    You’re the one who makes the claim:

    If you work hard and become a professional you can make 100-120k in your 30s. Maybe as much as 150 if you get lucky. Those jobs exist in places where rent is 50% take home and ownership is completely off the table.

    what you wrote could only be said by a total imbecile

    Where did I say that?

    Only a total imbecile has no idea that he’s talking to someone else when user names and profile pictures are prominently on display.

      You’re right. I fumbled.

      how many people get rich by hard work

      0%

      Now tell me where you’ve got this number from.

        From the 0% of the population that get rich by hard work.

          Discipline and consistency. These two factors working together will beat out a high-paying job, an inheritance and luck every time. Only a small percentage of millionaires received an inheritance, while the majority built their wealth through hard work

            An opinion piece is not a source. Where did they come by this data? Following the links only takes this far: https://cdn.ramseysolutions.net/media/company/pr/everyday-millionaires-research/national-study-of-millionaire-new.pdf

            Which 1) Indicates it was a survey. I’m sure millionaires like to believe, and have other believe, they made it all themselves but that’s hardly scientific. They conveniently forget things like daddy paying to get them into a fancy school and giving them a cushy position in a business they own.
            and 2) doesn’t share the study or methodology in any way. It is impossible to check their work.

            So we just have the word of a company that wants your money saying “trust me.” They also have a bridge they would like to sell you.

                For someone who doesn’t fucking care you’ve sure been posting a lot of nonsense.

                    And you wonder why I’m not wasting my time finding a source for you. You sure sound like a reasonable person that would actually listen to an opposing view point.
