Can workers and politicians become very rich without stealing and being corrupt

[DYOR+BTC]

Honestly, working for someone can't make one wealthy, especially in my country, I know how many times I have worked for people and how they treat their employees,infact seeing how they operate I can categorically tell you ,it's hard to be rich while working for someone or depending on salary.

I haven't seen any successful politician that hasn't stolen public funds , so its very difficult not to see corrupted leaders,many failed politicians are the once who refuse to steal , sometime I ask myself why the bad once are always more successful than the good once ,but it certainly clear ,being under somebody can't get you anywhere ,only few are just lucky to be successful.

That clause depending on salary is a very good observation to identify when deliberating on matters as serious as this, of a truth many spent years working as an employee and ended up with nothing while some worked and came home with something tangible which was only possible because the salary received then was good enough to help pull the person to a stable position.
Stability can easily be achieved if one is self employed but that doesn't mean employees can't attain such level in life if good salaries are paid for there services.

I know that if you really want to become very rich you should think like the very rich people who are business minded and understands how money works for the rich, not like somebody who is comfortable to collect a paycheck every week or month yet wants to be very rich,  that is why they look for means to steal and enrich themselves. Instead of being a genius at scheming for ways to cheat I believe that any employees that wants to become rich should think outside the box, learn relevant skills, think big, meet the right contacts and seize opportunities to have breakthroughs in business and investments circles. Many rich people comes from humble backgrounds before they had their breakthroughs, it should be a motivation that becoming rich is possible.

Those who want to become entrepreneurs should be willing to pay the price. Starting and running a successful business is risky and requires sacrifice and hard work. The insinuation that one cannot be rich as an employee is not the whole truth. There are people who are earning good salaries and are living a good life through proper planning and management.

My spouse has this type of problem, and I keep telling them not to look at it, but I am never heard. Watching YouTube videos and Instagram Reels of people makes you think that those people are rich. When in reality they are either sponsored because they have followers, and that's why people sponsor them, or you end up with these people being not rich but doing this maybe 3 weeks of the whole year and then grinding like hell for the rest. Nobody sees that part; they just see the nice part.

You can literally spend 3 weeks of your year going around the world doing great things; that's 21 days, 3 days of good life for 7 times a year, and the other 344 years of your life spent working super hard to afford that. They only show us the great part, and because of that, some people are fooled and see those people living that kind of life all the time, like every day is like that, which is a lie. Social media is very dangerous to people's psychology if they are not careful.

There is a reason why a lot of people that get employed in a firm end up stealing it doing something illegal to get money from where they work, It is because their salary isn't enough for them and they think that by being corrupt they can work their way to the top but this stains their self image and integrity because that's not really the right way to go.

Based on the country some of us are from especially those that come from third world countries, when we hear the word politicians we are always quick to assume that everyone of them is corrupt but that's not actually true. There are some politicians that believe in working hard and not in being corrupt to get rich.

As a worker it would be difficult to get rich especially if you receive a low pay, no matter how much you save it still won't make you rich but instead of being corrupt you can actually work to get rich by starting up a business or an investment.

You know we are individual differences, and the little mistakes most people make is trusting that little amount of money gives them a chance to fake things around. Table can turn at any moment and life would become hard, and then the billings will still be coming, while what you are earning doesn't ryhm with what you truly needs, then making an attempt of Carty something that is not belong to u specifically can leads one into a serious issues from one place to another. And that funds will definitely last in a short time and remain stranded while you have destroy your own good reputation. Although we still have few people that enter into the journey with good intentions and serve the people successfuly without having aims on personal interest.

However, if truly your present job cannot sustain you far due to your choosing lifestyle, you can switch to another one and explore, even investment would serve as another source of income. You cannot only building wealth easily with corruption. Even some skills can pay well and fine, building a strong long-term business or investment can make you rich also, not until you steal or corrupt.

I still hope and believe workers can get rich in legit and honest ways.

On the other hand, someone can't climb too much on the politics' pyramid without being corrupt. Politicians become influential, get status and make alliances through corruption, that is: lies, manipulation, prejudicing others, dishonor, lack of principles and morale.

If a politician doesn't adopt those aspects for his personal career, the maximum he will reach is a spot of city's councilman for few years. He can make some income in a honest way by that, but it's not enough to get rich, since it's for a very limited time. Then if he has a good character, he will give up on it and will never want to get involved or hear about politics once again in his life.

Many employees and politicians that are public workers knows that employers and the government can only pay you what they figure that you would be comfortable with, they don't make plans for you to become rich. Salaries can hardly make you to be rich and I believe that this is the reason why some workers and politicians steal so much from the positions that they occupy to become very rich.

