    Just go on the shark tank show, and let Millionaires and Billionaires tell you what is wrong with you!

    Then do it anyway!

    Kid, they’ll just take your money and then tell you to go find people that are stupider.

    You might just as well enroll in Trump University.

    They’re usually asking if I have any spare change so they can “Get something to eat”. While sitting beside to expensive car they’ve just driven up in. Most unusual to be handing out money. Nevertheless, I’d be prepared to give him the benefit of my wisdom for a buck …

    Cute, Wiley. But if it’s a secret, anyone who knows certainly wouldn’t tell him. And not for a dollar. When I was in college, I saw a few bums that panhandled for coffee. I wanted to know the secret to keep from being a bum (as they were called back then). 40+ years later, as a college dropout, I “stumbled” into a job that pays six figures. Did I deserve it? Probably not. So how did I get here? Luck. No planning involved. No grand design for success. No formula for getting wealth. Am I rich now? No. But I can retire right now (at 62) to Hawaii because I have family that lives there. Or I can go live very well in a third world nation of my choice. I’ve been lucky my whole life. Not in a lottery kind of way. But in the ways that mostly matter. So I’d have to say wealth (or a small measure of it) is due to luck or happenstance.

    If the only thing you care about is money, then no matter how much of it you have, you are poor.

    True wealth should not be measured by how much you have. It should be measured by how much you don’t need.

    I am, by my own definition, “accidentally affluent.” I was lucky in that the things I like to do (like programming computers and managing people) pay a lot of money. I also did the right things like not buying what I don’t really need and taking advantage of the “free money” in a 401K and getting lucky by not being hit by things like a major medical expense and being smart enough to pay off the highest interest loans first.

    However, being rich was not my objective. As it was, it turned out to be a consequence.

    I know I could have been richer if I had “squeezed the buffalo” tighter. (Shows you how old I am. Buffalo nickels were still in circulation in my day.) However, I did not want to do the things to make that extra money. I turned down big promotions or chose not to take certain paths even though they might have been more profitable.

    Never ask a rich man how to make money. He’ll just tell you to work for him, at minimum wage, until you learn for yourself.

    My blue-eyed sweetheart and I celebrated our 60th year together last Dec. Been a wonderful ride despite the bumps and potholes and outright troublesome times. And, yes, at times, money has been very tight, and health issues have recently arisen which will not see a cure, but we survive with lots of hugs, laughter, and caring. Had to do it over again, I’d take it over any other choice.

    Of course, the above has nothing to do with gaining wealth, except that some of us measure it in different coin.

    Scrimp & save, scrimp & save. And then buy into a casino and selling scratch-offs to the boomers who told you the lottery is a tax on people who do not know about statistics and probabilities because they will be your best customers

    Go to college and major in a field where there’s demand and actually pays well. Save and invest early and be prudent with your money.

    Ensuring that today’s youths will enjoy the same opportunities for prosperity as their parents requires political, not economic action.

    I will say quit watching television (My family hasn’t done it since 1985. Saves on cable, etc bills) Quit thinking that social media is a blueprint for the way you must live your life. Thrift stores very useful, as can outlet bargain stores. Quit smoking/ drinking/recreational drugs. Exercise regularly. Medical bankruptcy is the largest cause of bankruptcy in the USA. https://www.abi.org/feed-item/health-care-costs-number-one-cause-of-bankruptcy-for-american-families

    That’s exactly it. Ask the right people to loan you money and use that to make more. Other peoples’ money.

    Top cyberscientists decided that the stock market had gotten way too complex for any human being to even figure out, let alone predict, so they programmed a high-powered supercomputer with the world’s most advanced artificial-intelligence software and fed it not only decades worth of stock-market data but also books, essays, and articles by the world’s most knowledgeable financial experts, including billionaires who’d gotten rich on Wall Street. Then they asked it the simple question “How do you reliably make money on the stock market.” Little lights flashed and the room heated up as massive quantities of electricity were consumed, and after 14 hours of intense computing the AI replied “Buy low, sell high.”

    Take advantage of everyone you can, use them without mercy, lie, cheat, steal and don’t look back. Helps if you are the CEO of a company or bank.
