How do I get rich

I want a newer porsche. Those cost more than I can afford. Do I pretty much need to own my own business to get rich? What did you guys do to get rich?
I have very little capital. Plus I'm married with kids and my wife doesn't work.
I'm a numbers guy and credentialed. I do ok, but not for socal.
Thinking of starting my own company. I know how well those annuity wholesalers and reps do, I want a slice of that action. this needs to be something I can do outside of my regular job, at least while I get started.

Any of you rich dudes out there, please share your success stories and advice.

You need to produce more economic activity than you consume by a wide-enough gap to cover what you want to buy.

Just write a great novel that gets made into a hit movie or write and sing a top hit song.

Invent a neat gadget that everyone needs or wants.

Get real good at golf.

I'm already married. No sugar mama for me.
Although her money would be nice, what if shes really ugly? I wouldn't even be able to get it up to satisfy her and earn my keep

Buy a large warehouse or old church etc. in downtown Detroit.

Fix it up for apts., condos or even an urban hotel.

You will make a LOT of $$

I'm planning on using my young looks to find me a good lookin sugar momma...


And no, it hasn't worked yet...


Plan B is to be a ruthless business man and make my millions on the backs of my employees...

You'd think they would be smart enough to not let that happen...

For one thing you will have to stop thinking about Porsches.. if the goal is to be rich, you gotta focus about thinking about making money... not spending much money, not loosing money, making sure your money turns in to more money.. Basically you gotta be on the case 24/7 and work hard for a bunch of years..

Then at some point in the future, you might end up being rich enough to be able to pay for a Porsche out of pocket.. If you can't do it out of pocket, you are basically impatient and not rich enough to be called "rich".
