Denying yourself any semblance of joy and slaving away for 14 hours a day until your health is totally fucked - and he’s in his 20s! Oh but he scraped up an extra 60k.
That’s the craziest part. He knew exactly what to do to be successful and managed to only earn a basic middle class wage. Add anything else: significant debt, a partner to spend time with, addiction problems, mental issues, health issues, and you’re not going to have time for any of that.
Do these people who got lucky really think everyone else is just dumb? Yes, I could scour craigslist for free shit to resell but I have a life.
Also they claim to have done everything for themselves because for some reason they discount the huge loan they got from their parents. Assuming they even have to pay it back.
Even if they hadn’t had a loan, the security that the safety net of knowing that of all goes wrong, you can still go to mommy and daddy and have a perfectly fine life, is massively overlooked. Even here, where people are criticizing all sort of valid problems with his “experiment”, no one mentioned the he knew that he could stop whenever he wanted; so there was never any desperation that massively affect the mental wellbeing of poor people.
Have you ever read that quote comparing doing a startup to playing a game of chance at a carnival? Normal people can afford one or two throws at most, wealthy people can throw as many times as they want.
Find me someone who is a billionaire today and didn’t have a massive loan from parents when they were “starting out.” Everyone I can think of right now received a massive loan during the internet boom, family got them some extremely cushy contracts from businesses connections, or they got fistfuls of jewels from daddy’s apartheid emerald mine.
Must be a coincidence that you named one of the most empathetic billionaires who spends their time actually trying to help others. (He founded cost plus drugs, among other things.)
Lul is that what he did? I was wondering what he did to make that much money in so little time. Shit if I wanted to burn myself out I could earn that too working those hours.
0.064 million was so close to his goal of 1 million though. I bet the last two months would have really closed the gap. He only needed to double his money 4 times. /s
