A lot of these "hard working people" ....

Spend literally hours on the Internet arguing and looking at nonsense.....save that time for when you have made it.

While there are some hard working people there are also quite a few lazy and dumb people.

A lot of people had the chance to start a business on weekends or go to night school to further themselves.

100% guarantee if I had to start over I would become wealthy again within 10 years.
