Why not simply try your best to be born into a rich family?
That was my first mistake that I still haven’t financially recovered from.
I’m in my 40s now. Is it too late to do this?
How do you feel about reincarnation ?
Not too good actually.
You can look into adoption. I’m sure there are plenty of billionaires who are looking to adopt a 40 year old boy (or a girl)
I can’t confirm this. They all seem to like little children.
I don’t know how common this was elsewhere, but in feudal Japan it was common for powerful families without a son to adopt an adult son who could carry on their family name and titles.
Unfortunately, these days the billionaires seem to be fond of pumping out dozens of children with different women, so they’re not likely to need a son to carry on the family name.

Exactly, you need to do four things in order to become rich:
- Do NOT pay taxes; taxes are only for poor people; be proactive.
- Use your tax money to
bribelobby politicians into help you become richer. - Abuse your employees and your providers; squeeze them like you were a baddie from Dune.
- Be a pillar of the community, which means paying a PR agency to boost your image.
Or at least that’s what I learned from the rich.
That’s not how you become rich-er. To become rich in the first place, you need to try real hard to be born rich, or be one of the four people per generation that get stupid lucky.
The important part is once you’re rich, claim it was due hard work and perseverance only.
And Cuban is fond of saying that anyone building wealth from nothing who tells you luck wasn’t involved is lying.
There are 13 million Cubans which one said this?
The Cuban duhhh, we all know that Cuban.
Lol kidding aside, if you didn’t know him Mark Cuban is a real person, he’s a billionaire or at least super super rich.
You’re way of base here.
It’s a talking cigar.
Cuban is an idiot as well to be fair. Even if he was being based here.
Pretty sure that the 3 comma club dude in Silicon Valley is based on Cuban.
Getting a little interest free loan of a few million from your family also helps.
Rather than agreeing to lower pay and poor working conditions, why not demand better by using your father’s influence as the head of a top fortune company to simply buy out your workplace and skim the payroll of your fellow workers into your own account.
Yeah, I never thought of doing that. Now i know what I’ve been doing wrong. Your coworkers hate this one simple trick to becoming a millionaire.
Making coffee at home while I collect a paycheck from one of seven different no-show jobs.
Making coffee at home does save you quite a lot if you drink even a decent amount. Won’t make you a millionaire though.
This is ridiculously insufficient to become rich!
I make my own coffee at home, AND I bake my bread myself!
Beware the next billionaiiiiiire!!!
It’s certainly possible to earn yourself into being a millionaire without fraud. You need more than a million dollars just to retire in the US.
Billionaires are another story entirely.
That won’t work, because you see… When you are born rich, your parents know people who can make any crime go away. When you are not born rich, you don’t get that privilege and you will get made an example.
I don’t have enough up votes for this.
Maybe if you skipped the avocado toast every now and then you could afford to pull some upvotes from your bootstraps or something
As someone who doesn’t make coffee at home, I guess it’s the combination of both
There’s a video I like that talks about how pointless it is to cut minor expenses at the cost of your mental health. If you instead decide to invest an extra 1% a year once a year you will make hundreds of thousands over your life versus saving $2000 a year.

Sorry for being so pedantic, but I don’t want to support Twitter’s pay-for-engagement system, or anything about Twitter at all, even indirectly through a screenshot.
Keep in mind this tweet is probably old enough to rent a car.
In a few years it should be able to drink.
Don’t most rental agencies use 25 as the min. age to rent? Or is that just Canada?
They’ll let you rent one at 21 in the US but it’s more expensive with insurance up until age 25.
Come to think of it, it’s probably the only sane thing about any kind of insurance…
Here’s a few more from today that you forgot to lecture:

Downvoting because of asinine slacktivism. It’s a screenshot posted in a community that’s almost entirely screenshots of tweets. Get a grip.

Could you at least be on the right sports field?
Genuinely confused by what you even mean with this comment
No one is the least bit surprised you’re “confused” bud.
Ok
