"Bashfulness is an enemy to poverty" sounds odd to modern ears. Perhaps bashfulness helped to build wealth because a shy Scot wasn't inclined to show off by squandering money on a gilded coach (or, in today's terms, on a gold-plated Bentley).
And, yes, wealth can be ruinous. Fortunately, trust companies exist to help today's wealthy families limit the harm.
