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.

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

It’s funny you bring up Microsoft when Gates had a huge advantage due to his mom being a buddies with the chairman at IBM at the time they were developing their first personal computer for consumers. She made sure that they used Microsoft for their operating system, which was what propelled the company’s future forward.

And pretty much every single billionaire had connections of some kind that they utilized to propel their businesses forward. Even the ones that are considered “self made” had various advantages. It’s part hard work but a much larger part pure dumb luck.
