At what Age did you Realize you're NEVER going to be Well-Off or even Upper Middle Class, you're just AVERAGE at Best?

average at best in 2022 is a great place to be. We have created a society where an ordinary life is not good enough.

In 2022 You will be able to get a good car, a bath every night, a roof over your head and nourishing food but somehow we have convinced ourselves that’s that not good enough.

Most of us are fated to be ordinary and that’s ok.

I got lucky (some wealthy family members, like real wealth, 10s of millions), so I’ve been able get into real estate by flipping houses. But when I was in my late 20s, (I’m in my mid 30s now), I was feeling hopeless, and thought I’d never have a million dollar home, Rovers, etc. I got all that now, but I say that to say, shyt can change in an instant. Stay diligent, you never know when shyt could change.

Don’t be like that. You don’t know what some brehs are going through mentally to say some shyt like this. If you ain’t here to enlighten and uplift what are you here for.


I am trying to uplift and enlighten. That is Absolutely the wrong mindset to even have. If you think you have already hit you are earning potential you’re limiting yourself.

70k is a goal for me to reach. 70k and single. idgaf about this internet “6 figure,” “high value man” trend most of these loudmouths are broke or living off fast money that can be taken back away just as quickly. they’re just hype and you can tell they’ve never had money or stability before, just gonna blow the whole shyt on food and vacay. being wealthy is a mindset imo more than anything

nothing wrong with 9-5. just leave a little for spending then rest for saving/401k. there’s nothing wrong with being normal, people just love to lie and flex on the internet. you’re probably doing good. just handle what’s in your control rn.

The race is not for the swift but a test of endurance. Your perceptual filters decide what you let in, what you process, what you action. Know what sets them? Your mindset.

Thats why two people can look at the same thing and one can take it from nothing to a million whereas the other started with zilch and often has most of it left as they look for another to blame for their missteps.

Aside from that you should never accept an outer definition of "success". That makes no sense. Invest in your own paradigm and thus you'll avoid the imposter syndrome slash "Is this it?" thinking that plagues many who like to sell and tell the image they've made it. Best believe they'll never say it but in a million quiet ways they display it as the mask slips on the life they invested in for the wrong kind of dividends.

The keys to really getting ahead

1) Stay disciplined and do not spend unnecessarily (live within your means)
2) Pay off your debts
3) Save and invest
4) Push yourself professionally to do more, be better, be more invaluable
5) Expand your circle to include successful ppl

^^^ Spoken from personal experience

Change it. You can literally change your entire life in 1-2 years.
Seriously. This is the most amazing time to be alive. A lot of shortcuts and new pathways have been created. The internet has changed the game. People can change their lives quickly nowadays. It takes a lot of work and extreme focus, but it can be done!!

I’m at my peak right now honestly, not trying to brag at all I am fortunate to have a whole lot to show for my life in 37 years. Good family, good money right now, just hope the economy can hold up long enough for me to get completely out of debt :wow:

Someday? Someday my dream will come? One night you will wake up and discover it never happened. It's all turned around on you. It never will. Suddenly you are old. Didn't happen, and it never will, because you were never going to do it anyway. You'll push it into memory and then zone out, being hypnotized by social media for the rest of your life.
