@skinnylatte but, also, it took me years to begin to understand how wealth moves. If you go to Stanford, you're already rubbing elbows with the money people at 22. If you go to community college, you're...not. You're just so much more likely to succeed on your first throw when your dart is accelerated by a huge sum of money from connected investors.
@skinnylatte yep, I'm from working class roots. I got lucky in the stock market during the first tech boom which funded my first throw. Then I got into Y Combinator, which helped with a second (though it was back when Y Combinator invested a laughably small amount of money). After nearly a decade working a regular tech job, maybe I can take another throw...but, now I'm old enough to need good health insurance and a retirement account, so the risk is higher.
