Moneymaxxing is the best cope because if you play your cards right it's 100% skill based.
I don't know, it seems pretty luck-based to me. Or, at least, it depends on how much wealth you actually wish to procure, not to mention how good of a head start you have. If your parents live in a paid-off house, then you're never going to have to worry about rent and can save your entire paycheck if your parents pay for everything else. Then you can invest it all at once and continue adding to your investment, and just let compound interest carry you all the way to wealth.
I asked Grok (probably not the most reliable, but it's a better estimate than nothing...) how much money you could theoretically make if you worked a 40-hour minimum wage job and invested the entirety of your paycheck into any standard index fund and continued that cycle for 20 years. He responded that you would make ~$881,000 by the end of the two decades—and he used the
federal income tax to determine that, which is far lower than I had anticipated considering many states raise that number significantly.
If you don't have that, though, you have rent to worry about—and rent will drain you for almost
all of your money. Without living extremely frugally, it's hard to save up any substantial amount. The black-pill comes to collect even when it comes to finances, unfortunately.
