No one is going to give you anything. ACTUALLY, people will be quicker to take from you than they will be to give to you. If you maintain that mindset, you can earn what you deserve, protect what you have earned, and the times that you are surprised with a blessing, you'll appreciate it that much more. But to think you're going to get a lot while putting in a minimal amount of work makes you naive and feeble minded. And that doesn't mean that investments can't grow; it means that you must invest wisely so that you have put in the time to make up for the money that you're not putting in to get out the money that you want to get. But if someone comes to you, says "I have an idea that can make you a millionaire in 8 months," and, after a 30 minute to an hour talk, you sign on and put your money in without doing any outside research of your own, you deserve to take this loss as a learning lesson. Work for what you want. It's not going to happen over night and if it does, it won't last. Even musicians who we think are so rich might have 1 or 2 albums that do ok and they might do a mini-tour but after that, what keeps them afloat? Hard work. Market research. Hours in the studio to perfect one song. Same with athletes. They have to train their bodies to keep them in the game for seasons and seasons just so they can maintain the lifestyle they want. If they don't, they're getting cut after the pre-season. So do what you need to do or struggle forever. The choice is yours.
