Making money is a talent fundamentally, and wealth is the result of 4 things: talent, experience, education and luck. Anybody can become wealthy if they have 2 of the 4, but if you want to be a billionnaire you have to have all 4 put together. After all, it's easier to lose money than keep it.
People think that people who inherit billions from their parents are automatically dumb elitists living off their parents; that couldn't be farther from the truth. Most inherited billionaires keep their money because they also got their parent's genes and education, which is usually more than enough to at least keep the family fortune. The people that don't have a habit of combusting pretty quickly at casinos and car warhouses - just look at people who win the lottery and go homeless when they waste all their money
Finally, having cold hard cash is a lot different to having assets, even liquid assets. Sure, Jeff Bezos has """200billion""", but what would happen if he tried to spend 10 billion of that in one go?

Getting rich is something that will happen to you if you work hard and with passion, if you actually provide value. Athletes get medals because they love sports, they love pushing themselves to the edge, medals are only a result of that, not a goal.

People who have the goal of becoming rich are ALWAYS extremely shallow and vapid, uninteresting and profoundly hylic, and 99.9999 of them will never succeed because they are retarded

This.
The welathiest people I know, myself included, care very little about money as such. It's a means to a higher end--it's the singular, radical pursuit of that higher goals that ends up generating a lot of money. It's more an existential principle than anything else.

It's like the morons on here that want recommendations for literature on how to build a cult following or a mass movement or something. They do not see that at the bottom of anything real is something genuine, something other than the power in question. It's like trying to drill to the center of the earth with your bit pointed toward the moon.

It depends on what you borrow money for. If you borrow money from a street lender for crack then yeah, you'll get your knees kicked in. If you borrow from a white-collar lender for something like education then it's much tamer. People don't realize but there are people out there, wealthy, of dubious legal standing who will happily lend someone money to go to university if they can use that expertise to their own advantage. Lots of industrial tycoons pay for kids to go and get degrees in biology and other sciences so they can use them when they graduate. My patron has a vested interest in what universities teach in regards to history and thinks I'm going to become a professor of history.

It's working out well for me so far. I know it's not liquid, and still counts as capital at risk, but it means in total I have about 30k in savings and assets, when I'd only have about half that if I kept everything in my savings account.
Besides, if I have too much in my savings account, it progressively lowers the amount of autismbux I can claim. So by periodically lowering my savings by throwing one or two grand at shares, I ensure I can maximally milk the system that royally fucked me over.
