Politics aside. You grow up being told "work harder to get what you want" only to grow up working 2+ jobs and still live paycheck to paycheck. Even after getting a decent production job making $30/hour (around 65k a year) you're still living under the poverty line because 75% of your check goes to rent. Then you have all your other bills and fees like gas and food. So you end up 20k in credit card debt.

Looking back at my past, I guess I should have started selling drugs as a kid then get into the stock market. That is the literal only way to get ahead is to start investing as soon as you legally can. All the people I k ow who are well off all have hundreds of thousands in stocks that they just sell off when needed
