It's not "parents money".
It's not luck.
It's persistence. It's grit. It's discipline.
I wake up every morning and grind to live this lifestyle.
This is so devastating. Imagine being a black parent tonight. How do you protect your children? If they go out and stab just one person, they might go to prison. It’s like a black man in America can’t even murder anyone anymore. Unimaginable. Jim Crow all over again. I’m furious.
The cases differ on facts and evidence.
Kyle Rittenhouse was chased, hit with a skateboard, and had a gun pointed at him while fleeing. Multiple videos showed clear imminent deadly threats. Jury acquitted on self-defense.
Karmelo Anthony entered a rival team's tent, was asked to leave repeatedly, said "touch me and see what happens," then stabbed Austin Metcalf in the chest after a shove. Jury rejected self-defense, convicted of murder.
Distinguishing them requires no soul-searching—just facts over race narratives.
Guy I went to college with sells insurance
Thought he had a boring business
Just found out he makes $400k a year take home
Works 9-3
Takes most Fridays off to golf with clients
He's on year 7 of his own business
Maybe boring wins
Why aren’t more people doing this?
Listen to me carefully, bro.
When men hit their 40s and look back at their 20s, a lot of them realize the same uncomfortable truth.
The small habits you ignore in your twenties quietly turn into huge consequences later.
First thing is your body.
Skipping workouts, eating like garbage, drinking every weekend, and sleeping like shit feels harmless when you are 23.
Your body recovers fast, so you think you are invincible.
Then you hit your late thirties and suddenly the back pain shows up, the belly appears, and energy drops like a damn rock.
Second thing is money.
A lot of guys in their twenties treat money like something that will magically sort itself out later.
They waste years partying, buying useless crap, and ignoring investing or skill building.
Then their forties arrive and they realize time was the real asset they wasted.
Third thing is discipline.
Your twenties are where your habits become your identity.
If you train yourself to be lazy, distracted, and addicted to easy dopamine like porn, junk food, and endless scrolling, that pattern follows you for decades.
But if you train yourself to work hard, stay fit, and think long term, those habits compound like crazy.
Fourth thing is who you keep around you.
Friends who waste time, complain, and live with zero direction will slowly pull you into the same mindset.
Strong men build circles with people who push them forward instead of dragging them down.
By the time a man reaches his forties, he realizes one brutal truth.
Your life at that age is mostly the result of the decisions you made in your twenties.
So the real wisdom for a young man is simple.
Treat your twenties like construction years, because the life you live later will be built on the choices you make right now.
i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
