Meh. I'm doing pretty well compared to most, thank you.

yeah there is definitely a movement by some people to trash living pretty well (and better than 70-90% of people)

however, i will say that there is a huge population of people in that "living pretty well" range who have a culture that i despise as well

a lot of this is just knowing yourself and what you want and figuring out how to carve that out. the problem with that second group is they don't do that really. they just try to acquire all the upper middle class tokens that they can (sometimes going into major debt to do it)

i have a lot more respect for the "hustler" people killing themselves for husling, even if they fail, even though i know that's not really for me (right now, at least).

Gary V’s definition of “super successful” is being one of the most powerful and wealthiest people in any room they walk in

Problem is, if EVERYONE followed Gary V’s advice, it wouldn’t work

Striving for that probably works better than not doing so.

I respect the hell out of anyone trying to better their lot in life.

The problem I have with a lot of the "hustlers" is that they never STFU about how they are "hustling"

which generally makes me think that they are nowhere near as successful as they project and are probably in massive debt

The true hustler and the blowhard don't always overlap. They sometimes do, but not always.

That goes so against our modern, easy money, not having to work world we live in.

Life coaches are the biggest losers in the world.

That lady with the "What if you die at 25?"-BS is missing the point.

The snake-oil salesman didn't say anything about being bringing a half-arse luck skills to the table. He never told anybody to drop dead in their 20's. He didn't recommend catching cancer. He said work.
