Wake up at 4 am or work 70+ hours per week

Yeah right Elon, we know you work 100 hrs a week

Frontend Engineer

Hard for me to say, but this works if you are ina sunrise sector and the company is also growing profitable. I personally know at least a dozen people who joined Infosys in the late 90s who today own multiple properties.

Am yet to see a poor mid level startup employee. I don't think there is any middle class person as a leadership level employee of a VC funded startup.
Working 70hrs make you rich, but depends on the role.

Consultant

Founder

Trading stocks and crypto. Not worth playing around with chump change and losing sleep over it. Better to save small amounts and invest long term.

Analytics Manager

Staff Engineer

1. Getting a ba, bsc, bcom degree just for the sake of it.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

1. Real estate (invested value)
2. Liquid cash
3. Other Investments (invested value)

The wealth should not be inherited.

I'm 30. No house, 10L in cash and 5L in mutual funds. No inherited weath.

How much wealth have you created yourself?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

If there is one thing you can learn from Ambani’s wedding, it’s the fact that money is the only objective measure of power and influence in this world.

-

The biggest rivals politically, share the stage and greet each other 
The biggest rivals in cricket, dance with each other
The biggest rivals in cinema, greet each other 
The biggest rivals within family, help each other 
The biggest rivals in business, hug each other 

-

You should strive to make as much money as you possible can because money is power. You don't do it for pleasure; you do it because that's how you win. You do it because in this ruthless world, being on top is the only safe place to be. Money is your shield and your weapon, and without it, you're nothing.

-

You make as much money as possible because, let's face it, money's fun. It's the key to all the cool stuff—power, parties, private jets, you name it. Sure, it's also about proving yourself and not being the screw-up everyone thinks you are, but mainly it's about the thrill. Making money means you're in the game, you're relevant, and you can do whatever the hell you want. 

-

Plus, it gives you the leverage to tell people to screw off and actually get away with it. So, yeah, stack that cash and enjoy the ride.

-

You make as much money as possible because it’s your ticket to security and status. In this family and in this world, wealth is what keeps you safe and respected. It’s about climbing the ladder and proving you belong at the top, even if you weren’t born into it. With money, you gain leverage, influence, and the ability to protect yourself in a cutthroat environment. Plus, it doesn’t hurt to enjoy the finer things and have a buffer against the chaos that comes with being alive in this world. 

-

You make as much money as possible because it’s about breaking boundaries and redefining what’s possible. It’s not just about the money—it’s about the disruption, the innovation, and staying ahead of the curve.

Make money! As much as you possibly can!

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Recently being seen a bunch of people here taking a dig on people with high salaries. This is so counter productive. Rather than trying to learn from people who’ve been able to get a head start and getting it for yourself why are you resorting to hating on them? 

This is what is the difference between India and the west. The west is so fu##in capitalistic that people just understand and respect those that have money and everyone else is working hard to make it too. 

Don’t hate the race. Don’t hate the winners. We can all win. Help each other. 

My salary is also high so whatever…

Stop hating people who succeed

Ask those influncers whats will you do with your life after FIRE. Assuming target completed at 35yrs of age then what? And even after that what will you do with the money. Keep in bank or stocks to be passed on to "no one" after you or just maybe taken up by banks and govt and home taken up by land encrochers. Life is not at end after FIRE. FI is good so you can protect your family but when you "killed" your family tree itself to achieve FIRE what did you acheive ,for whom, for what? Good for show offs maybe but internet fame is limited till there only no one is there for you on ground. Empty  4 walled rooms being cat/dog "moms" all have been already experimented in west and now being tried to replicate here. 
They want us to stay poor by selling us the lifestyle they are living though the money they got by selling the courses. The logic they applied maybe worked at that time but does it guarantee the same logic will work in next 10 yrs and if thats true why not they themself buy all those assets with all that money  will get 100 bagger in next 10 yrs themselves.
I can continue the same with their rent vs buying home logic but maybe keep it up for another day.

for me. i spent college studying for grades and 20s making money in a job I don't like, but never got to make the memories I should've with all my friends. I regret doing all of that

what is your worst mistake professionally?

1. Novel/new business idea 
2. Degrees/MBAs
3. Experience/reputation
4. Money (hardly 20-30k to register company)
5. CTO
6. Employees/Co-founders
7. External investment
8. Website/app
9. Social media accounts
10. Office location (register home as office)

Far too many people focus on needing xyz before starting up. Most of them are excuses and self-imposed roadblocks from what I've seen in my conversations with people.

I'm currently working on 2 ventures that still have many items missing from this list. Doesn't really stop me from making revenue and profit.

Sure, there may be some things required from this list for specific businesses and at diff stages. But they are mostly an extra, good to have but not required.

What is required in copious amounts is courage and will power, willingness to face rejections and ability to withstand multiple failures only to get back up and try again. Also, a healthy enough risk appetite.

I hope to see more young and talented folks (especially MBA grads) start their own thing some day. Best time is in your twenties and early thirties, when you have little to lose. 

If you have any business ideas you want help with, I'd be happy to discuss and share contacts and resources if required.

Good luck soldiers, see you in the arena 🪖
