The idea that anyone can be rich is wrong for the reasons everyone else has already pointed out, but also because it's a lot of work even if you have the education and skillset and other prerequisites, and it's very likely at some point on the way to being fantastically wealthy, you'll decide to be comfortable and happy rather than continuing to push yourself to get that extra bit of money.

Also, as a former software developer who might have possibly had a shot at a job with a top-tier company, you're missing one very important thing if this is the key to success: lots of people don't want to do that poo poo. I don't actually want to do that poo poo, that's why I didn't aim for it when I had the opportunity, and that's why I've gotten further away from it now. I may have been richer had I done that, but I don't honestly think I'd be happier. I'd have a bunch of money and a job I hate; I'll take my current status of "have enough money, and a job I like" instead.

Pochoclo posted:If you were able to make a cool thousand dollars every single day and somehow ignore inflation, you would need to have been saving up since the year 800 BC to reach a billion dollars now. Yeah, poo poo like that really drives home how ridiculous ultra-wealth can get. Consider someone with a million dollars net worth; you'd probably consider them rich, right? And if you made the same amount of money as everything they have put together, every single year after tax and living expenses, you'd still need a millennium to reach a billion dollars.
