lotta folks have no work life balance and hardly any money

the majority of people will have average-or-worse results - just definitionally

there are a lot of advantages - of circumstance, of timing, of availability, of placement, of health - that nobody has control over

if someone tells you that you can just grind yourself to generational wealth they're trying to sell you something, don't listen

you can't guarantee yourself success with the right attitude and actions

BUT

you can guarantee yourself failure pretty damn easily with the wrong ones. you don't need to be a workaholic. but you need to be willing to work for what you want. and you need to be willing to work to find what will satisfy you beyond just high scores in bank accounts. there's mental poison on both ends, both will likely leave you bitter and unfulfilled when you don't replicate someone else's tens of millions of dollars by age X
