I have a family member who was like that. Worked literally all the time, listened to sales training / self-help audiobooks on his commute, constantly "on his grind." Didn't make a difference; he lost like $500 on a bad investment and he had to go on food stamps a few years ago.

He's getting ready to buy a second house now. The difference? His multi-millionaire uncle gave him a busywork $100k salary job
