Long shot

Long shot perhaps but

Are there any wealthy women on here that would be open to discussing how you obtained your wealth and possibly give me some advice?

Im sure everyone wants to be rich but i have a sort of fixation with wealthy people, i am truly fascinated by them and the kind of life i lead i am so far removed from meeting people of wealth.

Nothing ventured....

"Rich people aquire assets. Poor people acquire liabilities."

To generate wealth the theory is essentially very simple
Reduce your liabilities (things that cost you money)
Increase your assets (things that make you money)

I'm not rich but have female acquaintances that are. Without fail they are very well educated and mostly from comfortable backgrounds. They made good career choices: surgeons, Tax partner, law partners, lots of GP's, a property developer, Finance directors (accountants and auditors).

However, there are also a few that didn't have high flying careers but married wealthy, high achieving partners.

How are you defining 'wealthy' OP?

I know quite a few wealthy women, without exception their family or their husbands family were wealthy too. I do t think I know any who have made it from very humble beginnings

Education is more important in countries where education is not free & females marry or work at a much earlier age
