I mean, I understand if you're an entrepreneur and you don't want to give away your golden goose secret sauce idea as the ensuing competition would wipe out your profits, but what I don't get is the high earners in normal 9-5's who still downright refuse to reveal what they do. Why should a (tiny) bit of extra competition hurt them on that end? They have all the certs and experience that got them to that position, right? So that would filter out 99% of the audience that learned of that by default, right?

It's so frustrating the keys to wealth are always hidden amongst the club and they just laugh at your misfortune and deliberately gaslight you with bad advice to lead you off a cliff. It's so cruel and unnecessary.

Rich people want to feel better than you, they don't want to help you.

Every human wants to feel better than the others. It's hardcoded in our brains. It makes us happy.
Women more than men even.
The norman masks and straight up lies of pretending to be oh so empathetic towards others are crumbling already.
Wait till times get really bad. Then it'll all be over.

It seems their sauce is pretty thin and has nothing to do with genetic ability.

Outside the USA, wealth and professions are not related. I get that you somehow chose to pay your doctors 1.5M a year for 40% misdiagnosis rates, but that's not a global standard. Normally, wealth is related to early life income and investment.

True they always brag about how much money they have. The need to remind you of how they are rich and are superior to you

You dont need to be rich just own things that will help you when times get rough.

You could have joined the military and gotten debt free college, a 0% down payment house, jobs experience, and disability checks for life. That's the real wealth hack that anybody can do.

Failing that you need to go school and land a cushy white collar job. Which admittedly can be tough to do depending on where you live.

Buy, sell slightly higher. Buy the dip, sell slightly higher. Repeat until you don't need to.

The uncomfortable truth is even if that rich guy told you how he made his fortune and gave you the best idea in the world, you would still fail.

I don't want to feel better than anyone. I just want to top slaving for goldstein.

They aren't though, they're fucking obvious and lots of people talk about them. But you cannot make a man see what he has determined not to see.
-Save 3 months living expenses for your emergency fund.
-Pay off all debt (except the house).
-Invest 15% or more of your household income.
-Pay off your home early.
-Live below your means.
