Chapters
Rich people, they're usually like assholes. I mean, I come from Ukraine. My whole life, basically until the age of like 25, 26, I had this belief that rich people, they're usually like assholes. And the reason I had this belief was like, first, I mean, I didn't have entrepreneurs in my family. So the only reference points I knew that I wanted to make money because money was always a problem in my family. Yeah, I want to get rich. But subconsciously, I also didn't want to become rich because all of the people that doing well financially that I knew, that I saw, were indeed assholes. You know, back in Ukraine, it's like someone who starts making money, they usually overweight. They usually treat their wives and families like shit. Even like, you try to cross the street on the pedestrians, you know, they wouldn't stop. They wouldn't fucking stop. And there's many accidents, like they would hit people because they just don't give a fuck. And they drink and drive. Cop stops them, just pay the money, drive from there, like no problem.
