According to figures, only between 15-20% of the global adult population owns stocks directly.

Go outside, see how smart and ambitious average people are in the first place. The post office worker, the naildresser, the bartender.

There are infinite ways to make money doing anything? Get a degree in STEM, or become a good salesman, or invest in gold or oil or other securities, S&P 500.

Don't have money or a degree? You can even bet on geopolitical outcomes online nowadays. Get "lucky" with crypto. I myself have no idea of the possibilities.

Yes nepotism, yes crime, yes unfairness left and right, but...

Is it really that hard and cutthroat to become at least financially secure and successful? Or does it just seem that way because most people are petty simpletons too much inside their own heads to solve their inadequacies and become tempered, self-overcoming human beings with clear objectives and structure? One could argue that with enough perseverance and awareness of the financial devices at hand, it at some point becomes impossible not to be on the up unless you fuck yourself over with things such as alcoholism, gambling or car accidents.

Are you rich?

65% of people are middle class and 25% are lower class. 9% are “upper middle” class. 1% are upper class.

I’d say most /biz/lestinians are capable of getting into the top 9%/upper middle class but there are still things that can happen that make it harder/impossible for some people.

Monopoly the board game was supposedly invented by a communist that wanted to show how much of “success” in a capitalist society is determined by random chance and backroom dealing, which it plainly is.

All of that is to say: You can get into the upper middle class by working hard and buying the S&P, but it takes more than just intelligence and ambition to get into the 1%. You need luck and connections too.

Yes, it's easy to become a millionaire, because there are so many stupid and unambitious people who will hand over money to you for doing something they could do themselves or which isn't worth the money.

For example, you could start a Youtube channel reacting to movies, make some money off of the countless retards who will waste their time on your videos, then parlay that into an investment, then a bigger investment. By that point you should be a millionaire.

I am a hitman

What is it with the rise of people wanting to unambitious and monotonous "jobs" with no growth? I get so many Tik Toks with women asking, "What is an easy job I can do at home to make 60k a year? I can't work fast food anymore". Do these people not go to college? Am I delusional in thinking that it's really not that hard for most people to get an investment banking or big law job just by doing good in school?

I'm not even talking about becoming a millionaire 10 / 1 percenter. But indicators seem to show even staying middle class these days is a struggle.

> “success” in a capitalist society is determined by random chance and backroom dealing, which it plainly is.

There is merit to that.

> You need luck and connections too.

I accounted for this in OP.

You'd be surprised at how common this actually is, at least it seems to me. If you're trying it at entrepreneurship and failing, you just aren't tapping the right tap.

> What is it with the rise of people wanting to unambitious and monotonous "jobs" with no growth?

Based on my anecdotal experience this would classify at least 70% of people.

> I get so many Tik Toks with women asking, "What is an easy job I can do at home to make 60k a year? I can't work fast food anymore".

Why would anyone not choose that over 8 hours in an office complex with total surveillance and social corporate power games?

> Do these people not go to college?

No bro, turns outs, not everyone can afford college. No money no time, no sustainable funding. No interest even. Most college degrees are worthless to boot.

> Am I delusional in thinking that it's really not that hard for most people to get an investment banking or big law job just by doing good in school?

There are reports all over the world of mass unemployment among college / university / faculty graduates. 4 years of sucking up Powerpoints does not guarantee a job.

Employers want experienced people they don't have to train, and that can suck up anything, which is what college degrees prove.

Honestly bro based on these questions, you have a lot to catch up to. And time flies and doesn't wait for you. Tap in before they take your soul.
