In this thread. Poor people that haven’t done anything with their lives removed. My brother and I grew up poor as shit. Homeless for a while, etc. My brother just moved back to our hometown to take care of our aging mother. He bought the largest house for sale in the center of town. Meanwhile I travel the Western US doing IT work. Owning my own company and employe others.
You can do so much. Even if you start out poor. Neither of us got any loans. Neither of us had any handouts. Neither of us come from privilege. But we are both comfortable because we did work our asses off, and we are smart enough to make the right decisions at the right time. I’ll never be rich. But I’m comfortable. My brother, he’s very well of and possibly may retire this year in his late 40s because of the decisions he’s made in his career.
So maybe just maybe instead of removed so much. Get off your fucking asses and do some shit.
I am happy with your achievement but being healthy to work a lot and being smart (having talent for IT for example) is also a kind of inborn privilege.

I didn’t have a talent for IT. I didn’t know shit about computers until I went to school and worked my ass off the past 20 years.
