Speaking strictly as a guy who’s been far from wealthy most of his life: Williams is right. If I’d sincerely wanted to be wealthy, I’d have got there.
I agree. My family could be much more wealthy if we made that our priority. We know what builds wealth; we just make other choices because we have other values.
Agreed. It is all how you define it as well. “Wealthy” in the center of Maine, Arkansas or Nebraska is mediocre at best on Long Island, Santa Barbara County or Metro-Boston. If I lived outside of Bangor or Houlton I’d be very well off.
