People say "his parents helped him" like it's an insult.
If you get this type of help at any level, you've got a pretty awesome family. Most people's parents can't even spare a few words of encouragement, let alone money to start a business.
College is a tax on poor people.
Your parents could have used the money they saved for school to buy you a rental property, but instead they gave it away to some billion dollar institute.
All so you could *possibly* experience the joy of wearing the yoke of another man.
My grandparents rent a place in Florida every winter.
Owner decided to sell. Listed today for $280k. My grandma offered to buy in cash. An "Investor" swooped in and bought for $340k.
Blackrock isn't playing around.
Poor man: Loads up on a f*ck ton of debt.
Middle class man: Debt is bad. Did you know you can save $1 million over 80 years if you never go out to eat? Frugality is the key to success. Here's a platitude about the true value of money.
Rich man: Loads up on a f*ck ton of debt.
Imagine the future.
A man packing Disney branded toys into McDonald's Happy Meals for $120 an hour.
His tax rate is 90%. What's left over is just enough to cover rent on his Blackrock Authorized Habitable Sleeping Cube ™ and enjoy the occasional grilled cricket burger.
Riding the bus to my McDonald's job, knowing the manager will bully me for being 5'2" and overweight.
I open Tinder. Zero matches, same as always.
The landlord calls, I've been evicted.
How did it all go wrong?
I'll tell you:
Warm Showers.
Use my fate as a cautionary tale.
1. Rich People Never Borrow Money
Really?
Most wealthy people have mastered leverage.
If you can borrow $800,000 at 3% interest and generate a 5% ROI, you're going to be rich.
If you save $150/month by skipping Starbucks, you're staying put.
Modern man can run a media production company, control virtual real estate, own equity in Fortune 500 businesses, and connect with some of the greatest minds alive.
All from his phone.

Self-discipline
Culture
Social skills
Body language
History
Personal finance
Geography
Cheaper and more informative than most state schools.
Started playing around with credit cards last year.
Put expenses on them, immediately log in and pay off balance that same week.
Rewards are fantastic.
If you have basic common sense, it's free money.
As much as we make fun of Antifa and dorm room Marxists there is something to be said about American society when when everyone needs to be a Titian of Finance or master small business skills just to have a normal standard of living.
A man once asked for time off from work.
His mother was sick and he wanted to visit her in the hospital.
The man's boss said no.
So the man quit and started his own Internet business.
The man's name?
Jeff Bezos.
Plz retweet if this inspires you.
Two interesting observations about early 2000's gaming / nerd culture.
Huge overlap with being a redneck.
Nerds were legitimately uncool back then and gaming WAS NOT mainstream. Yet everyone in this video is in better shape than the average American today.
That story where Picasso charges a guy $1 million, paints his painting in 5 minutes, and says "You paid for the lifetime of practice that let me get to this point..."
Is the perfect analogy for learning any skill.
Advice to women readers.
Start a YouTube channel about some nerdy male.subject like wristwatches, Bitcoin, cologne, etc...
And you will 10x everyone else in the niche.
Japanese people love being smug about their strict gun control and slave-like obedience to draconian laws.
While failing to mention that there are no guns because BIG DADDY AMERICA had to swoop in and take them after Japan's genocidal spree across mainland Asia.
Reading a Graham Hancock book, for a pseudoscientist / "conspiracy theorist" his work is incredible detailed and well sourced.
Would bet money 99% of the "I f*cking love science" crowd could not follow the material.
When my grandfather was a little boy, he got a orange for Christmas. Because that was considered an exotic food.
Now he can go to any supermarket in the world and eat as many as he wants.
Modern infastructure lets you live better than the emperors of old.
There's no point in eating out in the States unless you're going gourmet or exotic.
Sandwich / burger with sides and a drink for $20 - $30 is a rip-off.
No nutritional value either.
Just do steaks and salads at home.
Super cunning people will flood you with non-information.
Think Warren Buffett.
Average person knows a ton about him, and none of that material has any substance.
Plays an open book, feeds you nothing, and yet people still fall for it.
In the early 1900's Russia proposed a worldwide suspension on the development of new military equipment for 5 years.
Ostensibly to usher in world peace.
But actually because Russia couldn't upgrade their army as fast as Austria and needed more time.
ESG is selfless though.
Observation.
Being in-shape has a higher ROI than designer clothes.
A $9 form-fitting V-Neck makes you look better than a big fat guy in $200 Balmain T-Shirts.
Only doing the same 5 activities every day:

Man, Buddhist Monks are something else.
It's really crazy to remember that 2016 - 2017 was over half a decade ago.
Easy to see why older people get stuck in the past or recall events from 30 years ago "like it was yesterday."
Low-end bell curve:
Living with family because it's cheap, everyone works together, and that's your social life.
Middle:
Buying a house to prove you've made it.
High-end:

Brazilian men who live in the equivalent of a small backyard toolshed and make $40 per week, get drunk and have sex with multiple women per week.
Intellectual white collar knowledge workers make $250k/yr and can't get a single date.
Here's a useful tip for buying clothes:
Calculate the Price Per Wear.
Most people overspend on items they only use once or twice a year.
This let's you do the opposite.
If you're wearing it regularly, invest in something high-quality.
Fun fact: Only 3% of YouTubers make over $12,500 per year.
Number is similar for all other web platforms too.
Getting a McDonald's job instantly makes you more successful than 97% of Internet personalities.
One of the biggest social media influencers in the game has a word of advice: Get a real job.

