They don’t talk about money — at least not more than anyone else. What they really talk about is work. The thing about rich people who’ve made it themselves is that they work more than anyone else I know. They work almost all the time. And they talk about their work, because that’s what they do all the time. The average person doesn’t want to work on weekends; the average person doesn’t want to work after work. People who make a lot of money work at 2 o’clock in the morning.
