There is clearly more than one way to ‘get rich’. I never had time or inclination to either be a smart trader or even run my own business. I thought about whether I’d invest in housing and deal with rentals, or invest in land and market (via mutual funds) while I worked my middle class career. For me, the latter seemed less stressful even if it was not the way to quick cash out.
If you now indeed have a net worth of seven digits, then you must have been doing something right! Congratulations!
