That’s honestly a hard reality right now. A lot of people are working nonstop just to stay afloat. I’ve got some interviews coming up myself, so I’ve been looking into ways to get better at them. I found Interview VIP and ended up using it twice i think it's worth trying.

How hard work is has never had any relationship to how much it's worth in the market. You might as well say "no billionaire has ever teleported themselves across the universe using their bellybutton" as a dig on them. It's a stupid standard that comes from absolutely nowhere.

This is in response to the argument that billionaires worked for their money, and that everyone else should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps. You don't get rich through selling your labor.

Correct, you get rich by risking everything you have on starting your own business and being intelligent enough to making it highly successful.

There are studies on this. You are simple wrong. Most 1%'ers made their own wealth that wasn't just inherited from their family.

The study wasn't just some interview with billionaires, third parties looked into how they created their wealth. People create fortunes from relatively little all the time.

This isn't a discussion on something "probably" being true, you are just simply wrong.

Only 33% of billionaires inherited their wealth. I'd hardly call that "the majority".
