Re: controversial/confrontational/hostile/bitter opinions

I don't think it's so simple (I have definitely been in the position where I had zero extra dollars to 'invest' in anything beyond gas money to the nearest food bank).

But overall I agree with what you said here and above. Working a dead-end job for 40 years is a choice. Lots of people make the choice every single day to go to work for someone else, to piss away what could be their retirement fund, to spend their time watching TV rather than learning a marketable skill, to bitch about rich people rather than learning about money themselves.

But not everyone. There's a lot of people out their that chose something else. They spent their evenings learning Arabic and how to write and left their dead-end job and became translators. Or they realized what they really wanted to do was own a food truck and employ other people rather than being the employee. Or they scrimped and saved for twenty years and retired at 35.

I started with $200 to start a shitty business and built it into a decent living. It wasn't easy. I had to live in my car and go hungry a hell of a lot and there's a lot of shit I don't know because I couldn't afford college and I nearly flunked out of high school. But now ten years later I'm financially stable enough that I could go into semi-retirement whenever I want. I'm not even thirty yet.

I run out of patience quickly whenever people start bitching about how the wealthy/society is keeping them down.

Oh, there are plenty of people who have started a business, learned an in-demand skill, worked two jobs while going to school, etc. I've met them. That's how I know it can be done. And I've worked two jobs while going to school, learned a skill (maybe not an in-demand skill, but a skill) and done the research how to turn that into income. So I have every intention of doing it too.
