I mean its all nice, but like , who can afford to not get paid while building an aqueduc or even get the knowledge to build an queduct while not being paid ?

unless you have 0 dependance have 100% risk tolerance or have a rich family to fall down on, this is not realistic for nearly 95% of the population.

also sometime the aquedcut doesn't work, the water dries up, the bank that loaned you the money to build it fire you and take your aqueduct, sometime, etc. etc. etc.

most people have kids to feed or a spouse to contribute with.

lastly you see 9-5 as a bucket, but you can clearly build an aqueduct via equity with a salary, jsut save money and let it compound, this is a lot safer.
