the only real tension with Bloom’s idea of enough. We are not asking you to spend a single dollar more — we turn points your business is already earning, and mostly leaving on the table, into that reset. More life, and more edge, from spend you have already committed.

Not more spending. A better return on the life you are already funding.

The Business Class Compass

The arc, in order.

01 · ADMIRATION
You see what's possible.

The lie-flat seat, the year of trips, the version of the life where the journey matches the work. You admire it — from a distance.

02 · INSPIRATION
You realise it's already yours.

It is built from what you already have — the five you have been quietly compounding, and the points already flowing through your business.

03 · ASPIRATION
You decide it should match.

Building the five to unlock the sixth. You choose to make the journey match the life — and the maths is already on your side.

“Turn everyday expenses into a better way to travel — so the journey finally matches the life you are building.”
