No, he was 34 years old when he wrote this points. There are good points nonetheless. Not everything is money but there are definitely things here that you can apply to your social life as well.

How do you know his advice is durable and yields a success that’s anything more than a momentary excitement? His “social life advice” can’t be evaluated until his life has been lived. Are his friends transactional? Does his advice only hold if you have something others want from you? Taking advice on life from a 34 year old is taking advice from someone who hasn’t lived life yet. They might have some hot take tips and they might even have good advice about how to tactically achieve certain goals. But their advice comes with no actual wisdom, no actual analysis of things from a longer perspective of having done things, seen the results, and observed the consequences over time. They can’t, because experience isn’t innate, it isn’t a skill, it is only earned with time and reflection. Perhaps he’s reflecting, and that’s wonderful. And I’ll be happy to read his advice in 30 years and compare it against mine. But the young taking the advice of the young is the blind leading the blind.
