After growing wealthy, people value privacy and health, grow dismissive of ordinary people's remarks, spend money freely, prioritize intelligence and information, and pay for learning to filter low-quality viewpoints. Their time becomes precious; they only seek high-quality upward social connections. They consciously respect natural laws such as the Matthew effect and compound interest. They cut draining relationships and affairs, and cultivate constructive ones. They invest heavily in skills and information and pursue long-term physical and mental wellness, constantly designing sustainable, passive cash-flow systems. They grow increasingly interested in metaphysics. Every wealthy person accumulates assets along unique paths you know hot or cold only when you drink the water yourself. They crave solitude; almost all human interaction feels draining.
