Spoken like someone with a limited consumerist mindset.

Being rich means the freedom to choose how to spend your time. You dont have to ask your boss's permission to take a day off. You can pursue more projects that interest you. Wealth is independence and power.

How to become rich: be charming, sociable, and make sure work doesn't go unnoticed. Also befriend the right people.

If you can't do this then the other path is being smart but also having inhuman work ethic and vision.

seriously though I'm sure fat people have tonnes of insanely creative ways to obtain fried chicken, consume fried chicken, deal with the grease, and even to deal with copious amounts of shit they produce. Most people don't consider them to be very "intelligent", but in their own special way they actually are.

We all live in a complex system were you can't actually become rich with analysing and adapting your language to be a leader. You can make progress of course, but you have many limitations depending on the situation you find yourself in:
>not enough money to make a succesful business
>not enough connections for many different reasons (being shy; actually treating people as people and not as tools to multiplicate money; etc)
>being in the wrong place (live in the city vs live in the rural)
>etc

And then there's the reminder that out there are many people as smart as you but without these disadvantages that may or not be faster in developing an idea because you are just poorer in general. It happens the same way with education, where a rural kid competing with a Philips Exeter for a place in a big uni was destined to lose, and it keeps prolonging to the future as these disadvantages continue to accumulate regarding to the privileged kid.

So when it comes to business you generally are playing an unfair-butnotsounfair game, as no one can decide how the market has to act. That's way many just go for high income salaries in their passions, which don't let you have THAT much free time >>10266014 is talking about. It's a long run project where you are expected to run anything just when you are in your mid-thirties (if you are lucky is sometimes less) and have the money, or go even deeper and ensure best education and best opportunities to your children so that they can play the game without disadvantages.

And even with everything I've said, anything can just appear and fuck any plan you have, as it happened to my parents which were practically as I described: high income at almost 40 years old and giving me many opportunities. Then the biggest economic crisis happened and I had to move to another country and start the same way my parents started.

It's just how life is, and in the big scheme of things you just stop caring about money.

The barrier in terms of capital to just make a good business is high these days. If you're the smart guy well you just get investors right, ok so you get investors, they now have the idea and the means, why do they need you? Your part in it all will be small along with your profits.

Being smart doesn't necessarily mean you can get out around all the Masonic social engineering. It's so much more who you know, than what you know. If the boys/society ostracize/s you, or won't help you, and or won't include you and let you have a seat at the table, smarts can't necessarily compensate.

It's actually a pretty legit question. Most worthwhile things take a lot of effort, and those that don't tend to get old fast and also make you lazy and atrophied. As a long term NEET I've found that without an actual job to compare them to, leisure activities start to feel a lot like work. But there's nothing else to do. It's an existential kind of feel.
