Guide 11/13/22 6:06:07 AM #8:	Other: Dumb luck (being born into a rich family, winning the lotto, happening across a cheap antique that is actually worth a lot) Other other: A bit of cleverness at the right time and place (see: million pixel ad page, one red paperclip) Generally, you always need some sort of luck for hard work to pay off, even by virtue of being born with the potential for a financially enabling intelligence/athleticism/[talent], or not being born to a poor family during a famine. But hard work applied to the right scenario is the most likely way of making significant financial gains, if not necessarily becoming rich. --- evening main 2.4356848e+91 https://youtu.be/Acn5IptKWQU <cite>Guide posted [p:969393686] in ''No one e...

AzNDarkSamurai 11/13/22 6:41:59 AM #11:	Its true in some ways but not all. Getting rich also has a lot to do with luck and being at the right place at the right time. It also has plenty to do with making the right connections to people who can get you there.
