WEALTH

LUCK -- both with respect to initial endowment & to finding the right trading partner.







NATURAL ABILITY -- math skills to figure out which trades were beneficial and
bargaining/negotiating skills






EFFORT -- willingness to figure things out, find trades, keep playing







MOTIVATION -- desire to improve your position, win a prize,
succeed








These four factors were most important to you in the "Wealth" game.  These factors determined how much you increased your "wealth" value of your bag.

Guess what -- they will also be the exact same factors will be important in your financial life.   They are the basic determinants of wealth.
