How to be rich consistently across all time periods and legal systems, from a Jew. Suck it, antisemites. I'm not Jewish but I have a lot of these qualities. It really helps. Being jealous doesn't help. Like Thomas Sowell says, it's culture. Temperament can have an influence on culture too, and I think mine had a big influence on my personal values, the aspects of my family culture that I really absorbed and emphasized and expanded on. It made me able to accumulate a tremendous wealth of education, something my parents highly valued, and begin to crawl out of relative poverty by investing, something my parents didn't understand at all. I'm extremely grateful. Anyone wanting to have the contentment that I have, it won't come from violent or contradictory ideologies. It will come from curiosity and a growth mindset.