If they're serving truthfully. In a recent flood control scam in my country, even the employees of districts have became rich and they're losing millions of dollars in a casino just for a day. But I think that's intentional to launder money and the casino is part of the scheme that they have been involved. Corrupt officials have no rest in stealing people's money, they'll create fake proposals or if they make real projects, they'd do it with substandard materials and there's the share that each of guys involved in that project's percentage.

That's the thing alot of people failed to understand, I used to tell my friends who are inquisitive of becoming rich that it is not about saying that I want to be rich did you have the mindset of rich people, did you know how to manage finance? They were short of words because obviously they didn't have any plan for themselves all they  keep on saying is how they will spend their money in luxury if they eventually become rich. So that is it, many people pray of becoming rich but even when their dream of becoming rich comes through, it won't last for a longer time because they can't manage it very well. The job we are doing can't make us rich unless we Invest in something or start a business with the money.

Workers can be rich depending on the type of work but the general workforce is not designed to make workers rich but comfortable. That means it is only the elite jobs that can make people rich and not average jobs. As for politicians, their take home cannot make them live the lifestyle most of them live, which is why you see them stealing to maintain the lifestyle. It is difficult to see politicians that are not corrupt because they have the means of doing that by virtue of their office and privileges. In conclusion, some workers and politicians can be rich without stealing but those are in serious minority.

If you are working, I don’t think you can never be so rich. How much are they even going to pay which is going to make you so rich? Most workers are paid the amount which is going to make you leave decent life, and it depends on where you are working also. what some workers in my country are earning isn’t even enough for them to take care of their family members, how will someone like that be able to save?

If you are working and you are paid a good amount of money, after you take care of necessary things which you are suppose to do, then your money has finished already, or what you going to have left is just going to be little amount of money. That’s why most of them are always looking for possible ways to embezzle the money which is not ment for you.

Like I said before, majority of workers cannot be rich but that does not mean that no worker can be rich. There are some elite jobs whose workers are surely rich. I know a few of those companies that are into tech and some energy marketing, getting into such jobs is a rare privilege and once you are in, then money should not be a problem. I know one that shared dividend of $1 billion and they have less than a thousand staff globally, meanwhile all being their staff qualifies you as a shareholder. So, there are companies that are highly rewarding but they are few.

I've heard many interviews from millionaires and billionaires who categorically tells their interviewers that nobody can become rich working for somebody else.

They are uninformed. And uninformed people make very ignorant statements that are fallacious and incorrect.

Many employees and politicians that are public workers knows that employers and the government can only pay you what they figure that you would be comfortable with, they don't make plans for you to become rich. Salaries can hardly make you to be rich and I believe that this is the reason why some workers and politicians steal so much from the positions that they occupy to become very rich.

errm... salary can actually make one rich. By the way what is your definition of being rich?

... I believe that any employees that wants to become rich should think outside the box, learn relevant skills, think big, meet the right contacts and seize opportunities to have breakthroughs in business and investments circles. Many rich people comes from humble backgrounds before they had their breakthroughs, it should be a motivation that becoming rich is possible.

Again is it down to the definition of what being rich is about.
Everyone can not go into business.
Not every business person is rich just as some employees receiving salaries are rich.

As far as I know, no one has become rich by depending on others. Those who have become rich by depending on others have become rich by stealing. If you want to become rich, you must work under yourself and to work under yourself, you must be an entrepreneur or a good businessman. When you become an entrepreneur or a good businessman, you can become rich with your hard work, your creativity and your strategy. Suppose you are an entrepreneur and you have built a cow or goat farm, if you can nurture your hard work, strategy and creativity, then you can become rich within a few years. So I mean, if you want to become rich, then you must be good at your own work and not depending on others. Until now, many big businessmen who have become very rich have become rich by depending on their business and trade, but they could not become rich by depending on others. I have already said that those who have become rich by depending on others have become rich by stealing from others.

To answer the title, @OP, yes workers and politicians can have the possibility to become very rich, but it would be harder than just getting rich.  The person who wants to get very rich has to plan his cash flow.  He must make sure that the cash inflow is greatly outweighs the cash outflow.

These people must be business-minded and make their time produce money everytime he interacts.  The person must establish a continuous source of income and must make sure that he is spending his money wisely.  With a huge cash inflow and a small cash outflow, the person will eventually become filthy rich.

I think there's no limits getting rich in life. We are all entitled to get rich but it also comes with huge efforts and sacrifices, and not everyone is prepared to take that risk. And frankly speaking, if you solely rely in your salary, no matter how high it is, it won't make you get rich in life, but it can make your life somehow comfortable and more convenient to live.

Now, if workers and politicians aim to get rich in life, then they should start thinking like those wealthy individuals who get rid of spending more but focus more on how their money works in the long run. They should shift their focus on how to start with smart investments, focus on long term planning and goals, and continuous learning without setting limits.

