> Why people in US think that working a lot makes you rich, when the opposite is true? For most people, wealth is tied to income, and income is tied to the number of hours you work. So it's a direct link in their minds that most hours of work leads to more wealth. The fairly obvious truth is that the quickest way to any reasonable amount of wealth is to both improve your skillset to increase the amount of income you can make per hour, and also to develop sources of income that aren't tied to the number of hours you put in. But both of those require delayed gratification, which people aren't big on.
