“Anyone who had/has rich parents”.
Worked my ass off moving up through food industry - from retail to operations manager of a manufacturing plant.
Didn’t get rich until my folks gave me a 6-figure loan to start my own business, with an interest rate so low+generous it was basically free money. That enabled us to take risks in the first 2 years that we never would have attempted otherwise. Some of those paid off.
Hell I wouldn’t have been able to grind out 65+hr weeks in my mid-twenties getting experience if I didn’t have such a great support system, largely enabled due to not having to truly worry about bills or food until I “got on my own feet”.
Yeah, I put work in. But I could’ve done the exact same amount of effort and made many times less money, essentially guaranteed if not for randomly being born to the right situation.
Behind every early retired person is someone who gave them some kind of resource most others likely will never have access to.
6 figure salary and still on Lemmy 😂
Is Lemmy just for poor people?
Lemmy’s primary demographic is like, developers/engineers who get paid enough to spend most of the day doing shit other than work and still live comfortably. (And Redditors that decided they were too cool for closed-source corporate malware.)
To be fair, this is not correct, instead the last one should read “any kid who had rich parents”
Can confirm. Am pretty smart, have wealthy parents, slept walked into well paying job after years of depression/inactivity because I had a safety net that meant I didn’t need to slave away at a minimum wage job to avoid destitution.
Copium
psst. you’re the one coping.
No a reality . I have a very conformable situation due to my family and I can confirm I will never make more money in my life that whaty heritage will. That s fucking sad
