    Before I dropped out of college I started spending a lot of time with a handful of “startup people.” We talked a lot about starting companies and were all pretty terrible students. I’m now the only one who isn’t independently wealthy. Almost all were millionaires by 30.

        I think that’s interesting, but I think it’s symbolic of a new economy more than anything. 30 years ago there’s no way they would have all been founders or millionaires (normalized for inflation). It’s just easier to start a company today.

        Importantly, I don’t think any sane adult would have predicted that at the time. Generally speaking our parents and professors thought we were ne’er do wells
