why aspire to "have way more money than you need"? cause that's what this "how to get rich" bullshit is about.

set your focus on what you love to do, not on acquiring more than you need. that probably won't make you happy anyway.

if you chose to work in IT because you enjoy it, you're already super fucking lucky anyway. you're sought after and money's good (generally speaking).

if you feel like you need more, do the actual work to make it happen. don't listen to generic one-liners by some pretentious investment guru.

You have good points. But I think you'd also probably enjoy Naval's thoughts as well.

There's a great moment in an interview with him where he says that he watched multiple friends get rich and not become happier.

Getting rich is often a result of providing value to other people and so can be a positive for society. You can always give the spare to charity if you want.
