This young lady just gave yall the formula.... which is basically... good income, and living below your means..... That's the easiest way to save money, and have capital for good investments and business opportunities....


No she didn't... She lives a life of scarcity and is timid. These are the kind of people you sell safe investments with low ass yields to....

I believe in abundance not living below your means....that same discipline can be used to generate more money so you live at the lifestyle you REALLY desire.

Not penny pinching into your 60s....when inflation will devalue all your sh!t

What college teaches you to tap into your "natural" talent and ability?
I think a good guidance counselor can find what you're passionate about and put you in the direction to monetize it. I'm not a guidance counselor but I can tell you're an opinionated smart ass that likes to write. If I was to suggest a way for you to monetize your passion I would tell you to start your own blog/youtube channel and use Facebook ads to bring traffic towards it. Your quick witted opinions would find an audience if your stance was consistent and you tapped in to either politics or current events. Perez Hilton is a multi-millionaire just by giving his opinion. The internet is here for me and you.

I did but you can't take her lifestyle choices as a blueprint, she wants a comfortable secure life ....sustenance not geometric growth


I don't have a career, spouse or seed...
Security makes me risk averse and I'm GMB
I have interns, partners and they have their businesses though

I feel ya...... but the reality is, if you're coming from nothing... chances are you're not gonna hit that mark until you're 40 plus,,,, and that's being generous in these economic times...

I know that's why I said Anybody could hoard their entire life and live far below their means, and became a "millionaire" worth $1-2m by 70. These people are not the "successful" millionaires people want to be they are paycheck hoarders.

The chances of someone going from nothing to rich is getting struck by lightning slim. The majority of rich people were already born into some sort of wealth and had connections to begin with....and even then they had to have major hustle/entrepreneurship skills along with a solid work ethic...like on some no days off shyt...like Vince McMahon sleeping four hours at the most type shyt. That's the kind of grind and focus needed, and like someone already said, people on here who post on the coli often are already fukking off way too much to even think about getting at that level....but everyone swears they got that master foolproof plan :francis:
Bruh... stop thinking like that. Everyone can get rich. There is so much waste in this country. Just figure out how to get people to waste money with you.

I don't subscribe to this theory. I personally think most don't get rich because they don't acquire an education that will allow them to capitalize off of their talent and natural ability. In the hood we were never taught to pursue an education past high school. To this day I'm the only male from my neighborhood to get a college degree. I'm the only male in my family to get one as well.

Another reason most people remain in the conditions that they were born in is because they're taught to conform to a typical 9-5. Once again using me as an example, in high school all the older heads thought that getting a warehouse job was coming up. My first year out of high school I got multiple warehouse jobs and quit them all. I told myself that college could never be harder than that shyt and I went from being a 2.0 student in high school to being a 4.0 student in college.

I say all of that to say that people usually become stagnant/content because they become products of their environment and they don't pursue their dreams because they're taught to go the safe route which is a typical 9-5. Its so many dreamkillers out there that most just fall victim to the traps of drugs or alcohol which often kills ambition.

The game isn't designed for everyone to be up but more could be up if they actually knew how to monetize their passion and were bold enough to try it.
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.

So tell us your plan :jbhmm: In a capitalist society, I'd say it's definitely not possible for everyone to be able to get rich. Like I said, for some to win, most would have to lose. This is a country in which most of the working class is starting to hover above poverty. If wealth were that accessible, a whole lotta people would be way better off...

You don't need a guidance counselor unless you want to end up in the same position he's in.

Your passions are yours to discover, hone, develop and share/monetize. I'm not that passionate about the industries I'm in even though I like client acquisition ... Business just serves as a vehicle to fund my passions.

I'd hate to be a starving artist or force my passion to be my income.

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.
