2. But everyone is not rich.
3. Therefore there is no such idea.
> Assuming: rich == happy
But rich people as a class aren't happy. If they were predisposed to happiness, they wouldn't have bothered to become rich. Being rich is a consolation prize for people who aren't naturally happy.
What I meant was, in your life there must be things you do or a habit you have developed over time that contributes to your monetary success in life
> But rich people as a class aren't happy
I don't understand why you think so. My assumption that rich == happy (returns True) was to not fret over the thought (on this thread) that being rich doesn't make you happy.
Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks :)
Okay, that's not a rich recipe, that's an avoid-financial-mistakes recipe. It's explained in detail here:

Again, it's not a recipe to make you rich, your original inquiry, it's just a way to avoid mistakes.

But that's not an opinion, it's not just what I think. It's a fact. More here:
