Everyone is so disenfranchised by society that they literally hate people who are successful.

I know a lot of people who are struggling. Many of them close friends. I know a lot of people who are incredibly successful.

There's a stark difference between the two. The people who are unsuccessful are typically aimless and unwilling to commit to specific trades or education standards for long periods of time. They always want to shortcut life and seem to flitter from opportunity to opportunity never understanding that long-term commitment is what builds success. I know successful people who are not very intelligent but just hard-working.

Time in the market always outperforms timing the market.

What Reddit is missing in this case is the fact that if these people were "trust fund babies" (or just really successful people you know?) they would have just bought a 300k van build and moved on with their life.

Instead they put the hard work in and dialed in a incredible van build that you couldn't possibly buy with money.

That shows good work ethic and commitment on the builders part. You know the kinds of qualities that you would find in successful people?

This is Reddit in a nutshell. A bunch of miserable fucking losers who want to project their miserable experience on everyone else.

Reddit used to be a fun place but no longer.
