    Money is is arguably the smallest common denominator of opportunities generally speaking. So in regards to things that make money…

    • if everyone is doing or talking about it then it probably won’t pay well.
    • if it’s easy then it probably won’t pay well The reverse of these points are also generally true.

    If you can learn to be responsible with making, saving, and investing money then there is no reason you can’t do the same with other things in life like relationships or your personal meaning in life.

    But here’s the bottom line, life is like an online video game. Hacks get patched. Relying on them is is silly and irresponsible. But disapline and sacrifice and understanding some basic concepts will get you really far. Speed running ain’t easy until you’ve invested hundreds of thousands of hours into the mechanics of the game.
