Disagree, it's never been easier. The country is awash in vast amounts of money, trying to find ways to be invested, to be spent. Access to information and resources is higher than it has ever been.
Sure, it's hard to just get by if you aren't out there hustling. The time of getting an average job with an average pension, which lets you buy a reasonable price house is over. The world is your oyster if you are willing to put in the time and have any ability to plan, organize, and work.
- pseudalopex 5y agoMost businesses fail. Why do you think that is?
- WalterBright 5y ago80% of businesses fail in 5 years. There are many reasons, but the usual ones revolve around things like not understanding accounting, not putting in the effort, etc. It's also true that many very successful people failed at business time after time before figuring it out. Fortunately, American culture doesn't look askance at people that fail at business and try again.
- pseudalopex 5y agoWhat percent of businesses fail because the owners don't understand accounting? What percent fail because they don't put in the effort? Where did you find this data?
- WalterBright 5y agoGoogle "why businesses fail" and there's a lot of information.
- treis 5y ago>The time of getting an average job with an average pension, which lets you buy a reasonable price house is over. Covid craziness aside, that's still true. You can't do it in California, or Seattle or NYC but outside of those areas it's easily obtainable. Most of these "homes were so cheap" anecdotes neglect to mention that you might be paying 18% interest on your cheap houses. Or they are talking about a place like NYC in the 70s. Yeah you could have gotten a house for a song in a bankrupt city suffering through the crack epidemic.
