  1.  YouTubeDweller8008  Just because Claudine Gay and others fell into money or are born into, doesn't mean that a poor person can't become rich or at least, well off. I know LOTS of people that did it. My dad is one. I have siblings that did the same. All they did was work hard, have a plan, and don't waste your money. Excess drinking will cost you a fortune. Smoking is the same and doing drugs. Buying a fancy car, a huge home, basically living beyond their means is not the way. It's like Tim Pool says, you need to understand your priorities. It can be done but with your attitude, you'll never do it. You've declared yourself a loser before you've even started to try.

  2.  YouTubeDweller8008  NO.....I grew up in Canada and everyone that I know, who are financially secure, grew up here. I get how growing up in a 3rd world country is going to stop you. I know how radical socialist policies can stifle human creativity and how they HATE anyone who shows success through financial gain. However, I also know people, in Canada, who have the attitude that it can't be done and I know for a fact that there are Americans that feel that way, too. American inner cities are filled with them. Funny thing is, all those that I know with that attitude have earned no more money than I have, at least not at first. They just gave up, drank and pissed it all away. I've not inherited a penny. Every cent, that I have, I worked for and saved. America isn't the only country where one can succeed. It can be done in many other countries, too. When you accept defeat, you no longer fight.

  3.  YouTubeDweller8008  That's exactly it. We have to live in a free country in order to be successful and that's where I'm talking from. This video is from the US and I will bet you that a lot of those who are attacking Ivanka Trump live in the US. That's the myth that they want us to believe....that we can't do it on our own. Our education system is filled with those types and our governments, both here in Canada and the US are ever rapidly taking those freedoms away from us. That's why I'm so insistent that we can do it in our 2 countries. It's because of the socialist types, and there's a lot of them in both our countries, who deny that it's possible. They want everything to be run by the government and the more that happens, the more our freedoms erode away. Lose that freedom, the freedom that we had through our recent history, the worse it will become for those who want to work for our success. There's one thing that I know. We live in the greatest countries that this planet has ever seen and we're destroying them with our "there outta be a law" mentality and it's all in the name of a false sense of safety and security. I've been to Cuba. I know how impossible it is for those unfortunate people and there's only one reason for it. It's government control of every aspect of their lives. We will end up that way, just like Venezuela did. The once great state of California is being led down that path by the elites of big tech, celebrities, academics and bureaucrats. It's happening here in Canada, too but we can't give up. It's becoming harder and harder to do but we can still turn it around. However, if we quit working for personal success and insist that our government has to look after us, we will lose it all.

  4.  @Aim54Delta  You make some good points but it doesn't deter from the fact that anyone can become a millionaire. In fact, I think that you've proved it. However, financial success isn't just about a bloated bank account. I'm retired, fairly well off but nowhere near a millionaire. It took hard work and recognising opportunities and making wise decisions. I don't count myself as being anywhere close to being a failure. In fact, I've made bad decisions, lost everything and then built it back up. Had I averted those bad decisions, I might well be a millionaire but that was never important to me. However, we do have a culture that's conducive to failure. The worst is the victim mentality but there are others. We seem to be in times where success must be instant. The brand new car, the big house, great vacations, a pool in the back yard, all the best toys. Those things didn't matter to me. I bought a small house, used cars, put off those great vacations till I retired, didn't bother with a pool or buy any of the nice toys that so many that I worked with wanted so badly. I stayed away from excess drinking, the drugs, all the vices that people seem to live for. I'm not saint but I know where to draw the line and I would not give up my future for a great time today. Sacrifice when you're young and the odds are that you won't be a millionaire but you will have a good life. I see those who had the same opportunities that I had and are now senior citizens with not a cent to their names. They're now living for their government pension and spend the last 2 weeks of every month looking forward to pension day. I didn't want to live that way and all it took was the will to not have it happen. Could it happen? Of course. Our economy could collapse but that's out of my hands. I can only do what I can.
