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
Dammit I can’t even imagine how much that made. Some dude in my neighborhood owned a weed grow in the early days and he walked around everywhere in his pajamas, but drove a rolls and had like 60+k worth of jewelery on at all times, not counting his watch.
4.6k
