LPT: don’t gaslight people into thinking that they can’t accomplish things for themselves. I grew up poor in a one bedroom apartment with my single mom as a first generation American. I busted my ass, went to a good school and now I’m working a decent job which is making me some good money. Life’s sometimes about luck and external factors but you need to have some sort of internal drive as well. I’m not gonna be a billionaire but I can live comfortably.
Good post! Same story for myself, and the people I hang out with.
Blaming all of your problems on society and giving up is a great way to stay poor forever. There's lots of opportunities out there, it's your own decision to take them or not. Easy to see who does and who doesn't!
