Then in your 20s Instead of learning, seeing how the real world works via real life or working a job, you get told everything you do is perfect and anyone shitting on you is just a hater. You spend money on stupid shit rather than saving, fuck up your taxes, and expect to be a household name making unlimited money any day now.
Then your 30s hit. Your numbers plateaued and are on a downward trajectory and the only reason you can wrap your head around is "The algorithm did this" or "Anyone who doesn't like me is mad about a decade old review I made"
Then when your 40s hit, you have flip flopped on multiple stances you took, every endeavor you dipped your toes in is kind of a joke and does mediocre at best, you switch to MAXIMUM GRIFT OVERDRIVE and pretend you are starting a brand new company and that by funding you your sucke... I mean loyal fans are funding freedom and an idea and a new way of doing thing!
Investment ROI? What is that? We run this business on dreams and friendship! Surely that will keep everything going forever!
And you milk it for all you can and start saving, cause when this house of cards comes crashing down, all you will have to show to a future employer an employment gap over two decades long, a somewhat viral internet show that fizzled out over a decade ago, a string of failed business ventures, and a long list of documented controversial statements that no company wants to touch.
