>Get a shitty Toyota What if I have a shitty Toyota? >Sell the house As if I could afford a house, lol... >Pay off all your debt and student loans if you have any "Why are you so depressed? Just don't be sad, idiot!" >Ask your parents to help you out What if my parents are as broke as I am? >Go back to school if necessary And take on more debt that I'm supposed to pay off? >Laziness is your enemy My enemy is a system hijacked by the rich to smash and grab as many systems and institutions that are supposed to help poor people as possible. >Take advantage of your resources and network I have no money. All my friends are poor. If I didn't go to college, where am I supposed to find these rich friends to get me job references? If I can't afford to go to a bar or a simple restaurant, how am I supposed to spend time with anyone who could help me out? - I'm not actually the person above. But you must understand why people do not like these common tips you give. It is not because they are lazy, but because they do not have the escape hatches you have/had. They are angry that you think everyone has the luxury of getting a personal bailout from your family members, or that everyone owns a car like a BMW. I say this as someone in your own position. I have a good car, good apartment, parents who helped pay my student loans, and they even covered my lawyer fees when I tried to start my first LLC. I am in a luxurious position that millions of my fellow citizens would envy. Yes, of course my parents worked hard, they came to this country in 1999 with $0 in their pockets and worked their way up to managerial positions eventually being able to buy a house in a wonderful neighborhood with three (three!) non-beater cars. I like to think that I work hard. But the opportunities given to me by having good parents, a strong financial background, being in a calm, safe neighborhood, and especially having a pass-me-down car? Those were free. I didn't work for those. It was complete luck that I ended up with parents who gave me these things. Luck, not work. That's privilege.
