Can anyone become wealthy, or is it mostly luck?
>>62077728If you buy an asset and the price valuation goes up, you got lucky.Simple as.Over a long enough time frame though prices tend to go down.
>>6207772899% luck, I say this as somebody who started a company and worked hard for years, even with all the effort I put in I was extremely lucky that the right pieces fell into place, elon musk was lucky, bill gates was lucky, steve jobs was lucky, jeff bezos was lucky, any of these people under slightly different conditions would be nobodies
The "secret" to "making it" is legitimately just saving up and investing long term in Gold/index funds no matter what. This sounds like typical Boomer advice until you realize the "no matter what" here is carrying A LOT of weight.I mean straight purging your friend groups that pressure you into spending, struggle foods galore, maybe working 2 jobs, never sending gifts, live in a shack/pod, never buying a car, ditching your culture/family and so on.Just make the numbers make sense where in 15 years, you are where you went to be. Not everyone can handle it and not everyone should do it as it will tear apart other things that would likely make you more happy. But that's kind of the point in why it works.
>>62077728Anyone can get lucky in the casino, but your supposed to grind and try things out until you find something that works
>>62077747you're supposed to subvert and enrage the underclass by claiming it's just a function of hard work and IQ

You ever wanted to do anal to that hot redhead girl working at the 7/11? Yeah well it’s mostly luck that gets you there
>>62077728Luck? LOL no. You have to be born into the right families with the right connections. Most of the stories about self made men are complete bullshit, look into the backstories of all these 'self made' men and you'll see they come from wealthy parents who were already intertwined with the movers and shakers of the world.
>>62077734Good luck timing those shorts bobo. Should have just gotten on board with the rest of us, but you think you're exempt from being a goy. So, you do an inherently evil thing that the jews have always done to gain wealth. Despicable.
>>62077728It's probably luck and esoteric nepotism.
>>62077759lmaooooooooo true
>>62077947it is esotericism congrats anon
>>62077804400k? nice i would short the dollar too
>>62077747ok but those guys are literally 1 in a billion foundersurely u can work hard and become wealthy enough with just hard work and IQ. Those FAANG guys end up retiring with millions and millions of dollars, the real geniuses make even more.
>>62077829FAANG workers are normal people who come from all types of families and they end up making an assload of money. Not billionaire tech ceo but more than enough, can get to 10MM many of those guys exist on that FATHenry reddit
>>62077829Being born in such a family definitely participates in the "luck" op was talking aboutnigger
>>62077728There are several options, provided you are reasonably mentally capable:A regular job, consistently saving and investing conservatively - building wealth is possible, but only over the very long term.A very time-intensive career, preceded by a tough grind to achieve top grades - significant wealth is possible, but at the cost of timeStarting your own business - pretty dependent on luckSpeculating on ‘gold rush’ trends like New Market/Dotcom stuff, crypto and timing it right - very, very dependent on luck
>>62077728Anyone, but you have to dedicate your life to it. Most people just balance having a life and accepting whatever station they were born into.
