"We must work effective. But effective for whom?"
Who cares I guess is the real answer and why no one has even commented on this. You are as rich as you feel. Rich is NYC is A LOT different than rich in China or even Kansas. The beautiful part about the US is basically anyone has a chance. Yes, it's WAY more difficult for some than others, but it can be done by just about anyone. A lot is luck of course, but those who work harder seem to be a lot more lucky than those who don't. Some is smarts of course.
