I think this not only bothers about money, but can also be applied to all facets of human life.
Shortcuts are great to make you achieve whatever you want sharp sharp, however it doesn't guarantee that you've or you will accumulate all practical knowledge needed. It doesn't Equip you with the right disposition to handle such a "position."
You may feel ready theoretically, after you've "studied" or made research, but then, along the line you'll discover that there's a huge disconnect between theory and practical. If you don't have the right practical disposition to put the theory into practicals, then you'll remain at that theoretical level, not knowing the exact thing to do.
In the same way, that's why you see some miscreants spending money lavishly, because they did not work for it. Especially the Yahoo Yahoo boys, who have confused the society about what it means to be rich. But then, their own case is critical because even after hitting $100k, after 6 months they'll be back to the trenches because they don't have plans and focus.
You've exactly summarized everything. It's why I said money development is an aspect of self development that's very crucial. I have taken shortcuts in life though, I think it can be advantageous and applicable to some sectors of life, but it wouldn't do the same for money and the process of making or growing wealth.
You mentioned yahoo boys. They've created a certain standards and even people who aren't fraudsters seem to conform to their standards of money. It's a crazy situation.
As for me I choose the long road and the learning Curve, equipped with the experience that comes with it.
Thanks for coming through
