    If I get up at 4am, I’m going to bed at 8pm. So I’m not saving any time, I’m stealing time from my evening to work in the morning. That’s what it ultimately comes down to…stealing personal time to spend on working…

    “Multifamily syndicator” seems like a euphemism for paying child support and alimony.

    Though the reality is its when a group of investors become a landlord for a duplex. And with “$50 million in assets raised” it appears this guy convinced people to invest in a row of L.A. duplexes.

    What a champ. A real market maker.

        Don’t forget this step:

        write a book on how the poor can get rich like you (by selling your book to other suckers)

      Reminds me of that song, “Cats in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin. That’s sort of what the song is about.

      The dad never has time for his kid because he’s working all the time. But the kid wanted to be just like his dad.

      And so the kid, when he’s grown up, ends up never having time for his dad. He’s grown up to be just like his dad.

      This fucking dude in the picture fortunately has no responsibility beyond the investor money from other fucking idiots who think the economy, the planet, all our well-being, is an elaborate casino game.

    This is dumb. But just to talk corpo for a bit (because that is the reality for many of us): early in your career, putting in extra study time (or just making time on the clock if possible) will give you a leg up for certain kinds of white collar work. Just because you’ll know more.

    But doing work on weekends will set you apart as a damned sucker who can be used by others to make career moves. So do that if you want to feel someone’s pump in your eye socket as they trample you to reach for their dream job.

    You’re never going to get promoted to an easier job if you’ve proven you can build like 2x more widgets than your co-workers.

    You’ll get to a better job by showing up with your co-workers to the boss’ house and asking nicely.
