If you're not rich it's your own fault and you're probably lazy too (CSLG)
Poast new message in this thread
Date: August 16th, 2022 10:39 AM Author: idiotic codepig Not all of us are blessed with a 180 trust fund. For the rest of us, there are so many ways to get rich in the world today. Real estate, law, drop shipping, tech, generic sales jobs, etc. More importantly though there is an infinite amount of free resources on the internet that teach you almost everything about business, finance, sales, and people skills. 20 years ago access to good information about getting rich was very hard to come by. You had to know other rich people who could let you in on how the world really works. Now that shit is plastered all over the internet for anyone to read and learn.
If you took away my law license and all my money, I'd be a multimillionaire within a few years and I'd be back here posting the same thing.
I'm not posting this to be a jerk. I love all my XO, brothers. I'm just trying to make the point that we live in the easiest time in history for a normal person to become wealthy. It is really your opportunity to throw away.
Email me if you have questions. Happy to help any way I can. I want you all to succeed. My dream is to be the poorest poster on XO and be surrounded by all my decamillionaire poster buds! |

I went solo and make like $300k net but figuring out how to scale a firm is hard because even if I hire associates I've got to supervise them and clients still want to talk to me and deal with me.

To me being useful to other people is high on the list, along with seeking spiritual fulfillment. However, it is very nice not to be poor. YMMV.

It's interesting I was actually reading Marx the other day and he said something brilliant. He said capitalism forces you to become useful and productive. Our societal structure values producers over all else. There's a tension inside every person between their desire to consume and find fulfillment and the necessity they face to generate capital by being useful to other humans. And in any capitalist society the useful and productive people are always going to live above the people who seek personal fulfillment without producing wealth. |

The reality is that it’s a very well crafted compromise for both sides assuming the wagecuck doesn’t have family wealth or other social resources to smooth his path into entrepreneurship/ownership. Even eg the boomers who made 300k+ in the early 80s when they were still in their 20s/early 30s bc they made partner at whatever regional firm while billing 1400 hours a year and spending most of their waking hours drunk.

Date: August 16th, 2022 1:46 PM Author: Underhanded Antidepressant Drug Generalized Bond Lol I am honestly very thankful that I don’t have your personality. You seem pathetically needy and insecure basically all the time, which is common for extremely short men, but still very off putting. That said, you’re exactly right that GC is offering me something comfy and easy and I am taking it. If my wife worked and made a decent salary or if we didn’t have kids I’m sure I would see the calculus differently and I do still dick around with side hustles of one kind or another, but I don’t get mad if they don’t take off and make me quit my day job because I have a great life and don’t want for much of anything.

Date: August 16th, 2022 4:35 PM Author: idiotic codepig This doesn't make any sense. Giving my kids some capital will give them an easier time get rich faster. The first million is always the hardest, brother. If you raise your kids right, then having some money will help them achieve great things much faster. I'm spending a lot of time building strong bonds with my children and teaching them valuable skills. My son already has that hustler/hard work mentality, and my daughter emulates almost everything he does. He can't wait to participate in the restaurant business, and he is excited about our other family businesses. If you neglect your kids, I can see how money can make them complacent and lazy. But I think money just magnifies the relationship (or lack thereof) you have with your children and also magnifies how well (or how poorly) you teach them life skills.

"Anyone can get strong and if you aren't strong it's probably because you're lazy" *puts 300 pounds on the bar for his son then gets spotters to carry 290 pounds of it* "it's all you son!"
I mean if they can indeed do it on their own but you do it for them anyway, then why let them do anything on their own? It would be like tying your 25-year-old son's shoes for him. There's nothing wrong with that, I guess, except it makes your son look like a retard for not being able to do such a doable thing for himself. Even with a mentor like you around you still don't trust him to be able to make his own money! And yet you come in here and sneer at everyone for not being rich of their own volition. Doesn't make much sense (but I don't sense that logic is your strong suit). |

Date: August 16th, 2022 4:24 PM Author: Ruddy selfie spot Taking the OP on its own merits, I'm surprised that nobody has pointed out the flaw in CSLG's logic: the fact all these resources are now readily available makes them less useful, not more, in becoming rich. He also lists a bunch of saturated fields, like everyday sales, that are empirically subject to power laws with respect to returns, and which are in all events fully subject to the microeconomics verity that competition drives marginal profit to zero.
The more realistic way to get rich is to find some accurate way of assessing your relative skills against the market, subject to information costs, and then hyperspecialize in the stuff that gives you an edge. (If you've got the angle, Peter Thiel's advice that you really want a monopoly of some sort, licit or illicit, is hard to beat.) For CSLG, this is doing minimax optimizations a la an Everquest server and sarging proles in the context of a sheisty PI practice in California. Others will have other skills that give them a comparative advantage.
As I've said before, I respect what CSLG does, but I'd not want to do it or want his life. I'm glad he's reached his goals, though. I doubt he could do what I do, since he's not wired that way, but that's OK, variety is the spice of life. |

Date: August 16th, 2022 5:00 PM Author: lemon nursing home death wish CSLG, first off I didn’t know that your mom died and I’m sorry to hear about that. I know you guys were close so that’s a shame. I’m trying to cherish the time with my mom, even when we fight.
Second, I think if you asked me 10-15 years ago about your OP, I wouldn’t agree but now I would. After seeing so many people grind and end up mediocre and others who aren’t even that bright succeed, I can say a lot of it comes down to risk taking and not willing to even try because it just seems too daunting. I wouldn’t characterize it as lazy so much as lack of appetite for change and uncertainty. And when you have a family esp, a lot is at stake. For example, I get recruiter calls all the time for what could be intriguing opportunities, perhaps some that may lead to multiples of millions. But it would require more work, less cushy lifestyle, some degree of financial risk and uncertainty, so I don’t do it. If I really had that fire in my belly, I bet I can make it.
I also sometimes think I would like to do something with real estate. I got our house together for rental, took photos, did listing etc and noticed on Zillow so many professional real estate listings where the agent doesn’t even bother to stage a property or use overexposed photos. And their listing lags for weeks while ours got rented in 3 days. It’s like, how do people not even put in basic effort. In a second career, I’d like to flip houses and I bet I’d be good at it. It’s just hard to know where to start but you’re right with all the resources I can really do it if I wanted to.
I was only taught the conventional path and I’d like my children to be a lot more entrepreneurial and have started early on their investment accounts and other things that I want to involve them at a young age. A traditional education is bs. Prestige is bs. My thinking has really changed on this stuff. |

Date: August 16th, 2022 6:03 PM Author: Deep ebony indirect expression A few problems with this.
1. Risk appetite doesn't always go in your favor. I'm a great example of that. Went to be a big expat in a country I'm closely connected to where in the decade past people who did what I did all became very wealthy. And just after I did the same thing - kaboom. All blew up. Good thing I didn't stick around waiting for things to get better because it never did. Had to do a fairly hard reset after that. So when you say "oh, you're just risk averse!" - yeah, maybe they are, but maybe that's helping them avoid serious problems in life.
2. Different people have different strengths and weaknesses. You're basically assuming that everyone is a natural salesman. Many people suck at sales. They're not lazy per se, maybe they work a ton. But they're not good with people. Even if they try to learn they will only be better than they were, they will never be the guy that's great with other people. You obviously are, and that's fundamental to who you are. Good for you. But not everyone is like that. |
