We find a large number of blogs on the blogspot and on the Net, dealing with decisions to make money and become wealthy. Many of them contain clues and techniques. Some of them provide even links.
I am tempted to write something from my personal experience.
1. I was born in an extremely poor family. My father and paternal grandfather were cultivators and they lost their land as agriculture in India was a gamble with monsoons. My maternal grandfather was a landlord, but he lost his land in freedom struggle.
2. At the age of 12 itself, I realised that there was a need to make money to get two square meals. I am the eldest of five brothers. At that time three brothers were too young to work. Father, mother, myself, my next aged 10 used to work for a living.
3. We had a buffalo. We ran a small tea stall. We made some leaf meals plates everyday and supplied to shops.
There was no conscious decision to make money or be wealthy persons. It was just by force of circumstances that money had to be made. I shall not call it a quirk of fate.

I see you have created an enormous output of writing through your blogs. Your critique of Vivekananda is objective, though I feel that ofttimes you go by his words and not the spirit of what he represented. It ought to be remembered that many of his sayings are taken from his letters and it would be worth remembering that he would have been keeping in mind his correspondent when he sought to comment on this or that. While he certainly had no reason to speak the untruth and would not have done so, he could not have always have spoken on pure advaitic lines if he was to make sense to the correspondent. He had often to present matters from a layman's point of view. As a teacher, he would have sought to take his audience towards the higher knowledge by starting with common parlance. Anyway, going by your writings (of which I have not made any deep study yet) and the sharpness of your observations, you are no less a person than a Vivekananda. You are also speaking the truth and you prove that often it can seem that truth contradicts itself to arrive at greater truths. Our expressions of truth are ever dynamic and many faceted and expressive. They are dead words only if we miss the spirit for the letter.
