  1. knowledge not backed up by a collage education is worthless in the eyes of employers.

  2. the entire point of this video was to show that those born into poverty are at a disadvantage when it comes to acquiring wealth. some people simply lack the time or money to invest in a better future, be it in a college education, stock market, etc.

  3. Zelus Amadeus I plan to do something similar. I would like to have a pet (a cat), but cats are relatively low maintenance. I don't plan to travel much, but I can still have fun. There is a paintball field 30 minutes away from where I live, and plenty of hiking trails less than an hour away. I also enjoy video games and movies, which can be enjoyed at home for free or close to it (assuming I put 80 hours into a game I bought for $40, that's 0.50 per hour of fun). Many movies can be streamed for free. A meal at a restaurant may cost upwards of $20, but I can make a balanced and tasty meal at home for less than $5. I do not plan on having children any time soon, if ever. I am passively searching for a significant other, but I make it clear to anyone who I have been with that children are an expense that I am not ready for yet. Yes, I know having children is a unique experience that can't be understood by someone who doesn't have them, but not people with children seem strangely ignorant to the fact that some people just do not want them, at least for a while.

  4. Chad Sean Cross I don't want to bring someone into this world only to not be there for them, nor do I want to change my way of life drastically just so I can be.

  5. and you'd best be well off in the first place to find anyone willing to listen to you. people of wealth tend to not take seriously those who cannot afford a collage education.

  6. congratulations. if i learn the right skills, meet the right people, say the right things, and actually get an opportunity to show my potential, one day i may be as successful as you. i just recognize that it's not easy to succeed in this world, and that most people don't. i don't want to fall into the trap of thinking that i'm somehow special and will succeed where the vast majority have failed. i'm good at some things, sure, but there are plenty of others who are better at what i can do.
