I'm starting to realize that to get rich, one needs to hang out with rich people but I'm not sure where to meet them. The only places I can think of are Silicon Valley and New York (no I don't know where in New York they are).

Why have rich friends?

If they didn't make the money themselves, they at least know people who did can learn from them
They're the ideal customer because they can pay more for the same product

Nope. Thats how you stay rich, not become rich. To become rich, you do favours. Find things you can do easily, and do it for free for people you see everyday. Tell them to refer their friends too. Thats how u expand ur network. Now with a good network, you can use them to help desperate people, then they give you opportunities.

Example: I made a group project, my partner is stupid, didnt reciprocate. I wrote all code and documented with screenshots and all. Other guy from other group noticed i did the work, asked if i could make a projecr for him too. It was easy for me, made one for him with documentation. Later i mentioned that i needed a CA report, he helped me do it for very cheap. Boom 30% money saved.

Exact opposite of joker quote, if ur good at something, do i for free for many different people. Dont just favour one guy, as he may turn out to not be that reciprocal. Both examples in the same story.
