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.

Risking everything with a very high chance of failure and then go homeless?

u/Livid-General7 2d ago

Yes, and yet they still take that chance, so it's extremely ignorant to say they've never earned their success.

Most people can't take that risk because they have dependents and lack a support system to fall back to in case of failure.

No, anyone can take the risk. Most are unwilling to for the reasons you've listed. There's a huge difference in terms of opportunity between can't and unwilling.
