Those people lacked drive, white hot burning desire and focus....


It's a lonely depressing road and no one believes in you so I can see why people get overwhelmed and quit. Making money is more fun than having it.
Wealth alienates family, friends and lovers but it also exposes their true nature.

There's a very very ugly side and in my case I lost my grandma because my aunt was more concerned with me paying her for care than her own mothers health.

Also lost another grandma in the same quarter due to family negligence ...so what's the point in having money if you cant save the ones you love ? When extended family sees you as nothing but an ATM ?

but this is just me and anecdotal, if you want money. Go get it, nothing can stop you except you. The perks are sweet but the pitfalls are too.

As far as the top part goes, people who have the actual drive to be rich are going to do so regardless of their level of education. School for the most part encourages most to be mindless drones as a sort of social conditioning, you simply either have the ambition or you don't. There are people with a shyt ton of nice degrees but have still only made it so far because they don't have enough drive and aren't willing to put in the time/sacrifice needed, nor take the risks. The bottom bolded part is the typical result of this country's education system. Besides, these people with exceptional drive and high ambitions already had them from a young age for real, I do agree that environment definitely does play a factor though. I don't see most who would want to become rich doing so if they already havent got a plan and shyt going by a certain time. Like someone who is already working a typical 9 to 5 while in their 20's and shyt isn't going to up and be well on the road to riches because by then, they've already subscribed to the every man's life too long. Another thing that definitely factors in that most will pretend doesn't matter, is luck. Luck is definitely involved because the road to riches is paved with broken down vehicles of people who thought they had it but missed their windows. It takes a special kind of person to make it from the bottom, and very few are able. This is also why capitalism is the way it is, as far as being wealthy, few win, most lose.

Some people start later.... Hell a lot of entrepreneurs get sick of drinking the corporate kool aid or having their ideas smacked down by committee of old directors.

And set out to start companies with a chip on their shoulder.


Shoot didn't Zara guy start in his 40s ?
If you wanna get money, as long as your brain works and you can communicate anything is possible.

This is true :ehh:

However, once again, these are also exceptional people who had the drive and balls most people don't do. They more than likely excelled at other things in life too. It's not for the average joe like some folks are trying to make it out to be....

I disagree. Right now at every Ivy League school in America there is a professor teaching someone that will eventually make at least 5x more than they do when they graduate.

Are those professors guidance counselors or degree educators ? Not every one have access to ivy league professors breh....

I did chemical engineering and my digital publishing/licensing profits in 2009 were over 10 times his annual salary. Had I followed his guidance, I'd be in a lab coat distillin sh!t under a cac for low pay.

That's almost like refusing to listen to a financial adviser that has less money than you do.

70% of wealthy families lose their wealth by the second generation, and a stunning 90% by the third, according to the Williams Group wealth consultancy.

Among wealth advisors, there is a saying: the first generation makes it, the second generation spends it, and the third generation blows it.
