As I said, I do agree with your point of view, but I don't want to give up just because I'm not a millionaire...
I couldn't afford to drop a year at University because I will not have money to pay for another one... But, I know that people who had didn't care about that...
That would be your view about "making mistakes"... Yes, I have fewer opportunities than Trump's son, but I will try better to use them... :)
I'm nowhere near being a millionaire either, hope to get there for sure, would be great would afford me loads of opportunities. I think that first we need to learn to recognise small opportunities, see what problems you can solve, learn to start small and find ways to be productive.
It's how I managed to etch out a living, I learned marketing at a company and then took my show on the road, I am by no means rich but I am in control over my earning capacity and like everyone here trying to learn to augment that in other ways. Have I lost money in crypto yes sure more than I would have liked but I've learned a shit load and I feel I am much more equipped than I was coming into it in 2015/16
