I spent 10k making a short film three years ago, it was well made but shit. Wasn’t watched by anyone but got into some festivals where it again wasn’t watched by anyone. But it did get me an agent and now I’m working half of the year doing commercials at $20k a week.

My brother tried a bunch of solo shit in his 20s, it didnt get anywhere, but it made his resume packed full of experience, so now in his mid 30s he was able to land a pretty lucrative position in a company purely based on all the random shit he did

He also made a ton of connections during his 20s trying out all kinds of random shit, which is how he got the connections to all these high end tier jobs in his 30s.

Thing is - he didn't do all that stuff in his 20s to get into his current position, it just turned out that way because of the people he met throughout his 20s doing his own random stuff that gave him the connections later on in his 30s to get these high paying jobs

That $7,000 spent on the film itself is not what will help the guy, he might have just worked with a guy on that film who in 10 years will become some top tier movie producer, and then he will be able to help your friend out then. You never know.

No gf until 31, no drivers license until 29, no job until 31. I graduated uni at 31 with meme engineering degree.
35 now, have a fiance, working in tech as a PM. I haven't made it yet but working on it.
One day I just hated my life, stopped making excuses and blaming others for my situation in life, took responsibility for my own actions and quit everything that was not taking me where I want to be (no vídeo games, no drinking, no procrastinating, no beating my meat 10 times a day).
Take this post how you will but you can change your life if you try hard enough. I won't be Elon rich but I won't be a homeless neet. I will make it, I will buy a house, I will have a family and I will not depend on Mr.Shekelberg. Working on a business now, refining my value proposition, sales pitch and closing strategy.

Sadly there are many people like this. I see it happen whenever I'm a social situation of male-only group. Lower quality guys demean each other, and make jokes at the expense of one another, instead of lifting themselves up.
I had that same thing happen to me in my family, and it's sad because I realized I don't have time to hang out with people like that, but at the same time you have to sacrifice them in order to get to the next level

Failed normalfags on 4chan have this crazy idea that you're either a billionaire by 25 or a loser. There's a fundamental refusal, probably because of redditors flooding in, to accept that society is just poorer, things cost more and no one is ever going to reach the same levels of wealth that boomers had in the 1980s by 'flexing' online about their 'hustle' selling their ass to gay chinese people 2 days a week.

But we will always have fags claiming to be millionaires, who inexplicably complain about not getting laid and won't leave /biz/ to do anything else.
