    So I need to do your research for you? I thought mister “Provide an answer and educate yourself while researching it” would have, you know, researched it and would have a source for his bold claims.

        So you get to make bold claims without a source but everyone else needs a source when they point out that you’re full of shit. Got it.

            You’re the one who makes the claim:

            If you work hard and become a professional you can make 100-120k in your 30s. Maybe as much as 150 if you get lucky. Those jobs exist in places where rent is 50% take home and ownership is completely off the table.

            what you wrote could only be said by a total imbecile

            Where did I say that?

            Only a total imbecile has no idea that he’s talking to someone else when user names and profile pictures are prominently on display.

                    An opinion piece is not a source. Where did they come by this data? Following the links only takes this far: https://cdn.ramseysolutions.net/media/company/pr/everyday-millionaires-research/national-study-of-millionaire-new.pdf

                    Which 1) Indicates it was a survey. I’m sure millionaires like to believe, and have other believe, they made it all themselves but that’s hardly scientific. They conveniently forget things like daddy paying to get them into a fancy school and giving them a cushy position in a business they own.
                    and 2) doesn’t share the study or methodology in any way. It is impossible to check their work.

                    So we just have the word of a company that wants your money saying “trust me.” They also have a bridge they would like to sell you.
