Oh no... At 57 years old I learned in 1988 or so when all the High Roller Crack Dealers were running roughshod over my neighborhood and every neighborhood just like it. They were even outdoing the traditional street hustlers that were known to have lots of money. Thing is.. Like Real Estate, I wasn't willing to do what they were doing to get the money. I know my lane and that's technology. I didn't have any investing money when Y2K hit, but I did know it was a 'nothing burger' because all computers can do actually is count. Artificial Intelligence however... I'm already winning. #ashortstackassassin

Been working hard all my life never cared to hate the rich. Cause and effect who preached that narrative first. It's a blind leading the blind situation but the blame game never yields solutions. In this capitalistic society you can aim to be rich there's nothing wrong with that. When you do become rich as it says in the Bible you have certain responsibilities. Do yourself a favor and understand the means you have to be a better service at those below you. In short remember to always be humble and show your appreciation your own way not through some Red Cross.

No, you can hate (well, maybe more reflexively dislike) rich people. Because their value system of "wealth acquisition first" tends not to be aligned with the broader long term well being of humanity, and they tend to use their wealth to gain influence, and then to create said gamed system, which increases their wealth. It's a circular feedback, dislike all the parts.

At 29 I learned that this is a game. This was after my time in the Army. From that point on, I am learning how to make ad many streams of income as possible to be the best at this game. A life lesson I learned from the Army is "In this life you have 3 options (win, lose or quit)". So I choose to master this game of chess at every level I can. Thank God I learned this at a young age.

I used to tell my NCOs in the Army the same basic thing. Bravo. I love this man's posts even if it is somewhat of an echo chanber because I agree with him on so many issues.

I agree with you because I am tired of doing soo many good things for little to no financial benefits soo far.

This, based on experience, is true. Very clear and concise articulation of "the game".

Facts! It’s not about hating the player, it’s about fixing the game. The system’s rigged, and it’s our job to build that ladder back up. Let’s lift each other up so everyone gets a shot at the top.

Exciting!. Your organization is the right type to push and fight Social Security reducing without warning or justification the meager pay of elderly. They do not inform or advise but only use their brutal methods of abusing the elderly. Please investigate and you will find out and maybe help. Thanks
