Cheap people never amount to much... because becoming wealthy ALWAYS requires taking a SiGNIFICANT amount of RISK. Cheap people always do some variation on burying money in the ground... and think they are really smart.
And the ONLY compulsory trait is HARD WORK.
And the whole concept of "financial freedom"...
Is a fantasy that young deadbeats indulge in...
Rich people acquire a different set of problems.
"Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose".
Having a lot to lose can be very stressful...
If you were stressed out poor...
You will just as stressed out rich.
