Most people are not even able to accumulate any capital while paying bills. If you‘re not in the fortunate position of a collage education or similar, you‘re pretty fucked.
Even with a college education, you’re usually fucked.
Most people talking about how to become multimillionaires have the benefit of generational wealth. Even if they’re not directly dipping in to family funds, it’s a support system that us poors don’t have.
Always have to link this comic when generational wealth comes up.
Personally I know that I'm one of the ones who lucked out. My family wasn't rich but we didn't struggle. I'd like that to be the minimum experience for everybody.
Tell me about it. Grew up poor, kicked out of school due to undiagnosed neurological stuff.
I did manage to build a company out of thin air (and working 16 hrs a day). Then covid happened. I‘m rather gonna starve than go back an suck corpo cock.
