There are very very few outliers that really made it from nothing. These are paraded around like a carrot infront of the masses and its nonsense.
If you are not allready born above average in terms of wealth theres a 99% chance that you will never get wealthy.
You can be a genius – excell at hs – Uni – your job. You will still never catch up to daddys boy that got a small loan of 500 000 Dollars to start his business. Whos grandfather owned 20 000 acres of Land and could catch his grandson if he failed. Who had all the right connections set up and had just to fall forward to be sucessfull.
People claiming all this can be achieved by working super hard are delusional. And gashlighting people that had it hard for not being economically sucessfull is even worse.
