I've been bankrupt, as in not a dime to my name, twice. That did not stop me.
Not saying everyone has to be an entrepreneur, not everyone is wired for the risk and dedication it entails. What I am recoiling against this this bullshit notion that there's a dirty inequality based solely on the amount of money someone makes or has. That is NOT the direct cause of poverty. It's pure nonsense. Comparing CEO salary to receptionist salary is nonsense. It's a victim mentality.
A friend of mine has a PhD in Physics and was working in aerospace. He did the math and determined he could not build wealth if he stayed on that path. He quit his aerospace job and started a non-tech business having nothing to do with his education. A truck driver could have started the same business. He failed. He dusted himself off and tried again. He now owns multi million dollar homes and has a pretty decent lives. Some if his aerospace "friends" resent him yet not one of them will quit their job to try and improve their lives.
Lack of education? $1,000 buys you a ticket to a number of countries where university education is free and the cost of living is super low.
No, the problem is having a victim mentality rather than being hell-bent to make it. It's easier.
