Reality is that nobody will give you a shortcut, you will have to work hard unless you come from a rich family. There are many people I have seen that live a rich life, all because their family was rich, and gave all their money to them, some are old enough that they inherited because unfortunately parents passed away, but they didn't have to work a single day for someone else. They still do "work" in the sense that they have to keep the company running, but almost all of them hire someone to run the company as a manager, so owners do not really handle day to day, only go to see if anything is wrong at times.
As long as we have that kind of people, we can't say that wealth is all because of hard grind, it could be parents money for some people.
it's something that keeps happening that working hard is a choice that must be made, it's hard for us to get a shortcut to the expected wealth, in reality the shortcut is just an imagination of the mind that is difficult to achieve, and generally inheritance is what helps them a lot in terms of wealth because they just have to pass it on and that's what happens most of the time, making them not work too hard.