Living in Asia and seeing what friends' nieces and nephews do in school has taught me one important fact.
Most children are naturally capable of working at an American high school or community college level by the time they're 11 or 12.
If you spend some free time researching money laundering through road construction or inefficient projects, it becomes very clear that politicians aren't as stupid as they appear.
In Boy Scouts, there was a dad who'd sometimes volunteer.
Regularly wore edgy, double entendre t-shirts "as a joke." Nothing too offensive, but parents got tired of it and asked him to leave.
Busted in a Chris Hansen-like sting years later.
Imagine your grandparents risked it all standing up to authority (civil rights, women's suffrage, etc) and you just want to comply with whatever Big Government tells you to do.
The teenage boys all love "laptop lifestyle" porn. But remember this.

> Product creation (courses and eBooks don't make themselves).
>Time investments.
> Monetary investments.
You're working a lot.
Retail / Restaurant is ONE MILLION times more stressful than almost any "high stakes" profession.
Abused by idiots, physical danger, low pay, and no downtime.
If you’re a normal, decent person, you might not understand how HARD being a waiter or barista is. You’re thinking what’s the problem. Well yes that would be true until you hit scale and deal with a lot of nasties berating you and being entitled. These aren’t easy jobs.
Reading "The Little Book Of Market Wizards."
Most millionaires and billionaires do not recommend buying "how to make money" courses
Why?
Your success comes from optimizing your personality and behaviors. Blindly copying another person's actions is a recipe for disaster.
Very obvious US Gov and their cronies haven't faced actual opposition in decades.
Top brass across multiple western governments flabbergasted at how trucks work.
I will never get over this.
Slash the tires and drain the fuel tanks.
I’m not offended by the lack of morality.
The sheer stupidity is remarkable.
This tweet is a work of art.
One of my Chinese friends makes his son do 100 push-ups and 100 sit-ups every morning before school.
They practice speaking English the whole time.
His son is eight.
Two levels of financial security:
"Gucci belt. Guys, I'm successful. I bought a Gucci belt. Be sure to get my belt in the picture, it's expensive."
"Oh, I just do a little of this and that. It's not too exciting, tell me more about yourself."
Going out with a girl for the first time and you ask her what her hobbies are.
She lists every single niche interest you've ever posted on Twitter and instead of being elated, you break out in a cold sweat - thinking this is some kind of elaborate troll job.
If you're:
> Reading
> Lifting weights
> Investing in yourself
And....
> Cultivating a winning mindset
You're crushing the competition.
^ Great meme because these are all standard things average people do. Always gets a good response since it makes everyone feel superior.
Two easy ways to spot a liar:
1. They overextend themselves, adding unnecessary details and elongating their answer.
2. Use of convincing statements ("I'm an honest guy," "I just want to help") in hopes of nullifying suspicion.
Way back in May, I told all the relatives that they're welcome to visit me. But I'm not returning to the USA until 2025.
Big psy-ops for the coming election.
"Mmmmhmm..."
Got several texts this week about masks coming back, followed by "I guess you were right!"
Social media really brings out everyone's inherent need to brag.
This evening, the man who secretly runs the world couldn't stop himself from reminding everyone he exists.
Actual white supremacists (not Larry Elder and Nicki Minaj) and communists share the same psychology.
Both fantasize about violent revolution where all of society is completely rerouted just so that they're no longer a loser.
Seven business models:

6. Status (Gucci).
7. Create personal meaning (religion).

Being a successful high school / college athlete is a better life experience than being a millionaire or billionaire.
And turbonerds who eventually become rich were uncool for so long that they can never escape the incel zone. No matter how hard they try.
80 IQ guy who gets drunk every weekend has an infinitely higher quality of life than any 115+ Subhuman Brainnoid with "tasteful banter" and "relevant insights."
Sam Hyde once said "Is your parents watching Fox News / CNN so unbearable that you need to pay $1,200 a month in rent?"
Same goes for most city life.
Unless you are going out all the time or have a clear path to the top, you're paying an awful lot for subpar amenities.
Everyone wants to live in the same places as everyone else. 🏡 go up and people claim it’s a crisis.
Plenty of affording housing if you’re willing to deal with a midwestern winter and small town life.

One of the richest men in the world, who completely pillaged his own country.
The “whites” in SA have been there longer a majority of the “blacks.”
Americans can only see skin color. In fact there was a huge surge of immigration into SA during the apartheid era.
Most of the vile racists in that video aren’t even ancestral natives to SA.
Unpopular opinion:
Many businesses or "financial freedom" plans promoted on here pay less (after time and effort) than just getting a normal job.
Not to mention the razor thin success rate.
Rule of thumb, the more successful you are within the system, the more you buy into the mainstream narrative.
It's worked for you up until now, why question it?
Further people are from DC or even a elite social circle, more likely they fall for stuff like “tha deep state didn’t take real vaccine.”
Friends, they aren’t acting. They fell for all of the hysteria. It’s not pretend. They watch CNN and believe it all.
There was a year where I Skyped with family for Thanksgiving.
Older, college educated relative asked if there was electricity in my country (while we Skyped).
"Yes."
