• I’ve met many people of many different nations of many different levels of wealth and success. Every single one of them in a shit scenario got their by choices they made.

    Why don’t I take those options? Cos I can read the statistics on everyone before me, I paid attention in school, I realised that drugs, debt, gambling, criminal behaviour etc don’t improve my life. I chose an education path and career that make it impossible for me to end up a brokie loser

      Lots of people don’t have access to any of the information sources you had, or the ability to take any of the options you did.

      You had plenty of good options, and you chose from those. Some people only have bad options. They pick bad options, because that’s all they have.
