So-Called Secrets To Obtaining Wealth

Habits of the rich, either of especially wealthy individuals or of a class of people financially secure enough to live very differently from ordinary people, might receive attention as so-called secrets to amassing great wealth.  Making their bed in the morning, waking up early, and more might be assumed to be the special reason why someone became wealthy, as if the easiest and only sure way to be rich is not to be born into wealth.  A rich person is not necessarily irrational or evil, as is also the case with the poor, but making their bed is of no relevance to accumulating money.  Some of these things, like waking up early, are not even viable options for some of the poor because they are too exhausted from worry or working multiple jobs to have the luxury of depriving themselves of additional sleep.

Ironically, another supposed "secret" of the rich might be that they sleep for seven to eight hours a night, or some other specific amount.  Not only can this conflict with the idea of waking up early, but it too is irrelevant on all levels but the most tangential.  You might have a better chance of making the most of work opportunities with plenty of sleep, but sleeping any particular amount will not secure someone a high-paying job or even one with livable compensation.  Money will not appear in one's savings and broader material wealth does not flood into one's life simply because of sleep!  In a very specific way, sleep can help with wealth acquisition and management: no being that needs sleep can work well or plan their future if they are too exhausted to stay awake.

Other things like meditating for five minutes a day or taking cold showers absolutely have no direct or even strong connection with increasing wealth.  Meditating daily or, again, sleeping for eight hours a night will not grant someone a deserved raise on the basis of merit, seniority, or increases in the cost of living if their employer is cruel or greedy.  These habits will not erase debts or suddenly put better employment opportunities in one's life in a job drought or exploitative industry.  If a rich person has these habits, they are a happenstance personal routine.  Habits do not make a person wealthier besides the habit of using money one already has to generate more income.  Luck or exploitation are the fastest ways to get to the point where one could engage in this particular habit.

Yes, for certain individuals, some of these activities might help them feel more emotionally stable, which does not hurt their attempts to build wealth or generally enjoy and appreciate what they already have, but no one will actually become rich by just doing these things.  Someone could wake up early or meditate and yet not have a job; someone could sleep for some arbitrary amount of time each night--which, again, might contradict waking up early, which would entail sleeping less, depending on when a person falls asleep--will not give someone better job prospects or remove any exploitation from their career.

Any rich person who believes otherwise is just making assumptions and believing in things that are demonstrably false (by logical necessity) in order to make themselves feel more responsible for their wealth than they really are.  If a poor or economically middle-positioned person believes this, they are by necessity only making assumptions, and false ones, they are just trying to hold to irrationalistic hope that an easier life is within their clutches.  There is nothing but assumptions and contradictions to stand on for them.  Emotionalistic or otherwise irrationalistic hope is by nature deviation from aligning with necessary truths, which govern finance, practicality, and class structure no less than they do everything else.
