@JardinsSteve And I started late. 10 years earlier; the work one would increase to ~200k and the personals number would be double that double. Or 4x.
AND if i didnt waste time on college I wouldve made more, and saved 10s of thousands in student loans as well.
@JardinsSteve They're called idiots, yes.
And those are called crooks, yes.
Just, do the math for 40 years.
For me: 160k total put in ~180k by that time. That's just the work-provided one.
Personal is half that, soon going for double once debt is clear; student and medical.
Its possible.
Classic 1980s debate moment.
A woman in hijab passionately challenges Rabbi Meir Kahane: “How can you have no compassion for the Arab people?” invoking Hitler and Palestinian suffering.
Kahane’s calm, piercing response cuts through:
“You had an opportunity for your own state in 1948. The UN proposed partition plan which would have created a Palestine and an Israel. You went to war. You killed 6,000 of our people. ’56, another war. ’67, another war. ’73, another war. I don’t trust you. I don’t believe you. When I’m attacked and I win and you lose, and you’re the one that started it, learn one thing… you take the consequences of your actions.”
Raw, unfiltered truth about repeated rejection of peace and the cost of starting wars.
No slogans. Just history.
Powerful then. Powerful now.
“Colored people are like human weeds and need to be exterminated”
- Margaret Sanger
“I admire Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision…”
- Hillary Clinton
Sanger created what eventually became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The group that has aborted millions of black babies.
@ItsLulu_7 I know it feels daunting in your 20s. I felt the same way but I ignored it, pushed through it. Worked many jobs, some to survive, its okay to do so. Just have a plan, always stay hustling. Its called THE GRIND for a reason. Now im 33, own my car, home soon. Everything is around u
@ItsLulu_7 I have wealth I earned performing labor at an agreed rate in a growing industry where my skills are not only needed, but costing more due to competition in the market.
If you work and develop a skill for just a few years, youre set for life.
Then dont stop. Grow with the world.