People do not become rich overnight, but its a continuous practice of hard work, patience and resilience that motivates them to never stop working even when their goals are already within reach.

Sometimes they do pay workers based on what the company generate, monthly so that is most of the benchmark of how companies pay salaries to their workers.. but this in government the normally pay workers or their employees based on the qualification of the person so government is the one that I have a scale of every individual the employee with documentation

I know that if you really want to become very rich you should think like the very rich people who are business minded and understands how money works for the rich,

I want you to know that be around the rich people cannot make you to be rich, sometimes what makes some people to be rich is hardworking and being creative and innovative by yourself that is what makes most people to be rich and also be a business minded, you can be around a rich person for years but you will not get rich except that you create your own pathway to be rich.

You are absolutely right mate, one thing is that most people have that mentality that no one can be Rich in the society if you don't soil your hands, and I don't blame them because that is the mentality that was programed in their head by their criminal mentor. When you have a mentor who stole and become rich, he will influence you into believing that you can't succeed if you don steal. That's why you see some employee, emidiately they are employed they try as much as possible to steal from the company because that was the orientation they where programed with. But the ones with good mentorship will not steal but use the available resources to build up as small as he can you succeed. This people learn skills and look for small opportunity to explore and when they get this opportunity they explore and make wealth from it. In conclusion our character is often influenced either negatively or positively.

If they want to become rich, hence they should leave their profession and focus on smart-wise investments. No one gets rich with simply working hard, their compensation are still limited. But if they get out from their comfort zone and start to explore big and potential investments, getting rich will be certain as long as there is consistency to learn until mastery is achieved.

And once they start to profit from their first investment, its time to diversify. Do not just focus on a single flow of income, but go for multiple sources. Because once you have gained multiple sources of income, and the flow of income goes unlimited, that's where getting rich finally achieved. But it should not stop there, the challenge to sustain your wealth becomes more challenging than just aiming to simply get rich.

Even though it very difficult. For an employee to become rich then such employee should think fast, and be smart and work smartly. This is the reason why most workers remain poor and broke because salary is not whstbcan take anyone out of the poverty line.

But as for politician, I will say that it's actually complicated because, from what I have seen from politicians from all over the world . One thing is that they are already rich before coming into politics, because politics is is not for the poor. Intact from what I have seen politics is a business that politicians invest into and gets the benefit of their investment, when they eventfully wins.

So to answer your question, for the normal worker its really difficult for them to break free from their present position, but through careful planing its actually possible for them to become rich. As for the politician they are very complicated sets of people because for the fact that someone is into politics means that such a person has backup financially.

But if they get out from their comfort zone and start to explore big and potential investments, getting rich will be certain as long as there is consistency to learn until mastery is achieved.

Your point is very valid, if you want to become rich you should think beyond working for somebody and think out of the box on how to be an entrepreneur, an investor or have a skill that would make you to become independent and source for contracts by yourself. Even if you are working for somebody you should see it as temporary not where you will end your retirement and when you cannot meet up with your dreams of becoming rich the alternative would be to steal from your employers or join politics to loot government funds.

And once they start to profit from their first investment, its time to diversify. Do not just focus on a single flow of income, but go for multiple sources. Because once you have gained multiple sources of income, and the flow of income goes unlimited, that's where getting rich finally achieved. But it should not stop there, the challenge to sustain your wealth becomes more challenging than just aiming to simply get rich.

This is another thing that can help proactive people to become rich, they should never focus on only one source of income because most successful people don't rely on only one source, if you do and anything happens to that source you can become poor. Another reason is that our responsibilities often increases and if you're relying on your income that is taking care of your present needs it might be difficult to survive in the future. So make money and diversify into assets that have potentials to give you profit in the future.

Every person has the right to decide for themselves how they will proceed. There are some people who are very skilled and they are interested in doing business since they were young, like I can tell you about a friend of mine who always thought of doing business and started several businesses. Then there are some people who gain expertise before starting a business. For example, first he will work in another person's company for some days and when he becomes an expert, he starts his own business. The only way to become rich is through business.

However, a person who cheats another person or a person who steals money from another person may never become a long-term rich person. Because they may never be able to do anything with the amount of money they steal and they may keep that amount in their bank. And with the amount of money they steal, we may not be able to include them in the middle of the rich. Very few people are able to steal huge amounts of money.

 become wealthy is certainly no easy feat; achieving it requires a long, arduous journey—especially for salaried employees. However, it is entirely possible to make it happen by acquiring new skills that generate income without abandoning one's primary job. This requires a broad mindset and the right approach—such as setting aside money for savings each month to build sufficient capital. While it may seem difficult at first, achieving wealth is certainly attainable over time by learning from the experiences of others and building a business from scratch until it succeeds.
