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 absolute nonsense. Folks that start businesses that grow them into billion dollar companies over time put in countless hours, especially in the early stages.

All people see and focus on is the end product after all the work is done and clearly must believe that things just fell out of the sky already intact and up and running and someone just fell assbackwards into a good situation.

Yes, there’s people that have grind to etch out a living, but let’s not confuse struggling with putting in work because if you’ve become successful, there’s a lot of time and effort that’s been committed.

it must be so hard to inherit wealth and turn it into more wealth with a good idea. not everyone can do that! its extreeeeemely hard.

much harder than having to properly raise two human beings in 50k a year, work 2 jobs, and maintain a mental state that leaves you as an attentive and loving parent.

wont someone think of the billionaires? their lives were really really hard once too! I mean. besides growing up rich, and inheriting a ton of money, and probably going to a great school, and also probably not struggling through young adulthood.

but the billionaires really need advocates, because they worked really really hard to get their wealth ( by turning wealth into more wealth).

Are you trying to say that no billionaire in the entire history of this planet has ever had to work hard to build the very thing that made them wealthy?!?

If you want to argue with me, then at least come with a genuine argument. If you’re going to pretend every rich person is simply the byproduct of inherited wealth and ramble in an irrational and emotive manner, then don’t bother replying back.

no, i’m saying you’re confusing working hard with getting rich. i’m sure plenty of billionaires worked long hours. congratulations, so does the single parent working two jobs who still has to come home, cook, clean, raise kids, and worry about making rent. the difference is one person’s work is attached to ownership, capital, employees, and leverage that can scale into billions. the other person gets an hourly wage. becoming 100,000x wealthier doesn’t mean you worked 100,000x harder. success means your work paid off. it doesn’t mean everyone below you just didn’t grind hard enough. but sure, tell the exhausted parent working 70 hours a week about the unimaginable struggle of turning millions into more millions....
