I would like to offer a bit of clarification regarding my recent X post.
It is always beneficial to step back and reflect on the traditional assumptions we make about life and wealth. For instance, you might want to consider whether earning a college degree or holding down a steady job genuinely guarantees your personal safety. When it comes to building wealth, it is important to ask if simply keeping money in the bank makes you rich, or if relying on a 401k will actually ensure your financial security in the years to come. Looking at the bigger picture, we also have to wonder if the PhDs working in government are truly capable of paying off our national debt.
Ultimately, these are deeply personal evaluations. You are the only person who can decide the right answers to these questions.
