The problem is that while the advice itself isnt bad, it is outdated, like much of boomer advice.
Asskissing, backstabbing, climbing, eliminating all debt and saving up during your 20s was very solid advice when it was easy for a young man to get an entry level corporate position; thanks to esg/dei/h1b etc... this isn't how things work for most now.
I "did this" (am 35), in my 20s i lived in an all black/jeet slum, ate saltines and vienna sausages while others in my cohort were going out every night, i think i went on one.... two week overseas vacation in my 20s.
Now im in a great place financially speaking, but i was able to get my foot in the door young, which i know is much easier said than done nowadays. Also i had something to toil towards that justified the squalor and restraint; if i was a fresh cs grad working at chipotle living with my parents at that age, id have been like fuck it, im just going to get drunk every night, life is hell
