Chapters

It's interesting that you're making $150,000 a month, and your buddy who's making $3,000 a month is telling you to get a real job so they can have a whole career.
Yeah, but you got to understand, if they admit that's not how it was, then they would have to go against everything they learned. They'd have to unlearn. They went to college. They got the job. They're climbing the corporate ladder. They have to go against all that. I never understood it like they understood that ladder. They wanted good grades. I didn't care about grades. I'm like, how do I pass? With minimum effort. I wasn't trying to solve an English problem. I was trying to solve a money problem. But I think this is where people get caught up. They get worried about mom and dad. The truth is, I've the sense of, I am the one to fix this problem for my family, my generation, forever. I don't do it. You know, 100, 200, 500 years from now, hopefully someone could look at whatever these sites are and say, hey, this is the guy. This is the crazy one in the family that changed the trajectory of financial literacy in their life.
