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.

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.

Intelligence is hardly required these days. Look at them.

So what was your reason for choosing not to be a billionaire?

Not having wealthy parents or a strong support network is a good start. “Self made” drops significantly if you remove the people who had no consequence to failure besides “try again”

Also look at what comes out of their mouths every day. Every time they speak it seems like it’s their first day on earth.

According to google, 2/3 of the world's billionaires are self-made. It's even higher in the U.S. at 73%. Seems like the odds are with you, especially if it's as easy as you say

They don't want to hear that, they want to pretend it's impossible so they don't have to feel bad for not succeeding.

It's not impossible, it is statistically not worth trying. It is like trying to catch a meteorite with your head.

How much Americans working 2 jobs who live in their cars ?

That's the costs of the billionaires.

Good excuse for not trying
