Famous shortcuts to wealth. Can this work for you?

Can this work for you?

There are lots of ways to become wealthy. Here are just a few:

Inherit wealth.

I like this one. No work, no sweat, no worries. The problem is that it’s hard to get adopted by rich and sickly parents. There aren’t many of these people around. While this method works, it only works for a few. If you were one of the lucky few, well, you wouldn’t be reading this right now. You’d be cruising the Caribbean.

Marry someone who is already incredibly rich.

If you’re not married now, hey, there is still time for you to find a wealthy spouse. But that’s not the subject of this post as again, this is a way that few can do.

Hit it big in the stock market.

Your shares double and triple in price. However, there is a problem. You have to already be rich to buy lots of stock. Yes, there’s always a catch.

Win lottery.

Math experts already know the truth:
    The lottery is a voluntary tax on people who are really bad at math.

You are about 100 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to win the lottery. to put that into perspective, the odds are that you’d be struck by lightning 100 times before winning the lottery. And after being zapped by lightning 100 times, do you really think you’d feel like going out and having a good time spending your lottery winnings?

Lottery is enterntainment - a reason to watch television to check if your number won a dollar or two. Play the lottery for fun. Don’t use it for your primary investment vehicle.

Write a hit song. Or sing a hit song.

I can’t sing. In fact, I can barely hum. if you are one of those rare individuals with superstar musical talent - go for it! Use that talent. make a million or two and enjoy. However, singing is not for everyone. So if you’re like me and can’t holds a tune, relax.  There are plenty of other ways to financial independence.

How about writing that great romance novel?

Well, that’s a way to financial wealth, but a very rare way.  Very few people are able to take this path.

Well, if these well-known ways to wealth won’t work for most of us, then how do average people become wealthy?
