But, but, but, the republicans have told Americans that its all just a matter of hard work. That, the difference between multi-millionaires/billionaires, is just a lack of hard work and that anyone can become that filthy rich it in America if they just pick themselves up by their bootstraps. Clearly, if you dont become filthy rich, its all the individuals fault. You're so silly.
Almost anyone
can get rich in the United States if they follow some simple steps.
1. Graduate high School
2. Don't get pregnant or get a girl pregnant in your teens.
3. Get a job. It doesn't even have to be a high paying job.
4. Invest 10% to 20% of your income in a total stock market index fund. Start doing this as soon as you get a job.
5. Live beneath your means. Don't wast money on shit you don't need.
6. Don't get divorced and lose half your net worth.
7. Wait for for the effects of compound interest.
8. You're rich.
The problem is that many parents and teachers don't teach kids this. You don't need to be super smart, or go to college, or get a high paying job. Understand how money works. Buy assets. Profit.
