That's always a good question. Were you smart, or were you lucky?

This is most often a problem with traders and investors who made a good bet. Less so with something that took a lot of effort to make work.

I know a married couple who blew through an amount in eight figures and had to get low level jobs. Lost their house.






Maybe somewhat less, but effort doesn't really imply value and value doesn't imply successful extraction.
