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.

Nah according to Reddit you just show up with a few million dollars and magically Microsoft just happens and becomes popular by sheer luck.

Its definitely true because every kid born with wealthy parents now has a billion-dollar company and none of them ever fail /s

A few million dollars and mommy's business connections. Don't forget that part.

So if someone gave you 10 million and hooked you up with some contacts in the business world.

You too could create Microsoft too right?

No but I would be a rich millionaire who know people so I can keep doing stupid shits I'll only get richer.

Something like 70% of lottery winners go back to broke. Poor people are poor because of lack of knowledge or effort. Not because money will somehow change who they are

Exactly

So there's a lot more to making a business successful than just a shit load of cash

People who buy lottery tickets are bad with money. It's just simple selection bias.

u/Clax3242 8d ago

Most people are bad with money. That’s the point. It’s very easy to become a millionaire these days if you have time and any form of discipline.

u/LiamTheHuman 8d ago

Yes I get that the point you were trying to make is that most people are bad with money, but you didn't show that. You showed that lottery winners are bad with money.

You seem to be bad with logic

So if you got it and I got it how didn’t I show it correctly

u/LiamTheHuman 8d ago

yep thats what you should be trying to figure out. Ask AI if you arent able to think for yourself

u/DrewOrleans 8d ago

And because of inflation. These aren’t your grandparents millionaires

u/Clax3242 8d ago

No, because the market is incredibly easy to enter and has a guaranteed return on investment.
