I have a strong work ethic but I have no desire....
To be a billionaire.
So...I will never be one because I don't have anything in place that could possibly achieve that.
The thing that the average person can't get their head around is why a super rich person wants more....
Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos could have all walked off into the sunset with more cash than they could ever spend....
Which kind of proves it's not about the money. That's just a way of keeping score.
If we look at the middle ground, Maybe only 5-10% of people have a chance to be the 1%...
Not terrible odds, a lot get to the 3-5% of earners so even in failure they succeed.
