And I have learned that anyone -anyone- can become wealthy in America, or at least what used to be America. I’m not wealthy, but I know I am blessed beyond measure and probably live better than 90% of the people on the planet.
Over the years I have known many very wealthy people who grew up during the Great Depression and who became wealthy by working blue collar jobs for 40 or 50 years and simply not spending any of it.
Their children generally had no problem quickly spending it all after they died.
