/biz/ - Business & Finance

People are mostly pushed into their lifestle, it's less of a choice than you think. If I didn't grow up poor and starving I wouldn't have had a major drive to get my hands on money, and probably would have pursued a career in one of the things that are now just my hobbies.

Those who have had a good home life and make it past high school without envisioning their ideal future aren't likely to pursue any lofty goals, obviously. Apathety toward the car they drive, the house they live in or how long it takes to pay off, future family prospects, and so on are probably the only reason they never decide to take a six week course to double their income and have something resembling a career.

And of course, you have to be at least a little clever to clue in to the fact that you can affect your future with your current actions.
