Guess it depends on your definition of rich.. $1mil is rich to some.
$4mil is rich to some.
$4bil is rich to others.

get an economics or finance degree. work in banking or investment banking. use your spare time to network, not hunt, fish, or bullschidt on 24hr campfire. would put you way ahead of most of us here.....
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

Gus, they say the Good Lord must love poor folks, he sure made a lot of them. If you were big time rich, you'd be too good to hobnob with the likes of us nobody's.

some folks will tell ya they are 'living the dream' but find they are too busy to enjoy it. for some great wealth is a trap, cause it can come through great responsibilty and not provide a carefree easy life. some have inherited billions but not the brains and business sense their father had to make and manage such wealth.
the idea of old money intrigues me.
and you would be nothing much more than a curio to the old money family you had married into. .. i wish i could have inherited wealth.
well like marrying old money , It can come with certain strings attached. I've walked away from wealth that I never thought I would have done (and prior to such) never understood how people could do such a thing...well people can and do change , I never imagined I'd be the completely different person I am today in regards to ones attitude toward money.

I know a happy ex-engineer that has a soon to be happy engineer son. Not sure how rich is defined these days. So what?

Run for political office, and live off the public dole! Unless you are dishonest, you'll never get rich this way. but, if you are (dishonest) prepare for a prison sentence.

Go to trade school and/or engineering school. Get a job and work hard but not addicted to it. Get married to a wonderful wife and lover, have a couple of kids, go to church often.
That would get a guy most of what he needs and wants in life, most anywhere in the world. He will live long and happy for the most part.
