How do you become so rich that you don't need to ask for someone help ?

I feel so dumb and stupid that we live a modern functioning society with technology on our finger print but still don't use the Internet to become smart.

Pretty much all of cousins who came out of poverty have made a name for themselves and their parents are walking in society with their head held up high and my mother says I feel ashamed of you. That you let me down. I wish I could change the trajectory of my life so she can atleast be relaxed in her mind that his son at least got a decent job or started a business. I noticed that if you have money or important job title maybe people will respect you otherwise nobody values a bumb
