    I don’t know what “wealthy” means in my case.

    First, you have to have a passion for the job. There will be up and down times and persistence is important.

    Second, almost every wealthy person has their own business. A close second is investing in the stock market.

    Third, live below your means. Almost everyone earns a $100 and spends $101. Very few people who became wealthy spent more than they earned.
