Marry a rich girl, my friend did. He didn’t know she was a millionaire until after they got hitched. He put her off for a couple years, finally gave in. She told him when they got back from the honeymoon. He hunts, fishes, golfs, travels! She has trust fund that will never run out, gets 40,000 a month. They don’t spend all of it each month, just enjoy life.

The easiest path to wealth is to inherit it or marry it.
The best path to wealth is to earn it. Earn it in whatever path you choose.

Now it should be pointed out that the best wealth of all is not money.
