Nobody trusted Carter because he was so corrupt. No honest business would deal with him. The Clintons on the other hand were like a marriage between a girl scout and a boy scout. With a squeaky clean and trust worthy record, combined with their moral guidance and brilliant minds for business, unleashed the lucrative rewards of their talents that were previously constrained by the paltry pay of superb public service. Even so , numerous honest and wholesome enterprises still robbed them of their true worth to the country , and to humanity at large.....unlike Carter who was punished with relative poverty, as is the fate of every villain in the end.
Jimmy Carter (who was rich prior to entering the White House) did not seem to share the "financial luck" of other democrats like Biden, the Clintons, Obama and Pelosi.
Was this just "bad luck" on the part of Carter, or was he actually the last honest democrat?
Libs/dems- how can you explain this peculiar difference?
How come Carter is worth just $10 million, but the Clintons are worth $250 million and Obama $100 million?
The Clintons introduced the "grifter" era of democrat politics in which the main goal was personal wealth accumulation. Trump is the only president since Harry Truman who's personal wealth has DECREASED after his presidency. Democrats, on the other hand, seem to go from nothing to being fabulously wealthy.
Weird, huh?
they all had to work hard and put in hours for overtime for extra cash
I don't know. As has been lodged against Trump by his critics, Carter had made some pretty controversial statements that could cast him in a questionable light such as accusing Trump of having been put into office by Russia back in 2019, blaming Charlie Hebdo for the attack on Jews in France, accusing Catholics/Baptists for women's mistreatment around the globe, describing the "principles of Allah" as key to peace (nevermind the Quran continually speaking of striving hard and fighting against the "unbelievers" with those lackadaisical in doing so or seeking peace decried), and mourning the "positive legacies" of Hugo Chavez.
Carter may come across as sincere and modest but there's plenty to disagree with him about. For instance, I'd be curious about what his proposed measures are for peace in the Levant that doesn't involve Tel Aviv's centre being within rocket range of Hamas or Hezbollah.
That doesn't track logically. If someone directs most of his energies toward things that don't benefit him, he will likely make less money. Are the Clintons, Obamas or Biden corrupt? I hope not, but I don't know one way or the other. But the evidence of Carter not being as rich as they are just simply isn't a logical conclusion since there are so many other reasons for the difference. I think he puts great value in being uber rich.
If you don’t know that Clinton, Obama and Biden are corrupt grifters then you’ve been in the basement too long.

Why will nobody actually read my posts? Unfortunately I am a little bit of a geek on the logic thing and all I am saying is that OP's premise is flawed. Look at it from a mathematical logic perspective, not a political/emotional perspective. I have taken no position on the ethics of Clinton, Obama and Biden for purposes of this discussion.

Carter is a humble man of integrity. Before we moved to Florida, we were neighbors with one of the secret service agents assigned to the former president. He thought very highly of him although he privately, strongly disagreed with his politics.

While Carter was an ineffective, lousy president, I don't think he was corrupt down to his soul, like the other presidents and politicians you mentioned.
