  1.  Trainrhys  I'm sure he had insiders that knew that both of those would be very profitable.

  2. And we spend time in school and university. Synthetic, authoritarian, unrealistic, synthetic environments with forced socialization, that produce weak, useless stupid people in 12-20 years. Goes doubly so for STEM.

  3. Being bad at school and university doesn't matter, when the education system produces weak, stupid useless people and doesn't teach you almost any real life skills in 12-20 years, while wasting your youth. Goes doubly so for STEM... The most successful people I know(and I know a few dozen of them as they are close friends and acquaintances) went to private courses and self-educated as much as possible, while ditching school as much as possible. Didn't even go to university. And only one of them had wealthy parents, the rest had below "mid-class" parents... These people got to earn 3-7x the average salary by the age of 22-24 and some opened their own companies recently.

  4.  kingofassholes4348  You have to consider the standard of living. Making 5 figures doesn't mean much, the question is how much purchasing power do they have. There are countries like Egypt where rent is 10-15$, apartments and smaller houses are a few thousand, but of course they earn a lot less. A 170 sqm apartment near the center of a city in Egypt is 3250$, go find one for the same price in Europe, the USA or Canada.
