Commutes might be the worst part of a W-2 job. At least this was the case in the pre-WFH era.

Unpopular opinion - 100% of the rags to riches tales on here leave some critical component outโฆ a loan from a wealthy relative, an exaggeration of current status, or just made up to sell courses and gain followers.

Will a recession be a net positive on peopleโs happiness?
- no envy of people whose net worth tripled in a year
- no thinking youโre a loser for not doubling your salary annually
- trades people actually call you back
- no six month wait for major appliances to be in stock

One should plan on generating income in some capacity until about 65-70.
Nobody wants to settle into a rocking chair before then, itโs not natural.
Also plan at least a few years of no income due to illness, burnout or pursuit of a creative endeavor - another natural thing

I never understood why people get bitter or jealous of other people's success.
I find it so damn inspiring & it only fuels my fire to perform even better! ๐ฅ
I want EVERYONE to succeed so I can hold myself to a higher standard!
My desire for YOU to win is almost selfish!

Just had a call with someone on Forbes 30 under 30 list and came away really impressed.
He shared with me how he made VP at a top tech company before age 30:
1. 4:30 AM wakeup
2. Cold showers
3. Gratitude journal
4. Meditate
5. Dad owns tech company

Hereโs the realityโฆ
The majority of Americans will build wealth through home equity or retirement funds.
People that preach building wealth through starting a business, real estate investing, crypto, day trading, or whatever are speaking to a tiny minority of the population.
