From the 0% of the population that get rich by hard work.
Discipline and consistency. These two factors working together will beat out a high-paying job, an inheritance and luck every time. Only a small percentage of millionaires received an inheritance, while the majority built their wealth through hard work
An opinion piece is not a source. Where did they come by this data? Following the links only takes this far: https://cdn.ramseysolutions.net/media/company/pr/everyday-millionaires-research/national-study-of-millionaire-new.pdf
Which 1) Indicates it was a survey. I'm sure millionaires like to believe, and have other believe, they made it all themselves but that's hardly scientific. They conveniently forget things like daddy paying to get them into a fancy school and giving them a cushy position in a business they own.
and 2) doesn't share the study or methodology in any way. It is impossible to check their work.
So we just have the word of a company that wants your money saying "trust me." They also have a bridge they would like to sell you.
Either you read it and accept how it is or you provide your own source Ive been waiting for since 3 replies. I don't fucking care.
For someone who doesn't fucking care you've sure been posting a lot of nonsense.
And you wonder why I'm not wasting my time finding a source for you. You sure sound like a reasonable person that would actually listen to an opposing view point.
