Can becoming a Freemason make you richer?

It depends what you mean by "richer". Morally richer "yes", career wise "no". What this article omits is that many members are actually retired.

What this article omits is that there is a lot of prejudice against Freemasons. If I have achieved any success, it is through hard graft and despite being a Freemason. I'm always a little dubious about "unnamed" sources commenting on an organisation they've rejected. I'm happy to be named.
