mental work can be considered hard work. im not saying hipponipple works hard, but doesnt have to be physical. I have done a lot of landscaping and construction work which was physically draining. then when i did calculus in college that shit was so mentally draining id get tired from it.

nonetheless you are still right though kergan. the country is designed to keep the rich wealthy and the poor, well poor. The more money you have the more money you can make. its a terrible system, but im not willing to think of a new system so im just going with the flow.

I don't think I had any ridiculous advantages. I paid for school with student loans, paid for my own car, etc. My parents made over 200k between the two of them but I didn't get a dime because I fucked around in high school (probably played too much EQ, lol).

I just woke up in time, left my 4 year school to do a 2 year degree in computer shit and worked "hard" after that.

I guess my point is if you're not retarded and don't rack up a bunch of DWIs or some shit you'll make a decent living and have a decent life. Maybe part of that is the country we live in but I can't imagine it's much different in any 1st world countries.

my girl's dad owns a small piece of property that he inherited when his dad died. he rents the property to 7-11 who gives him 4000$ a month just to rent the tiny lot of land. they also put about 20,000$ into redoing the entire lot of land for free. its on a busy street in the downtown city so its worth a lot.

another example why hard work doesnt mean shit. Hard work is something thats priceless. its character building. i've worked very hard my entire life, its done more for me than any amount of money can do i believe.

Having land in an ideal and growing area is just lucky. I have a client that is rich because her grandparents owned farm land in Plano (Dallas area) before it developed into a city. Their entire family is rich and didn't earn it.

On the other hand people that work smart and hard tend to get lucky more often than those sitting around doing nothing. Successful entrepreneurs are in the right place at the right time because they were smart enough to steer themselves in that direction.

My dad owns property all over Dallas. Rockwall/Plano/Frisco. The hard work comes in with owning property like that when you develop it just right.

Selling vacant land is one thing, developing the land for multifamily residential with retail on the first floor is another. Fighting with the city to let you build more units without the requirement of attached garages, having the property rezoned for your intended use, demographic research, appraising it before and after completion, getting the bank to agree on a loan with the right interest rate.

That's where hardwork comes into owning property. I will be passed down some of these treasures one day and I plan to continue tr legacy of my father. Hardwork isn't just working in a rice field until becoming crippled from exhaustion. It's all relative.

this is true, im not completely ignorant to the outside world, but i was just talking in terms of the USA. I've lived a pampered life compared to a lot of countries out there.

Married two kids runs a successful business, devotes hours upon hours six out of seven days a week to hand holding retards on a 100 population elf sim. Guess money can't buy you everything.
