That's interesting perspective and similar to what we have around here as well. I mean, I've seen both spectrum. My entrepreneurial family would say things like get a stable 9-5 job and the other side would say differently with their cushy pension and all the benefits involved.

no one working a 9-5 job ever became rich

But I also have to agree with that. I mean unless you're really working in top level management, you can't really secure a lot of properties for the future generations if that's a concern. Maybe 1-2 but that's all.

I think a mix of the two is deal, a 9-5 job with income invested in business/rental properties. I learnt this from most of my family that does this kind of life and it seems to be working for them.
