I can see how you made this conclusion, which is semi-correct. You don't have to partner with other wealthy people though, it just makes getting to a point of retirement faster. So if I was to do everything myself, it would probably have taken 12 years to get to where I am vs 6.

This isn't a small difference, it's huge. 6 years of your most productive adult years.
