hmmm see what I would consider rich would be a stable relationship, a fun job and good friends.
Although for lots of dosh I would say specialize in something, start early so that by the time your an adult-adult, n I don't just mean 18+, you've become really experienced in it.
For example I keep pestering my little sister to start a hobby or something while shes still in school so that by the time shes left school she has something shes spent years on and has become awesome at.
I see school as bonus years in a prelude to being an adult because you've got no bills to pay, free accommodation, food, clothes. So if instead of mindlessly wasting those years dossing about getting stoned, you spend thing leveling up aswell so that by the time your leaving school you've got so much "x.p." in something else that everyone else lacks.
Picture 5years from now, what do you want to be awesome at? what ever it is start practicing it now and even tho your shit, you'l be awesome in 5 years time.
Hmmm although that's not a secured way of getting rich, you'l feel rich for being able to say your awesome at something.
Or get a career that involves computers, did you know the Games Industry is Epicly bigger than the film industry... Why be a rich actor when you could be a rich geek?
