>Looking at my social circle via wealth>One friend grinded his ass off in school for all four years, got top grades, got hired in investment banking, makes six figures>Me and another friend (who i met at work), got ok grades got hired for $60k as analysts>He grinded his ass off, came in early, got promoted, now makes $80k>I slacked off on social media, got promoted once to $65k... got fired after 4 years>Got rehired by another firm at 60k again.So top finance grinder became investment banker, my friend who slacked but then worked hard in the corporate office is now earning $80k, and me, the lazy asshole is still at $60k.Our salaries now are directly proportional to how hard we worked in University and the office. Now that I'm married I have to start taking life way more seriously and work harder so I plan to rise up again. But still.
>>62686581Well OK but I lucked out on bitcoin and got several hundred thousand dollars by doing absolutely nothingAnd a whole generation of boomers did pretty much the same with houses
>>62686585Ok well I didn't, but I witness people around me getting promotions and high paying jobs and they're the ones who grind, stay after work a bit, etc.
>>62686581Because most rich people worked hard, but most hard workers are not rich.
>>62686581>makes six figuresis that it? i have chink cunt friends from elementary school that are big time lawyers in the city make half a million a year. however, the richest guy i know got really good at halo 3 in high school, started selling xbox accounts for bitcoin, got incredibly rich, and is now retired. hard work will only make you upper middle class. investing correctly is how you actually make it to the upper class.
Go work 60 hours busting your ass at a warehouse to only make 70k a year then you’ll realize “hard work” isn’t shit
>>62686581old saying: A students get PhDs, B students get MS degress, C students give large endowments to the university. Do you understand what that means?
>>62686591Yeah of course you can work harder to get a pay rise and all.What I would say is that when you get into a lot of money you realize how arbitrary it is. Some absolute retards get rich and that's just how it is. It kind of devalues honest work.
>>62686607Did you even read what you wrote? If working hard at even a warehouse job can make you super rich than this just proves me point. I went to Ivy League, you don't need to even go to Ivy League for that.>>62686593Anon below me got super rich working at a warehouse.>y school that are big time lawyers in the city make half a million a year. That's just gross. I work in the finance district, big city too, I make $60k. The top classmates I know (from Ivy League) make $110k
>>62686618>If working hard at even a warehouse job can make you super richyou think making 70k a year makes you super rich? how brown are you?>That's just gross.That's just life. There are hundreds of thousands of people better than you in every way shape and form, you are subhuman to them. All of your classmates are retarded and can be making way more. I have a BS from a state school with shit grades and a felony and even i make 90k.
They didnt work hard, they just pretend to work hard
>>62686618> working hard at even a warehouse job can make you super rich than this just proves me pointYou think 70k is rich? Pretty sure that’s below median next year. And that “hard work” is literally you burning 1500-2000 calories from activity alone, whatever bullshit meme office shit you’re referring to isn’t “hard work”“Hard work” doesn’t pay because supply and demand
>>62686581Are you in a third world country? IB makes 500k-1m+ at senior levels in America.t. just got a VP promo, 275k base + 250k bonus
>>62686592tpbp. Hard work is helpful, but not sufficient, for making lots of money.
>>62686639>claims to be IB>lacks reading comprehension
>>62686581100k isn't rich, it isn't even middle class.
>>62686628>you think making 70k a year makes you super rich? how brown are you?Anyone who's not a Jewish pedophile would say that>ve a BS from a state school with shit grades and a felony and even i make 90k.Then you're retarded. Even if you become a billionnaire, if you didn't go to Ivy League you're trash.If you talk to a lot of the parents of Ivy League classmates, they'd rather their daughter be set up with an unemployed U Columbia grad than some multi millionnaire trash who didn't even go to Ivy League.
>>62686632Office work is the only real hard work.>>62686639In Canada you make $120k most.
>>62686693Earning even over $70k means you're disgusting pervert. $100k is unforgivable.
>>62686694not even remotely correct and not funny enough to be humorous, which means your post is cringe. ivy leagues are now almost entirely DEI niggers and jews.
>>62686581Hard work is the best way to make 6 figure wealth. Investing is the best way to make 7+ figure wealth. There are a lot of hard workers who have good jobs, but don't know how to invest. There are also a lot of hard-workers paid minimum wage, just struggling to get by
>>62686702You claimed hard work will only make you upper middle class.I'm assuming that was a joke but it wasn't funny.
