Get Rich Quick

While there are examples of people who get rich quick, the vast majority of people never will. If anyone offers you an opportunity to get rich quick, run as fast as you can. The only proven way to become wealthy is to do something you love and work hard over time. Perhaps admitting greed and laziness is the first step toward not falling for get rich quick schemes.

This in no way excuses the predatory practices of hucksters who make money off vulnerable people. What kind of person preys on the poor and desperate? That should tell you something about the caliber of people promoting get rich quick schemes.
