when you learn just how easy $ is to get (once you have starting capital), most quickly lose respect for how hard getting that initial amount is

even moreso for the people born into wealth, who have never truly had to fight for anything in their lives

there's this massive international casino called the stock market, where all the richest degenerates love to throw their $ around trying to make their line go up faster than someone elses. most have zero plans to ever spend any of that $ in the real world unless forced to.

when you learn the rules to that casino it's effectively infinite $ (to a point, there are scaling/effort-reward issues past like... 500k or so)