>>62686709I don't want 7 figure wealth, I want 6 figure wealth.I work hard and invest and my goal in life is to earn $80k a year. I plan to combine:>educationmaxxing (Ivy League degree + CFA)>Networkmaxxing (Dad was a former Congressmen, leverage that)>Investmaxxing (Build income streams from stocks)>Grindmaxxing (Promotions)
>>62686581Just because rich people work hard does NOT mean everyone that works hard gets rich.4chan users are literally too stupid to understand this
>>62686719You are a 4chan user calling yourself stupid
it's cool you spam this fake story every few days I guess, that won't actually get you any money though.
>>62686811Actually a job is the only way to make money. Investing will just get you thrown in a pedophile camp.
>>62686711idk why you would assume thats a joke because its 100% true. hard work will top you out at $300k a year if you're working in NYC or LA. being born rich is the only way to be truly rich, except for the really exceptional people like Bezos and Zuckerburg.
>>62686831>idk why you would assume thats a joke because its 100% true.Because it's complete horsehit.I have a friend who's making close to $80k a year because he showed up early, stayed late, etc. Did everything he needed to. I'm on track to becoming rich if I stay at my firm for 5-10 years.
You can't get rich on a salary. You HAVE to be a business owner. 100%.If you truly want to be salaried the only option you have is grinding untill you become a partner, AKA business owner.Education doesn't really matter that much. If you're not retarded you can get a master that is fine. But you need to have some guts and just start a business.
>>62686718>I don't want 7 figure wealth, I want 6 figure wealth.Why? 6 figures is not enough to even own a house. Let alone providing for your family.>educationmaxxing (Ivy League degree + CFA)>Networkmaxxing (Dad was a former Congressmen, leverage that)>Investmaxxing (Build income streams from stocks)>Grindmaxxing (Entrepreneurship)This will make you either 10x as much money AKA 7 figure wealth, or 6 figure wealth 10x as fast.
>>62686901>You can't get rich on a salary. You HAVE to be a business owner. 100%.Minimum wage in a blue state or Canada will make you super rich. >If you truly want to be salaried the only option you have is grinding untill you become a partner, AKA business owner.Terrible idea. The best idea is to be an employee. You get paid by the business and become rich.
>>62686911>Why? 6 figures is not enough to even own a house. Let alone providing for your family.I believe people who are that rich are unethical and part of pedophile networks (Epstein class)>This will make you either 10x as much money AKA 7 figure wealth, or 6 figure wealth 10x as fastI've already done most of these things. I have a finance degree from Princeton, I have my CFA, I've been chatting with my dads friends, one of which was also a Congressman. I invest all my savings and I grind everyday except Sunday.So far I make $60k a year but my rent is $2200 so a lot of it goes to that.
>>62687017You have to jewmaxx and live with your family to kickstart your wealth
>>62687095Living with your family is the dumbest thing ever because you won't earn any money living with your family.You have to move out so you can work a job and earn money. Saving money means nothing if you earn nothing.
>>62686843>>62687017>80k>60k>over half your income to rentjust fucking kill yourself now. you are going to work until the day you die. you will never retire. you will never be rich. you will never relax. the rest of your life will be wagie hell, and at the age of 85, as you're in a hospital bed broken, poor, and alone, you'll realize that you should have killed yourself when you read this post.
>>62687152If you make more than that then I genuinelly want you to know that you will burn in hell forever. Being super rich is quite literally a mortal sin and you will be flayed alive for eternity with zero rest.>you will never retireRetirement is the greatest hell a human can experience, and it sends to the eternal hell afterwards>you will never relaxYou can't relax if you're rich, you will always feel like you're burning>the rest of your life will be wagie hell,Being a super wealthy pedophile is the worst hell a human can experience, and will send you to the actual hell too.I seriously hope you know now that you will spend an unlimited amount of time in more pain than a burn victim while being blind and thirsty.
>>62686618>If working hard at even a warehouse job can make you super rich>$70kFucking no? It's not bad but it's sure as shit isn't rich.
>>62686694>Anyone who's not a Jewish pedophile would say thatNo. That's a starting to middling career pay.
>>62687163Even the top Ivy League grad earners don't earn that.
>>62687144Living at home is how I retired in my 30s and now make more than 90% of Americans without working lol
>>62687171My ex girlfriend gets 95k as a neonatal nurse. It's not impressive.
>>62687176I was happy when I found out someone who i knew who was earning $75k got diagnosed with liver cancer.It's disgusting and these are bad people. Unless they're donating all their extra money, they're gross.
