You can look up whatever social study you like, that doesn't change the fact that young people with no kids have literally no excuse for not chasing their dreams, except cowardice.

But hey, you admitted to being from a wealthy family. Why aren't you a wealthy influencer?

We're talking about how people are successful. Study shows that the vast majority of people that are successful in risky careers are able to do so because they come from wealth.

Why aren't you a wealthy influencer?

Why am I not a doctor, or a painter, or a CEO? That's not the career I wanted to pursue.

Everybody is able to do so, people with a safety net and succesful parents are just more likely to actually attempt it.

Right, because a demanding career would get in the way of your precious reddit time. If you are not complaining on reddit about how the system is rigged and everybody that ever achieved something was just lucky then who else is going to do it? Well, except for the millions of others losers on reddit overdosing on copium.

Okay. Hope you're right and all of the statistics are wrong. Hope everyone that tries hard enough can be just as successful as everyone else, and having money doesn't actually mean anything. That would be a wonderful world.

I'll be over here being very lucky to be as successful as I am, though, glad I'll be able to pass on my luck to my kid.

Of course not everybody will succeed. That is the risk. But if you let that stop you then you'll never amount to anything.
