Should Wealth Come Before Wisdom?

Money can arrive faster than the discipline needed to manage it. We often admire sudden wealth without asking whether the person receiving it has built the habits to sustain it.

Lasting wealth is often quieter. It grows through patience, useful work, discipline, and the ability to sacrifice today for a better tomorrow. Would you rather become wealthy quickly and learn wisdom afterward, or build wealth slowly as wisdom grows with it? What has life taught you?