>>62687017>I've already done most of these thingsYou didn't do the single thing that you need to, which is to start a business
>>62687221Starting a business is stupid. Being an employee is where it's at
>>62687157>If you make more than that then I genuinelly want you to know that you will burn in hell forever.Hell doesn't exist and nothing happens when you die. do you realize how hard you're coping right now? you don't, because you're retarded, but what you're doing right now is crying and screaming like a baby that people are better than you. you mentally can not cope with not being the best. this is stuff that 4 year olds deal with. you really should kill yourself now to save yourself from a life full of getting cucked and other embarrassment.
>6 figures>$60k>$80k>$65kOP, they guys working at the gas station car wash do better....
>>62686581Fuck the university and the medicine scam industry!
>>62686612The saying is the A students work for the B students, the B students work for the C students and the D students clean the building.Social skills are more important than bookfag knowledge and being able to get along with others and ve likable matters most. I started in sales at 30k/yr and 5 years later im at almost 200k.
>>626869017 figutes usually requires you be csuite at f50, a business owner, or the absolute best in your field globally.
What come first? Money come first or utopians society come first?
>>62686618> I went to Ivy LeagueIvy League-tier grammar. For future reference, if you want to larp, make it appear convincing next time.
>>62686581>$80k>richThat's like $50k pre-covid. It's not even a middle class salary, lmao. What you're saying is that hard work (without connections) gets you to the upper echelon of the working class, which is true
>>62686581>hard work>investment bankinganon when people say hard work doesn't get you rich they mean actual manual labor that wears down your body and fucks up your jointsworking "hard" in some cushy office job is like being business savvy with a 1mil opening loan, people aren't poor because they're stupid or lazy, people are poor because it's pretty hard to find a cushy enough job to actually investif you think you get rich by working overtime in some investment banking you're relying that your boss gives a fuck about your effort and that some team lead isn't taking the credit for "whipping the team into shape"truth is you should just learn how to invest money, find the highest paying job you can get your hands on, get the money, invest and as soon as you can cycle your investments back into other investments while sustaining yourself get the fuck out of that job
>>62687983Both are true. It is hard to get a cushy high paying job (as in luck involved in some way) but at the same time, yes, a ton of people are stupid, quite stupid
>>62686593>hard work will only make you upper middle classyou can clear multi 7 figures a year salary from working hard
If hard work made you rich, donkeys would be kings.
>>62687387>7 figutes usually requires you be csuite at f50, a business owner, or the absolute best in your field globally.True for the most part. But I have a few buddies that are employees at hedge funds that can clear 7 figs if the fund has a good year. Hard to get these positions and requires a good amount of networking and luck but it's possible. The downside though is that's not a steady salary so you can't go out and spend the good years, bc the fund might shit the bed the next year and you only make $175k.
>>62686581>Failed math in high school>Got into an engineering program at a low level university >Barely passed with low GPA>Fast forward 10 years and I am making $200kLife is funny sometimes.
>>626873877 figures of income, sure. 7 figures of wealth, absolutely not. Earning 6 figures income and selling your business when you retire gets you to $1M extremely easily.
>>62690028Hey faggot are you my brother in law?
>>62690044Businesses usually sell in the range of 1 or 2 years gross revenues. So if you own a business and are making say, $100k gross, your business will sell for somewhere around $100k. If you want to sell a business for a million dollars you need to be making a million dollars a year. Or include a building worth a million.
>>62690107>usuallyIt's pretty easy to get a 5x ratio on a business if it's solid and doesn't rely on the founder putting in work anymore
>>62690180Nope
>>62686581I grinded my ass off in school. After my stint of partying that is. I was the one who ended up having to champion all my group projects since nobody else cared. They all spent their time looking to grease palms for employment. I remember stopping dev on a project because I felt disrespected. Forced one of my "group members" to go and explain a project to our prof. He had done no work. He wss messaging my groupchat about how to explain mid presentation. We received a lower mark for this. But I did not care. What is funnier is that this idiot is likely employed in my field hahahah. The world is an illusion.
>>62690242>We received a lower mark for this. But I did not care. What is funnier is that this idiot is likely employed in my field hahahah. *and I'm not. No matter. I have no desire to be anymore.
It's a calculated blend of work hard and work smart. You still have to pick good shots and good places to apply yourself as necessary. A guy "working hard" at his $15/hr fast food job is never getting anywhere, he needs to use his brain and find better vectors.
>>62686581all that matters is your connections and if people like you or not. it is possible that working hard and being reliable will make people like you
