The algebra of wealth is the following. Find your talent, focus, workshop your 20s, in an industry that will pay you. Once you have a certain amount of momentum professionally, really trying to develop a savings muscle, wealth isn't about how much make, it's about how much you spend. Trying to just get to the point at a fairly early stage where you spend less than you make, that is very difficult. The brightest companies and minds in the world are all here to convince you that an upgrade from economy to economy comfort to economy plus to business classes and investment in yourself. No, it's not. It's consumption. Don't try and impress other people with your shit. No one's as concerned with your shit as you are. You don't need to order a bottle of vodka, a club for 450 bucks, get a Hyundai for God's sakes, travel coach, save money, start saving money early. Lean in if you're young, lean into your advantage and that as you have a lot of time, develop that savings muscle. Diversify the moment you have any real capital, start diversifying that way, no matter what happens. You have Kevlar, you can have a stock of zero and a bullet hits you in the chest, it doesn't kill you because you're diversified and then take advantage of fluff of fluff on the species and that's time and recognize that time will go faster than you think. And if you're just a little bit of discipline, a little bit of maturity, a little bit of that savings muscle early, that the S&P is up 11% a year since 2008. Well, that sounds boring. Now, that means every 21 years, your investments are up 8x.
