Notes -
Leg up? Get your children to prestigious schools, where they meet children of rich and powerful and possibly befriend them.
This - connections, knowing people who know people - is the sauce for success. This is what prestigious education is about, this is what people are paying for.
Pursuing the best education is not untypical, but knowing what exactly makes prestigious schools the best is definitely untypical, most normies still feel it is about knowledge and learning.
All other things you named are optional.
Look at rich and powerful people - are they handsome and good looking? are they strong and athletic? are they learned and knowledgeable? No, because they do not have to be.
Ah but see there's the disconnect. I don't care about rich - I care about wealthy-enough-to-never-worry. I don't care about power over other people, just power over self.
Of course being a billionaire with a Jet is perhaps the ultimate version of this, but I don't believe in setting low probability goals or those that select for sociopathy. Each generation of my family has improved its lot significantly. I'm looking to continue that progress and give it an upper hand, not shoot for world domination.
