131/ This thread is not aimed at the people who are so dead set on "I'll only cash welfare checks because working is beneath my dignity" thought leaders. This thread is aimed at those that I can reach. The wavering middle who have kinda bought into the NEET / Yangbucks meme...

132/ ...but wonder, in the back of their minds, if the "stupid boomers" with their "stupid boomer memes" might actually know a thing or two. Do you wonder if MAYBE hard work and hustle actually is sometimes rewarded?

133/ I'm here from down town. I'm here from Mitch and Murray. I'm here to tell you that the mindset of free-will, creating your own success, hustle, hard work (a) works. By that I mean "dollars in your pocket" works (b) it makes you feel better (c) it makes your look better

135/ So, anyway, 5 years ago I was bankrupt, forced to leave my home, unemployed. Then I hustled. HARD. For 5 years. Cold-called. Upselled. Asked my friends for leads. Five years later I'm married, own a 5,000 ft^2 house on 56 acres (debt free), have a small pile of savings.

136/ Is this EXACTLY the path you'll take? No. I knew how to code, maybe you don't (tho I've learned several new languages over 5 yrs, and you can too). Will you make EXACTLY the same cash I did? No. Maybe more, maybe less. Is this GUARANTEED to work?

137/ Well, it's not guaranteed to make you exactly

138/ This thread is not said out of bragging, or out of lack of sympathy. It is said EXPLICITLY BECAUSE OF SYMPATHY. The secrets of life are not hidden. They're right out in the open. They're just hard work.

140/ Yep! Rehabbing a house is a second job that almost any able bodied man can do. Learn on the job, acquire skills and tools as you do it. And the sense of pride? Incalculable.https://twitter.com/micahodor/status/1109460443582685185 …
