Ultimately there's only two ways to get money, your own efforts or from others.
You'll rarely ever see someone working alone that makes enough money to be considered wealthy. Don't get me wrong being an electrician that works for themselves will pay well and give you a decent enough quality of life but if you wanna have wealth you need to essentially enslave others by profiting from their work.
>Here's about where some investmentfag says nuh uh because they earn interest, get dividends on shares or profit from selling crypto
The extra money you get from those still comes from other people. The 5% your bank will give you for a term deposit account comes from the bank playing the stock market which robs pension funds and grandmothers by making them losers. The same is true of crypto and share dividends are just scraping the profits off the top of a company after they already did so to their workers.
The only real alternative is getting into primary production like farming but that is putting the cost of your wealth on to the land so no matter how you play it there will always be a loser for you to win.
What you should do is earn an honest living by working and reject materialism. You don't need holidays, fancy cars or toys, a $30k wedding ring for the mrs, etc. Just live a humble life with a job you don't hate to support having a house that meets your actual needs, a few kids, grow some veggies and have a few chooks out in the backyard, etc. and you'll have a good and honest life you can reflect back on while on your deathbed with pride.
