    Feels Like I'm Doing Things Right But... One Year No Results

    MINDSET 
    I feel the exact same way. Maybe I'm wrong but I think this is how it's supposed to feel. It's all bout the long term. What you have done is put the odds of long term success in your favor. I say keep going. Keep improving. Keep striving for your goals. It may take longer than you think.

    Reality Check Needed by FL

    Easy. You do both. Work a job. Do your side hustles. Grow that to where you can quit your job and do that full time.

    Quit now, get a job, and why bother. Everything is luck.

    First you say this: Then you back it up with this: That's got to be the weakest argument I've ever seen. You say it's genetics but have no clue how genetics works or what genes those guys had. You created a fantasy out of thin air with zero proof. You single out Buffett and Rockefeller yet...

    Can you give some examples of how some of those people I listed got lucky? Genetically? or through their circumstances? It seems to me that everyone I listed had different circumstances and different genes just like everyone else.

    I don't know man. It sounds like to me you've jumped around too much too quick. From MLM to T-shirts to crypto to real estate to stock broker all in a few years. How can you expect to become good, let alone get rich, in all of these things within a few months? You said it yourself the...

    Suggestion: Like / Dislike / Sad / Happy / Funny / Etc reaction buttons for posts

    I have never done this because what if someone posts something valuable one day? Or someone replies to them with something valuable? I figure if I want to ignore them I can just click off the thread. If I could dislike them and then click off the thread that would be even better lol.

    Suggestion: Like / Dislike / Sad / Happy / Funny / Etc reaction buttons for posts

    I also vote for a dislike button. There are posts that I think are bad but don't want to bother wasting my time criticizing them or dismantle the thread topic with my comments. A simple dislike would be nice. It shouldn't take away rep because people will spam it and bad comments are still...

    How to convince my slowlane parents to accept my fastlane ideas?!

    IDEA SLOWLANE 
    There's only one way to get them to accept fastlane ideas... Start making money and supporting yourself off of it. Until that happens it's all a wonderful fairy tale in their eyes and they will try to knock you back down to reality, which is understandable. Try telling someone your dream is...

    GET TO COLLEGE! (Because I failed at business.)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Okay Mr. Statistician. You never talked about the biases I pointed out. Please explain why those biases don't matter in your statistical analysis. I've personally learned more about economics on my own than in my college courses. They didn't even tell me there were different schools of...

    I'm 29 Years Old With Nearly $1,000,000 In Debt!

    RANT 
    Students loans are backed by the gov't and can't be bankrupted out of so they will give you all you want. Home loans have the home as collateral. Car loans have the car as collateral. The personal loans and credit cards are what I don't understand. Maybe he got a bunch of credit cards with...

    I'm 29 Years Old With Nearly $1,000,000 In Debt!

    RANT 
    The interest alone is killer: $335k student loans at 5% interest= $16,750 $136k credit cards at 20% interest= $27,200 $80k in personal and car loans at 5% interest= $4,000 Not including the house they are probably paying at least $37,000 just in interest every year. That's a good chunk of change.

    GET TO COLLEGE! (Because I failed at business.)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    You aren't understanding. There are clear biases with these stats. The people who are trying to succeed in life are more likely to go further in their education than others since that's what everyone says leads to success. People who don't care about success won't go farther in school. Also...

    How can someone work every waking hour???

    HOT! 
    Walmart employs 2.1 million people. Let's say the average worker puts in 30 hours per week. That means the Walton family gets 63 MILLION hours worth of work done in ONE WEEK. I'm not sure how many lifetimes that is but delegation is key. Nobody can do it all themselves.

    Why is everyone forcing me to get good grades and saying I won’t be successful otherwise?

    RANT 
    I hate this whole post. Especially that last sentence. Such a negative, unhelpful remark that has nothing to prove or disprove it. Isn't just being on this forum, and striving for the fastlane, the exception to the rule?

    RANT 
    I agree with the idea that if you slack off in one thing it can lead to slacking off in another thing, but I think you guys use it too often and with no regard of circumstances. What if he was working so hard on a business that his grades slipped? This happened to a ton of famous entrepreneurs...
