if you have a high IQ midwits will notice and feel threatened. And, as a result of feeling threatened, they become unconsciously oriented toward fucking you up in whatever way possible.
Also, it's a common cognitive bias to assume that everyone is just about as smart or dumb as yourself. Which means that a lot of smart people don't perceive their advantages. And a lot of dumb people go around mocking everything because it looks stupid to them.

I own $2M in the bank and ~$500K in several assets and investments. I don't think I'm smart. In fact I don't think being intelligent could have gotten me as far as I have. It's literally all been about opportunism and charisma. I flipped a house, used that money to cash in on a few "failing" stocks that quickly stabilized years back, and then I rode BTC until 10K. After that, I got in with a group of rich boomers who pay me to keep a small security detail running around their private parties, and all I did was give my buddies jobs because I can trust them more than some random niggers and Cletus, both of which will try to rob the place. It doesn't take a genius to get rich, it just takes grabbing at opportunity, talking to people, and a little bit of luck. I'm sure any /biz/ cuck can make it if they shoot for the stars instead of listening to the uneducated clowns of this board touting their knowledge of "trends".

I get a very decent risk-free return on the money I spent on education (not from US, so it wasn't really that much). I can't think of any asset that would give me the same risk-adjusted return on that horizon.
I didn't inherit anywhere near enough to become a millionaire. And of course I didn't inherit enough to make a million of interest.
Starting up something that would make me a millionaire is basically a six sigma event. And yes, I never claimed I'm smart enough for something like that.

I'm fine.

this sounds inspiring... I always think too much about stuff and then few months later I find out someone did what I just though about... I just want to iron every detail, solve all WHAT IF xyz happens and before I know it, someone rides the hype wave while I'm still finishing the preparations...

I’m not rich but I find ways to have rich experiences. It’s been grand without needing to make a grand.
