25M Americans under 35 are still living with their parents. The highest number ever.
As someone who has employed hundreds of people over the years, I can tell you that employees who lived with their parents have consistently been underperformers, less reliable, less mature, and less motivated than people who lived on their own.
I never wanted a regular life. I always wanted to be successful. Even when I was broke, I always knew it was temporary. I never accepted my current situation and always looked for a way up. I never got comfortable being uncomfortable. And when my other businesses failed, I never lost my enthusiasm to find a new business.
Optimism is my superpower.
