The issue is that the expression becoming rich is wrong when it comes to building your wealth over the long term, you do not become rich you plan to become rich, most people do not have a plan, they just expect that someday the good life is going to happen to them and they will obtain the benefits of it, however the ones that were able to get so much money planned for it, they saw what they needed to reach their goal and they did it, and if that meant working several jobs or getting new skills they did it, while many other people will simply think of this as too much work and will keep waiting for their luck to change.
