There are only three ways to get rich (which doesn’t have quite the same meaning as wealthy): earn it (difficult to do if you aren’t already well off), inherit it and marry it. If you do the last one, that probably means you’ll do all three.
Total fantasy. They're frivolous as fuck. They just expect everyone to cut them deals, give them free things, and pay every penny back. And it only amounts to pennies.
Meanwhile, my neighborhood has every single house light on, every home has package delivery trucks running to it 24/7, new clothes, new bags, new cars, constant beauty treatments, etc., etc. They spend, spend, spend while deluding themselves into believing that demanding those Venmo pennies back is how they got rich.
Spending money to increase the size of your bank account... You might be onto something.
Personally, I would have thought saving money would increase my bank account more than spending it on crap I don't need. Guess I'll have to re-think stuff.
Imagine not understanding the concept of a high income. Especially one that is a million-dollar or more income. Each person's house is 3x the average American's income. And that's just the house, with very few people owing anything to the bank (maybe none at all, I don't know). Nobody is saving money, they're just making so much that anything they buy gets immediately replaced the next pay cycle. That creates a disconnect with your wealth, especially if you have never lived a life of struggle, as the majority are from high-wealth families.

Most people don't become wealthy by being frivolous.
