    Ya exactly. The idea that fun should come at the expense of giving yourself a safety net is hogwash. I spent the first 25 years of my life living in poverty. The difference between people who stay in poverty and the people who leave is knowing that a stable foundation is more important than anything else in life

      That’s the main reason for my success too. Sure I put in some work, but all the people around me helped me get to where I am.
