I have friends that are doctors and multi millionaires that can't get laid in a $2 brothel with a fistful of quarters. I had plenty of sex when I was living in a studio apartment on an air mattress. I do have money now, and I will say, it helps... but not because I drive a fancy car or own property. It helps because I don't work 100 hours a week anymore and can go out more to bars/etc more often and meet women. That's it! My game is almost identical to the air mattress days. Maybe a few more cool stories, but that also came with age.
Yes there are rich guys in LA, but what do you do better and what can you learn from them? You're only 26, you have more than enough time to have 1 million by 40. Remember you are better looking and have game they don't have. That's the good part, the bad part, they have more money, learn and make more money.
Money helps with women, really money helps with everything. But there are dudes flat azz broke getting more women than millionaires. And trust me too, there are millionaires non stop smashing that look at Dan Bilzerian and probably say they aren't getting enough.
It sounds like you are on your path, 26 is so damn young man, if you made money great, but if not, don't worry, the money will come assuming you are putting the work in.
