More power to you Bird.
One thing you see in USA, with individuals, families, and groups who want to become economically affluent (or at least get a decent standard of living) is that Skills, Hard Work, and Savings are required. Often, you see the Asians in USA doing WAY better than the rest of the general population in this regard. It comes down to family and parental vision along with the work of the child.
This sounds a lot like no shyt Sherlock stuff to Asians, who culturally do this since way ago, but in USA (even though we WERE like this 100-150 yrs ago) it is a wierd, foreign or alien concept.
Skills... acquire skills that are in demand and pay well. University not needed, but the highest paying one require specialized degree. Most USA people waste $250,000 on something that is virtually unemployable, like ethnic studies or English... but the Asians in USA... just about any Asian nation you can think of, when they go to USA, will have the parents of kids ensure their kids study Medicine, electrical/software engineering, Physics/Chemistry... you get the idea, the stuff that is IMMEDIATELY employable in demand at a high pay and it goes up. You see 70%+ of these subjects dominated by Asians for good reasons - parental vision/support for child and the achievement of the child.
Hard Work - When you get employed, you work WAY harder than everyone else... Skills and hard work will take you a lot of places. Americans USED to be mainly like that, but with so much fatherlessness since the 1960s, we see a huge shift in work ethic and achievement. Welfare did that. We could credit Biden, but it was LBJ and Co.
Savings - Asians (especially the Korean wife) are NOTORIOUS scrooges when it comes to saving. What good is all that income if you blow it all away on needless crap. it comes down to making good decisions on what you NEED and buy only what you need and do NOT buy stuff that breaks and makes you spend that money again. USA USED to be real good at that, but now, real crappy overall. When I was in the Army, I would see time and time again 18-21 yr olds coming in, you do not get big money at that age and rank, but it is something... but these kids of last few generations and now BLOW IT ALL AWAY on a car... but that isn't enough, they gotta buy a $5000 loud stereo... then HUGE wheels, then a lift kit and window treatment. Next thing U know, 3 yrs later, car is towed away reposessed, because kid cannot keep up with the 8 loans he took out to fund those projects.
