All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
Get educated, paper AND knowledge are everything. Go to a country where your knowledge is needed. Learn their language.
Just a friendly reminder, a room painter in america earns more than a doctor in eastern europe.
Honestly, people dont "get rich" from their wages, its all about taking the money you earn working, and investing as much of as possible into things like mutual funds (growth funds) and aggressive ETFs and being able to stomach the ups and downs. In a lot of these funds, over the course of 10-15 years you double/triple your money, add in compounding interest and constantly adding more money, it adds up pretty fast.
Big difference between people who become rich, and people who "want to be a rich person" is what they spend their money on. A lot of wanna bes piss all their earned money away on shit to make them look rich, while most very wealthy people are driving around in their 5 year old ford focus.
Depends on when and where, here in the U.S all you have to do is something others won't be willing to be shamed and hated for it, take your cloths off if you are a woman, and be willing to do anything else up and to killing, assault or put vast amounts of innocent lives at stake. You also have to lie a lot and not really care about hurting anybody but yourself and sell, sell, sell, even if what you are selling is more than likely a steaming pile of shit.

This is definitely a huge aspect of becoming wealthy. Financial discipline. One of those cheesy youtube videos phrased it like this and I agree:
Poor people spend their money consumables
Middle class spend their money "stuff"
Rich people spend their money on assets
If you are pissing away your paycheck on nights out/holidays and whatnot you are truly hopeless imo. Unfortunately this describes most people I have worked with even if they are in good jobs.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
Step #1 Stop thinking you can become rich, cause the wealthy already have all the monies.
Step #2 Adopt socialism before they automate everyone's jobs.
Step #3 Pray we don't go into a recession before we have UBI.
See, that isn't so hard now is it.
To become rich, you need to acquire sums of money larger than those possessed by people not deemed rich.
#TheMoreYouKnow.
Get a small loan of a million dollars from your dad. Don't pay your contractors. File for bankruptcy.
Having recently sold my share of a company I help create, I will say this is it. At least when you are trying to sell products, or monthly services which my company was in. I ended up selling because my conscious couldn't handle what we were doing to not only customers but the poor suckers that put money into the company as well. My business partners were the experienced businessmen who more or less ran the show. I was in the company for my technical abilities. Lesson learned.
Well cheers to you for following the path that lead you to where you could at least find the exit, but yeah I can understand how you feel. There is doing what you must to survive, and then their is the other thing.
Like telling people things you know aren't truth about a product or service you know has absolutely no ability to accomplish what is promised. I think the notion that if you make or design something that has value it really doesn't need to be sold. Sure you should advertise and what not inform people of what you have and what it does, and could do.
Can't imagine the joy that someone like yourself might have had the first time you built or made something happen to also be rewarded with WOW this really did help someone and became valuable. Sorry that some came along who's only vision was just how much money could be made.
I think I could imagine the bit of irritation that would come with that also getting others involved or others who take credit for something they had nothing to do with. That TEAM effort that came from a handful busting their ass, while a few others just came along for the ride.

Well, to get rich. There's multiple ways, but if you want to be extremely successful. It takes luck and a right sequence.
Some people get rich through budgeting and saving. You can pool some good wealth if you're not so eager to spend. If you are pretty minimalist, you'll see some wealth for your spending leisure. With time, many goods also drop in price. So less to spent, more saved.
Others depend on what they can get their stakes in. Some trades can be particularly wealthy. Owning a business also brings in the dough. But as before, luck is the case here to assure your success. So do take some business classes or look into business education to know the craft.
Or win the lottery.
In Donald Trump's case. He was born into wealth, and he didn't file for bankruptcy, it would be particular branches under him. Donald Trump owned multiple businesses and locations and only a few had to file. Your little jab is pretty poor in excuse.

Likely have good spending habits, get into a career that has respectable wages, work hard, and have some investments and extra ways to earn income.
