Are the odds stacked against the average man if he wants to become rich

[Trainwreck]

It seems like the only thing you can do to become at least well off is sales, decent job, and some medical professions. Other than that, it seems like it requires a lot of backend or some foundation to even put you in the position of being able to make money.

Are the odds against being in the point one percentile? Yes, namely one in one thousand. Get to work.

even if you don't get wealthy the key is pay yourself first. Invest 10% of everything you earn, The miracle of compounding will do the rest. When you are ready to retire you will have a nice nest egg. Just becasue you don't bring home a 6 figure income is no excuse to not prosper.

Your goal shouldn't be to become "rich", your goal should be to offer VALUE to society. If you offer something of USE to the world, you'll get all the money and all the girls you can possibly handle.

Saving is ok but more that that, increase your earning potential. Let people come to you, be specialized in something that no one else can do. You'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

I'd rather make more money than Spartan my life away until I'm more prone to cancer, arthritis, and etc.

offering something of value requires money unless I'm a professional athlete.

Good **** has value. Just saying...

So does "being real" aka not putting up with their bull**** and not treating them like princesses.

Compounding what? This isn't 1975. Banks don't pay 10% anymore. What investment are you referring to?

No, he means have skills. Can you make a pizza from scratch? Can you repair cars? Can you heal sick people with herbs? Can you create apps? Thing like that. Women are turned on by skills they think are valuable.

Both are true.

Treat her like a princess when she behaves ideally, and don't put up with her bullsh!t when she is less than ideal. Never argue, complain or explain. Just use absence when she isn't ideal and treat her like a princess the rest of the time. You will literally train her to be a princess.

the main problem in this world is that everything is red taped

setting up & running a basic business is a lot harder than it needs to be because the powers that be, realise they dont want every average joe getting rich

who would then oil the wheels of society ? , who would take part in the rat race everyday ? who would honestly pay they're taxes without someone breathing down they're necks

getting into property development / renovation is a lot harder than it should be I.E you need permission from the bank/ government / local authority to do pretty much anything

finance packages & credit cards are offered at the drop of a hat ? WHY ? well because credit agreements act like shock collars

you need a job to earn x,y & z to be able to pay monthly for the car/watch holiday you bought 7 years ago

and if you dont/ cant pay then we will take court judgements out against you ruin your "credit Rating" send debt collectors and ensure its virtually impossible for you to ever purchase any big ticket item ever again

you want to get rich quick in this world ?

sell drugs

yes its got multiple occupational hazards , but its literally the only job you can do were you arent restricted in what you can earn or how you earn it

i have NEVER met an unhappy drug dealer

even if you were to get caught in most cases first offences will barely see jail time with a good barrister and clean record

food for thought

To start flipping houses, you need roughly $35,000, a hard money lender, and to know what you're doing.

In Florida, drug trafficking is minimum mandatory 3 years, even for first time offenders, and a $50,000 fine. I do believe drug dealers and heavy drug users are rotting on the inside.

And by the way, that's the MAIN PROBLEM in the WHOLE WORLD?

What about the collapse of Western Civilization, psychotic Arab terrorists, and crazy North Korean dictators just to name a few. Oh yea, and HIV, poverty, etc.

Unfortunately that's how a lot of average Joes break the red tape or some other illecit activity. Further down the road they'll provide gray advice to the public on how they made it.

35k--more like 100k to actually do something. Most people don't have the income to pay two full mortgages when getting started. Western society is just bending to capitalism, something y'all right wingers worship the **** out of.
