CONCLUSION
While I was writing this book, folks frequently said things like,
"You shouldn't promote getting really rich.
Not
everyone can do
that. Besides, that's like 'filthy' rich. It's still
filthy.
"
First, it's simply false that
mega-rich
means filthy somehow. If
you've read through
to
this conclusion, you've seen ample evidence
of wealth being good. Believing it's
not
is a perverse social myth
bred from ignorance and inadequate direct experience with the
really rich, who are among the world's most fascinating and benefi-
cent people. I firmly believe if we could make everyone really rich
the world would be a far better place.
And maybe it's true everyone won't be rich, but it isn't clear
that anyone can't be rich. You can. It's just up to you. There's no
reason many more people can't reasonably try for a few or even
many
millions-without
harming anyone. Problem is, the naysay-
ers have less faith in you than I have.
They
think you shouldn't try,
shouldn't reach.
That
you can't do it. I know you can. I know far
more folks could be wealthy with a little planning and gumption, if
they take the right road (or roads).
Maybe the wealth critics haven't seen as many people get rich
as I have, so they don't know how possible and beneficent it is.
Hard?
Yes.
Long hours? Skill? Toughness?
Yes,
yes, and yes! But
impossible? No! I give you more credit than they do.
Forget the most famous rich! All 25,000 or so of my
