I know it's fun to be envious of rich people, but I grew up in poverty, and so far I've earned myself 5 years to focus full time on my stuff. I know it's a little harder, maybe, but all I had to do was go to work first. Most people go to work anyway.
- _RPM 10y agoMaybe I did come off as envious, but I'm not angry, or sad, or feeling like I don't have opportunities to be a successful startup founder myself. It's just that you do often see a pattern among founders. It's so common that I've started noticing it. It's certainly not true that you have to come from a privileged family to be a successful entrepreneur. Look at examples like Larry Ellison.
