For sure, there’s myriad factors. And the Bay Area has its own unique history. My main idea is that studying economic history has provided a rich layer of new understanding about the lives of my family.
- newsoul2019 8y agoAs someone who is not from the Bay Area, lives currently in the Bay Area, is not wealthy, and from a family that is not wealthy: I spend a lot of time ( too much time ) trying to figure out how everyone around me is wealthy. There are a lot of paths to wealth. The most common elements are previous family wealth, hard work, frugality, but also really good long-term decision making ( keep the first house you buy forever ) and skills that can't be taught (sheer will and ambition).
