And the funny thing is, thinking about "working hard" affecting your circumstances. There are maybe two people (in these circles) I can think of who have worked anything CLOSE to as hard or struggled as much as I have over the past 35 years.

"The funny thing is there are absolutely traits skills and characteristics that financially super successful people have and they are:
money
being born into money
knowing other people with money"

@NilaJones People really believe it was their hard work that got them ahead. But you can always point to the exact circumstances and turning points where our privileges allowed the hard work to even affect anything in your life.
