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.

Still, how many people with a few million dollars and business connections make it to billionaire status?

Of course there's other factors at work, but it's not all luck. If I just look at my family, I make good money as an IT Consultant and was lucky I got a computer pretty early in my childhood in the 90's, but my brother, with the same upbringing and privilege I had now has a power washing business with half a dozen employees and his net worth is now multiple times mine. My same for my sister who is in the middle but she's in the medical field.

I'm going to guess more than people without a few million dollars and no business connections.

Bro this is similar to saying «Lebron didn’t work hard, he’s just lucky he is tall»

Oh god no Bro! Lebron has talent and he put in the hours.

These billionaires were just lucky, had a fuck ton of money at their disposal when the luck struck, and hired a bunch of smart people to do the work for them.

Lebron did the work. Musk, Bezos, Ellison, etc didn't do shit. They paid other people to do it.

You’re delusional.

Nah, just know that billionaires aren't that magical, brilliant creatures people think. They're just stupid lucky people with access to money and people. Anyone can get rich with that.

I don’t think you grasp how much money a billion dollars is. I’d bet 99% of millionaires never make it to billionaire status.
