I think the first question you need to ask yourself is, why? Why do you want to be rich? What is it you truly want? Is it just financial independence from a toxic situation? Well then rich could mean a stable job and a beautiful friend group. Does it mean not having to stress if a medical bill or car maintenance arises? Then that could mean being a smart saver and investor with the funds you have access to. Does it mean not having to be stuck in one place to earn your living? Then that could mean becoming an entrepreneur with something you can scale outside of your own labor. Do you want to be able to provide for a family of your own one day? Like you need to identify why the heck you even want these little green slips of paper that society has chosen to accredit with monetary value. But above that, you need to understand what you are even here for. I’m a Christian, and I firmly believe that all creation is here to glorify God, our Maker, so whether you’re rich or poor, whatever resources (not just money, but time and health and intellect also) that you do have you should look to cultivate and grow to serve Him and serve His creation (aka humanity), from a place of love. That is your purpose and when you come to a place of faith in Christ as Lord and Savior and have your soul reconciled to God, having had your sins forgiven and paid for by the person and work of Jesus Christ the Messiah on the Cross, then you will have a peace and contentment and hope and joy that will not be dependent upon your external circumstances my friend. What good is all the riches in the world if you end up being a toxic person to someone else? What good is all the riches in the world if you had one week to live? Riches without a purpose, the right purpose (to be put to use in service of others and used for godly enjoyment of the many gifts God gave us to experience in this life as a common grace, from food, to family, to laughter, to sports, etc.).
