    Also having been born into generational wealth and exploiting the finance system - that’s the most famous rich-people-hobby.

    The actual bullshit message behind this:

    A rich person is a good person and a smart person.

    In posted this, so I am signaling to you that I am a good and smart person that will be rich if I’m not already.

    Obviously the #1 life goal of all people is to be rich, so you should all be like me, and you should be ashamed when you take time to enjoy existence.

    (Disclaimer: I’m not shitting on people who enjoy or find fulfillment in their job or their business)

    Job is not my hobby, job is how I pay for my hobbies.

    Also I wish learning got me rich. Unfortunately I don’t bother learning stuff that makes money. I am however shockingly educated on certain subcultural histories.

      …but you do need to be rich-enough to afford time not spent preparing for work, working, nor recovering from work…

    It’s amazing how hourly workers brainwashed themselves into believing that they’re entrepreneurs.

    They really believe the nonsense that bro podcasters sell them.

    They’ll be 40 in an hourly retail position wondering where everything went wrong.

    I made the comment that rent should be tax deductible, just like a mortgage, and some rise and grind boot licking doofus said “you can if you run a home business.” First of all, do you need to run a home business in a home you own to write off your mortgage? No Secondly, not everyone in the country can run a home business. Imagine the chaos.

    Serious question. What is “invest in mentors”? I can’t figure this one out. Like you pay people to mentor you?

      Mentors can be a legitimately good way to progress your career; but 100% of the online mentoring services are bullshit.

      Like, for anyone salaried in a corporate environment; pick someone ~3 rings higher than you on the ladder in a seperate department (e.g. Team Lead, Department Head, VP, GM etc.).

      They will be familiar enough with the business to provide useful guidance, helping you build up not only your skillset but your professional network. Because, the dirty secret is - after a certain point, it’s not necessarily what you know - it who you know.
