It seems taboo to discuss money and becoming wealthy. You might be able to identify because I would often ask my parents why they advised me to “don’t talk about money.”
You don’t want any attention because it’s not socially acceptable, people grow envious, and they could want you to fail. These are merely the standard responses.
Since it’s difficult to avoid comparison, I understand how discussing your wealth or how much money you have might make people feel anxious, particularly if they’re struggling. However, don’t let your current situation define who you are as a person; that’s where problems start.
Rather, use conversation and idea exchange as inspiration and motivation. Sometimes all it takes to get moving and act right away is a tiny spark. You can get a blueprint of the expectations you should set for yourself to improve your chances of success by asking a successful person what disciplines they had to develop to reach their level of riches.
Develop Your Own Personal Philosophy
It looked mystical and magical, hocus pocus stuff, and I never understood why people said things like money “is all mental” or it’s an “inner game.” However, when I discovered that both people who claim they can and those who claim they can’t are typically correct, it made a big difference.
Where you are can be attributed to your life’s circumstances and surroundings (or these can be justifications to shield your ego), but your own philosophy must also play a role.

In conclusion
Recognize that certain tasks require time. It can take a lifetime to build money and a financial moat around you and your family. The majority of individuals fail at these get-rich-quick scams because they play on our demand for instant cash. However, some tasks require perseverance and self-control, and cutting corners will backfire. It’s simply not how things work; you can get nine ladies pregnant and have a baby in a month.
