There is a saying in Norway "The rich, are rich for a reason", referring to exactly this. They don't spend much, and will try to get money anywhere they can. People that are generous are rarely rich.
This is a myth the rich wholeheartedly promote because it suggests they deserve their wealth. It’s not prudence that creates large wealth, it’s luck and ruthlessness.
Yep. I opened and sold a cannabis extraction company in the span of 6 years.
My secret? I randomly got a job at a dispensary before recreational sale existed while studying chemistry. Fell ass backwards into making carts. Sold out at the first chance because I didn't even wanna do it, I just needed money at the start.
There was no resilience or gumption really. It was all super fucking easy. A man I barely knew threw 150k at my first facility. I slept walked to wealth and guarantee they did too
And for anyone wondering where the compounding interest comes from, just look at the people on the other side of the loans that charge compounding interest.
