It can be a confidence booster but it is not a fix for anything. It is really just a temporary band-aid.
Wealth buys you freedom and nice toys. What is important is that both things remind a man that it was his accomplishments and desire that led to their acquisition. That is where the source of pride and confidence comes from.
I'm not "wealthy" but am certainly in the top 10-20% of income earners for my age (26). I have a paid off car, retirement account in excess of my student loan balance (positive net worth), and my own place. It's just reaffirmation that no matter how bleak things may get with these unfaith hoes out there, nothing is ever that bad in my life.

Good quote.
No. Even when I have a little money, none of the girls I'm involved with know about it. It's totally irrelevant.
Confidence for me is getting a beautiful girl to ride in my sh*tty car that's 4 years older than I am; it burns oil and leaks when it rains; and girls love it. At this point I could afford a nicer car, but it'd mean payments and commitments and would limit my freedom of choice for the next 5 years. Confidence for me is when a girl refuses to let me buy dinner--for her or me--because having access to my time is valuable enough that she's willing to pay for it. Confidence for me is giving a girl an awesome time at a park, at Walmart, at Taco Bell. Confidence for me is chasing a dream that might never be monetarily rewarding but that I believe in 100% as the only worthwhile endeavor I could take in life. And even if a girl has no appreciation for what I do, they appreciate that I'm doing something no one else is trying to do--and that's taking my own path in life. I'm free and they love it.
(Not that I'm not working to built it independently--but that's for me.)

It can be. Wealth increases your status which increases your serotonin which will naturally make you more desirable through your behaviour. But if all you're friends are richer than you its irrelevant.

Hell yeah! If a b**ch rejects you, go buy the latest gadget or a new Benz! You can manage wealth better than women anyway.

Please wealth is not just a confidence booster, it´s essential with women unfortunately!
I´m not saying you can´t get pvssy if you are broke but it´s soooooooooo much harder!!!!
Buying drinks, going out, eating out, clubbing, dressing nice, having a place to fvck.... How can you manage this without wealth? all this shiit is expensive as fvck!!
Going on holiday, going to a hotel for the weekend...
For me is one of the most important things regarding women and being a PUA!
You don´t have to be super wealthy but you need money to be a bit flashy, have expensive clothes latest phone etc nice watch gold jewelry it goes on and on girls do notice the small details
The car is not so important as long as you have a car i think accesories and cash and clothes matter the most!
BTW i´m not wealthy, but i carry myself well and do my best to look succesful and it ain´t easy and I spend a tonn of money in premium clothes and accesories (phones, jewelry, cologne) but i think is the least you can do to get pvssy if you are not a natural...

Do not use wealth as a means to an end to confidence. You can be confidence without money being in the equation.
Is it a confidence booster? Yes, it is. The system we live under now makes money the #1 resource anyone can attain due to it being currency. Women (or leeches in general) see men with money as an opportunity to either take, or share that resource as a means to survival.
Can we be angry at them for that? No. This is just how humans are wired biologically and psychologically.

I have the confidence of knowing I am poor enough to be safe from gold-diggers.

Financial security is a confidence booster. When you know you have the resources to support yourself, fulfill your own needs, and stand on your own two feet without help from anyone else, yes that is a confidence booster.
It's not about being able to buy girls gifts and whatnot. It's about knowing that you are independent and don't NEED a woman for anything. That she can come or go and you'll be fine - you can still support your own interests regardless - that's where the confidence boost comes from.

So the trick or method, is to not be that fodder. Are you saying perhaps, that if a man has wealth that the AFCs let that get taken from them by a woman? Because that's not the wealth doing that. That's the guy being a d1ck.
As much as I hate to admit it, guys close to me, who I have seen get taken for their $$$, were either stupid, lazy (no pre nup), or plain AFC. Im confident, that what I have in place will ensure that this will never happen to me.

This is why we spend as little as possible on women in the first month or two. Gold Diggers don't seem to care to hide it.

it defenitley helps me in my perosnal lifestyle
a guy with his own place , decent car and a bit of spare dough in the bank is always going to do better than some guy sitting in his mothers spare room catching the bus from a to b
not sure its much use with women , i dont like going down that rabbit hole where suddenly im paying for everything we do
i tend to hardly mention money or incomes in the first 3 or 4 months with a new woman

I agree with you totally. I am also in that 10%, since I have a master degree in engineering and im working abroad in Norway atm. ( at age of 24 )
Knowing that I am financially safe helped me a lot. When my ex dumped me, my great success ( in comparison to hers) maintained a little voice in my head saying "haha what a dumb *****, she will never have a life that I can afford, it’s her loss"
So yeah, no matter how bad things got, I always can fall back onto my achievements and be proud.
Also I felt bad for not having time for her since I worked 2 jobs and was writing my master thesis. I was exhausted, while some unemployed idiot had all the time in the world to talk to her whole night long. But looking back now I don’t feel sorry at all, its my life, girls are just a little extra to it.

It's a calmness booster because you are not worried i.e. INSECURE which is what most women despise. So a young rich boy (these days 22 yrs old is BOY), will appeal more to women (like Leonardo Decaprio was Always "rich" I think), because he has no worries and he knows it, financially. But this is not always the case, but over time it IS.
