It's mostly luck that separates you and Trump/Musk

This is something broke people tell themselves to feel better. Just like ugly people say “it’s about what’s inside, not outside”. Cope harder

im not Machiavellian and don’t want to be.

Smart people have known this forever.
Yes, if my parents were not wealthy, I'd have had a harder time making as much money as I have now.

This should be surprising to nobody on here.
>>
>>544146563
it's social skill not luck. it's all about impressing the right people at the right times, you only need a mediocre level of skill in your chosen field so long as you have a highly favorable reputation. you can also have rich parents who can prop you back up every time you fall down, which i suppose is a form of luck but it's a dice roll that happens before you even exist.

my dad did not gave me even one million that Trump got
still got to be millionaire
but it's one banknote from denomination and in PLN, so about $25

Capital is also a topological space. If you already have enough to put a "dent" in it, it's easier to deepen it. People like Musk, Bezos, etc, are essentially black hole singularities of capital. Most people are stuck at the flat zero point which can be very sticky and difficult to get out of, especially if you're forced to spend most of your income. Most people in this situation either can't set some aside, or lack the discipline to do so, to create a little nonzero micro-probability of capital accumulation that slowly but surely increases with time.

No lol. Its time and mistakes compounded. I dropped out of high school and worked a slop hut job from 2006 to 2012. 80% of my paycheck went into a certain dividend stock until it was snowballing itself more than my contributions.
Did you know 100k is the 25% mark to a million? Probably not. Compound interest is a bitch. Now im sitting on my ass making what a nurse makes with zero work.
Stay poor.

I'm too lazy, I've comfymaxxed my life with minimal effort to get middle class income and as much free time as possible for my hobbies (70h/week).
I could invest much more and take some risk but so far I've been a pussy or monetize my hobbies, but would it feel like a hobby anymore at that point as my life is my hobbies.

Musk - father a multi millionaire
Gates - mother and father rich, mother stole ibm software and gave it to Bill
Zuckerberg - rich parents, apart of Jewish organization in Harvard, was given proto Facebook by Israeli mossad from stolen darpa tech
Bezoz - step parents and family gave him $800k in startup money, equivalent to $3 million today

some people don't live for money
most smart people are also scumbags that are easily corruptible and accept money they don't earn

it is always assumed that you are poor if you speak out against corruption and corrupt systems, b/c anyone with money is already on the take

lazy skimmers will be the most uncomfortable

Yea but he made money first with a online maps website, he made it with his brother but it was crappy and his Jewish friend connected to him by his dad got someone else to do it and they sold it for $500 million to a company that never used it and was killed in the tech bubble burst. No shenanigans there no sirree

Social skills have always mattered more than intelligence when it comes to making money. This becomes more are more the case as technology advances and more jobs become a joke where people sit around in zoom conferences all day. 100-110 iq is pretty much optimal for sucess in the modern economy. Every sucessful person I know is about in this range. Every highly intelligent person I know is a complete loser.

Apart from lottery winners getting and staying rich requires forfeiting your morals on a daily basis. Even if you repent and try to be a good guy, you 'll be whacked by the other rich.

>tfw smart but in a philosophy/history/politics/sociology kind of way and not a business/finance kind of way

man it's so humiliating seeing dipshits succeed in life because they got an MBA and have an uncle that got them an internship at an investment banking firm, while you have encyclopedic levels of knowledge but are stuck in menial job hell because you don't have the skills that employers want

>If you're so smart why aren't you rich?
Taxes, there are usually at least four different taxes you have to pay to do literally anything, the difference between me and Musk is that Musk is given tax money people like me are paying.
Eliminate taxes and these welfare queens will implode on their own while people like me will actually keep the money we are making.

>staying rich requires forfeiting your morals on a daily basis
fucking this
that saying:
>money doesn't make you immoral as much as being immoral makes you money

>tech/greed/narcissism/corruption destroys humanity one person at a time
>people are surprised when the world turns into a superficial shithole loaded with people of low integrity, no skills and no standards

Watch as the Federal Reserve Uniparty owns, datamines, monetizes, surveils, and profits from every transaction on the globe:

today, most people are either:
corrupt (they are actively profiting)
compromised (someone is blackmailing them)
complicit (not outwardly doing anything illegal, but looking the other way so they may get theirs)
or
cowardly (they are too spineless to speak up)

We have all been living a horrible lie that only benefits those entities that issue the currency (24 international banks aka the NYFed's primary dealers) and those financial firms that they choose to fund.
This century-long, usurious scheme leads to a grotesque elitist class, inequality, misallocation of capital, and market rigging. This constant skimming by the privately-incorporated Federal Reserve Uniparty leaves the citizens downtrodden and constantly in need of new loans and taxes. Until the Fed has been abolished, we will ALL continue to devolve.

>just a slow, quiet descent into GLOBAL mediocrity, poverty and crime
>The NYFed, and its primary dealers — 24 private, nation-less, financial corporations, destroying the planet with national indebtedness, purposeful arbitrage and false scarcity

>hurricane just rolled through. my wife and I cleaned up. I'm not paying spics to clean up my place
>we go out to eat at nice places but we love to cook at home
It's mostly luck
no, I busted my ass to get where I am. my rich/wealthy friends can all say the same thing.
I've given my son very little in comparison to others to start his life. He will easily surpass my wealth in 10 years or so. hard work will be how he does it.
the new money is the problem, those "rich" guys are one bad day away from being poor. The mcmansion across from my little farmhouse will probably get foreclosed on. I know where these people work, they can't afford what they have.

Parasitism is an A+ survival strategy in nature. Even back in the “good ol’ days” you’ll still find a class of people willing to let others toil and then reap their undeserved rewards. It’s why you have stories like the ant & the grasshopper; unfortunately the parasites have completely latched on to all aspects of commerce. They control the narrative as well, which means that the hard-working man who has fallen on hard times is now the deadbeat, while the Machiavellian in robes who has never once been a net contributor to tax coffers is considered the apex of honor in our society.

Are you retarded? Do you know who paid for all of that infrastructure? Do you know who paid for the development of ARPANET? American tax-payers. And the same greedy pieces of shit who privatized public property decided to bring you in to mitigate costs even further. It amazes me that you forget the countless White tech workers that trained you before they were laid off. You help usher in a caste-based management system where-ever you’re employed. All you’ve helped to create is a new era of parasitic surveillance technology at the expense of the native population. I’d say you should be ashamed, but we both know you’re incapable - it’s why you got the job in the first place.

“I am smarter than everyone else” is usually not coming from an actual smart person but from someone who can absorb dungeons and dragon trivia and is usually a loser that is not liked by many people. They develop the “I am smarter than everyone else” persona to protect their ego

My net worth is over $500k, a few years ago I was struggling. At this rate I'm going to be a millionaire soon. There was no 'chance' involved, it was the result of decisions I made.
