Did it ever occur to you that we are slaves in suits?

@Spoiledbrat There is truth to that, but I'm not sure it's true. Sometimes we make choices that don't make us rich in money, and we don't make choices that WOULD make us rich in money. For instance, it was not worth it to me personally to continue a career that had a promising beginning when I had my daughter. I might not be rich now, as the world figures rich, but I would probably be a lot richer. It wasn't a choice I wanted to make.

Sometimes - even a lot of the time - people work twenty hour days and go without while they're building their wealth. It's worth it to them.

@BubbleBot You are young. If rich is what you want, you have time to make that happen. There are other ingredients to rich - sometimes ruthlessness is required. Original ideas - or at least a better take on someone else's idea, hard work, long hours, pay now and play later. Make getting rich your only goal - not relationships, not friends, not sports. Are you ready to do that? IS rich what you want bad enough to pay the price?

@BubbleBot I didn't think so. Motivation is something I forgot to mention. I'm not rich, quite the contrary in fact. Never been rich, never will be rich. I'm not motivated in that direction either.

@BubbleBot The way it works - you make a choice you can live with and then you learn to live with it. If you don't you can pretty much count on being unhappy AND not rich.

@BubbleBot It is true. I agree. That's part of learning to live with your choices - finding ways to contribute that make you feel valuable. Feel not invisible. Feel not trapped.
