Americans overestimate social mobility in their country
Social mobility is a very tricky thing. I think every person can succeed as long as they have the courage to cut off people who are counterproductive to that. For example, when I look at my own parents, they&#x27;re simply self-destructive people who never took responsibility for any of their actions. Whenever I&#x27;ve needed to depend on anyone in my family. I&#x27;ve ultimately been let down, but when it comes to my own efforts. You know I got my own apartment when I was 19, and I&#x27;ve made six figures, despite a family member screwing me out of finishing college, by the time I was 25. It&#x27;s very hard to cut off your own family though, but whatever situation your parents are in, that&#x27;s the situation they&#x27;re in. I did make the mistake of trying to save my family members, and it was a very costly mistake.<p>They were perfectly fine with ruining the life I built for myself, up until I blocked most of them and just moved to a different city.  Work hard and cut off lazy people. Don&#x27;t get involved of anyone who doesn&#x27;t want to work, outside of laziness being disgusting upon itself, these people tend to cause unlimited drama. A person who&#x27;s finishing up their PhD, while working full time doesn&#x27;t have time to cause problems. Someone who&#x27;s 28 or 29 and still doesn&#x27;t work has plenty of problem causing time.<p>Once you understand this, and just to add, make sure if you&#x27;re having trouble finding the right type of people where you live, you consider moving. I&#x27;m from LA, I&#x27;ve had so many strange situations created by people who I&#x27;ve alluded to above. The moment I left LA, I had a fantastic partner, and I&#x27;ve never had someone try to put me in a volatile situation since.<p>All of this sad, I&#x27;ve been very lucky. Medical conditions I&#x27;d be screwed. All it takes is a single severe medical condition to financially ruin you, and then you can&#x27;t afford treatment, in this country says good luck try a go fund me
