Not at all. I am using the terms rich and poor in a very polar way. I am sure that you recognise that Donald Trump for example does not spend his idle time on facebook etc (although far to long on twitter). The takeaway here is that you trade your time for money that you then use to buy not income producing assets, you will be tied to continue working day in and day out.

I also did not say that the path to being rich was easy or that a lot of people work really hard. I am highlighting that there are a huge amount of people that could be far better off than they currently are if they made better use of their time and ability to acquire assets that will be income producing in the future.

If you follow the above then for sure you will be richer in the future than what you are now.. can everyone follow this, no unfortunately not. But I did not say that was the case either.
