He's 100 years old, he predates even the boomers that bought suburban cookie cutter houses. He lived in a time where you could just do whatever the fuck you wanted like building a hippie commune in the woods without the government razing it to the ground and murdering your wife and son.

I'm going to sue my mom so she literally dies in prison because she committed fraud against me. I will 'hate the player' and fags like you can sob and cry on behalf of someone else's terrible parents.

This is all after lockdowns. Researching what to invest in is boring and even mind-melting early on, but in many ways life revolves around learning, whether it's a new workplace and skills, or a new acquaintance and their interests.
Like me, you don't have to be right every single time. There are opportunities ahead you can't see and that don't even exist today. Best dip I ever spotted didn't exist until months after I first began looking for stuff to invest in. Do I see everything? Not at all. ASTEROID sat at such an ideal price since January and I only heard about it a few days ago after it popped off.
OP you are definitely capable of learning and growing. You actually did college unlike me who didn't even bother with grade 12 math. Just keep your eye out for opportunity. I could've made it much sooner if I took bigger chances sooner, but even that first time I chose well and a mere 1K turned into 30K a year later, has ended up being a story I use to encourage my friends to invest and believe in their ability to learn.
Multiple times this has resulted rather surprisingly in even girls I've been talking to for a while showing some admiration. Even better, because of explaining it in a way that shows it's just a matter of learning, sometimes they ask if I think they can succeed too, or ask if I have any advice on getting started. Rise up OP and keep your eye out for opportunity.

The boomers are the ones who made the current rules of the game.

You can't even put a caravan / mobile home on a bit of land you own in the UK without local government approval (which will be denied).
