So my dad is in his mid-forties and semi-retired. He made most of his income by working 60+ hours a week at a chemical plant and purchasing real estate, which is now his passive income in retirement (1-2million in real estate value) He is staunchly conservative and complains constantly about the decline of work ethic, morals etc. in America
He recently said something to me that pissed me off, he said that he wonders how fast he could “claw his way to the top” if he started off “homeless”
It really convinces me that he thinks himself better or above everyone not in his same financial position.
He recently sent me a “budget” for how he would do it and what he could accumulate wealth-wise in a year. I am hoping Reddit can help me humble him a bit and add some reality to this “budget” of his. The “assumptions” at the top reeally piss me off. this man is not connected to reality at all.
tl;dr My dad thinks he could make it and “claw his way to the top as a homeless person and that he is better than them for it. Help me humble him
