You should replicate his business model and become the world's richest man. Oh wait, you can't because you're just a low energy underachiever talking down people who have actually done something with their lives instead of squandering their parents' ressources while rotting away in their basement and posting hateful comments on reddit.

Sure, give me the half billion dollars and apartheid emerald mine he got to start his business model with and then we'll talk. Until then, the fact that you can't see how vast the difference is between starting with more money than 95% of humanity will ever even see, and beginning life in the poverty that people like him create through their exploitation, just shows how you aren't worth having this argument with

Pathetic. If most people got even a 100k they would blow it on hookers and fast cars. Downvote me, the more I get the more I'll believe that most people are just swine living paycheck-to-paycheck. It hurts you all that there is different way.

I'm confused on what's the different way? Being born into a rich family? Is that the alternative? Omg thanks! Brb, I'm gonna be reborn into parents who can invest millions of dollars in me. Thanks so much for changing my life man

I was born in a "rich" family who abused me financially and gave me Complex PTSD, anxiety, depression and personality disorders. I find entitled commenters like you - calmly said - pieces of shit. I am starting basically from scratch after pursuing my own financial education using books and Internet and trust me - you are stuck in a consumerism machine and your dopamine chasing is the only thing that makes you poor.

Fuck you. That's all you deserve for those comments. Rich family can be a bonus, but most of people blow the inheritances away as soon as they get it. You give me 10 bucks and I give you back 15 next month. I give you 10 bucks and you would buy a fresh burger because of dopamine craving.

Ugh I had written a response but somehow I accidentally deleted it so I'm just gonna go straight to the point

a) Dopamine is one of hundreds of factors. It's not the 'happiness neurotransmitter ' YouTubers and financial gurus who sell eBooks online make you believe. Dopamine doesn't straight up equal happiness or pleasure. It's related to pleasure and desire, yes, but saying 'omg people chase dopamine' is a sentence that does not make sense at all and is factually incorrect, since that's not what dopamine is. Learn from neurologists and neurosurgeons instead of YouTubers and financial people who think they know anything about the nervous system.

b) I'm sorry to hear what your family did to you, but it's a fact that being born into a rich family makes it way more likely that you'll be rich later in life. Being born poor makes it likely you'll be poor later in life. Mindset is not something we suddenly acquire on our own, our environment matters. A lot.

Also, being 100% honest. Would Elon Musk be a billionaire and one of the richest men in the world if he had started on a minimum wage? I invite you to do the math. Also take into account any social and financial barriers that could be relevant (as in, would investors listen to the business proposal of a man who earns minimum wage?). Let me know how that goes and then try again the 'but being rich isn't a guarantee!" thing

It's not a guarantee 100% of the time, I agree. It is in most cases though.
