Lol, you asked this question exactly 84 days ago [1] and I responded then. I wonder if you've experimented with anything since that initial question was asked because I'm also interested in getting rich. Maybe we could exchange ideas via email.

I'm going to repost my answer in that previous thread, but with an addition.

-

There is no secret.

You either need to have a very valuable skill that people are willing to pay you for, or you start a business selling a product or offering a service (basically having a valuable skill) that people are willing to pay you for - and you scale with time.

Or, you find a very rich person (there are lots of wealthy people out there in the world) who takes a liking to you and gives you life-changing money—either as an investment in a business you’re interested in pursuing but lack the funds for, or as a grant.

Or, you get lucky like if you had bought Bitcoin back when it was worth a negligible amount and then you check back years later (2026) to find out that forgotten investment is now worth a lot of money. But that's likely not going to be the case for you.

I also wish there was a secret I could learn about to make me rich, because I'm not rich, and I really wish to be.

P.S. Don't do anything illegal in your quest to make money. It's more fulfilling to win a game without cheating.

Read Richest Man in Babylon. It’s an easy read in story format. It’s not hard to understand. Money is not complicated. People make it complicated.

Forgot to mention - this book is now public domain, so it’s free and you can find a copy online pretty easily. Or, easy to buy as a book for about $5.
