It genuinely baffles me that people like you exist.

Have people always been this pessimistic, or is it just more apparent because of places like reddit?

You've made a metric fuck tonne of assumptions, and have just veered off in an entirely irrelevant direction under the guise of 'he got lucky'.

It's boring. Everywhere you turn online there's a negative plonker just waiting to piss on someone's parade, and for what? Because their starting point wasn't identical to yours? Sob sob.

People start from nothing and build fortunes. It happens. Some people's 'hobbies' are working. Boohoo. Everybody's different, and just because it doesn't fit your one dimensional view of how people should live their lives, doesn't mean it's wrong.

Crack open a cold one, get some nice dinner down ya, and chill the fuck out pal. You'll feel better for it
