I definitely want the world to be an equal place, but sometimes, I just really get annoyed with the people that are "poor" around me. I explain to friends and relatives how money works, how to build capital and how to use it, but they just go blow every cent of their paycheck on the new Xbox.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to politely listen to friends and relatives talk about being a slave to their jobs when I am very aware that their regular paychecks barely touch their pocket before going to something really fun. I can tell people how amazing all this stuff is and how just $50 in Bitcoin could potentially become a nice sized retirement after Russia buys in and a bunch of other countries and banks follow. But no, they hand over their money gleefully at Radioshack, but just $50 into a crypto or some other investment vehicle causes them to shake in their boots.

I'm also sick of hearing these same people complain about the inequality when they buy all kinds of junk like there's no tomorrow, but for some reason when the guy that lived off ramen noodles and cheap beer to fund his business achieves incredible success we're all suppose to think he should not have any more stuff than anyone else.

I want equality and I hate when systems are rigged for failure, but sometimes I really do think that a lot of the time people cause the inequality just by choosing not to save anything, invest anything or push themselves at all. So many people choose not to control spending and exercise willpower. Should the people that do wise things be hated simply because they are wiser?
