When I was young I was stupid. I fucked up went to strip clubs, gambled, took credit card advances. Put myself deep in debt. I realized how stupid I was, grew up, got a second job and paid off my debt.
Then I went to the library, immersed myself in books about stuff I wanted to know about. I had a college degree but was largely ignorant as I just got by. I went from 40k in debt to a millionaire in 7 years.
I retired early. Got bored, traveled, blew my money. Went back to work and am now in a good place that I could walk away with no regrets or financial burdens.
Yet I hear story after story about the economic crisis, how people can't get a job, etc. My best friend has been on unemployment for 3 1/2 years. The benefits MAY expire this year and he is worried how he can get by. I had to bite my tongue as I said, um, get a job. His response was it would cost him money to do so.
Really? Really? Really?
I offered six people a job making 60k a year this week and they all said, no I'm going to keep my unemployment benefits.
Do you really live with pride?
I've been broke. Had $17 dollars, went with a friend on a dealing audition, he had $7 and a carton of milk. Five years later he was a millionaire as an entrepreneur and owned 5 stores, and I was on my feet with a couple hundred thousand in the bank.
It's not hard, but it requires hard work and determination. But why bother when we can make no effort and have everything handed to us.
