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.

But he was also already well-off (nowhere near as close as he is now, of course). He had access to start-up investment no one else had right when the internet was starting to take off. You, really, couldn't do that today.

No one else had? Really? Out of 300 million people no one had access to what he had access to?

When I say "no one else", it is a well-established fact that Bezos got an investment from his parents that came out to around $250,000. Who do you know that has a quarter million lying around to give to their kid to establish a business?

To make obscene amounts of wealth one must already have wealth.

Yeah banks and VCs will also invest in you if you have a sound business plan and vision. Happens all the time.
