And none of the luck erases hours of studying, working many times to 10 pm, giving up weekends for more work and saving 20% my entire life (even when money was tight and I went without).

The 'success is luck' is liberal horseshit.

Most people earn their success, like I have.  

okay so what were the conditions you were raised in? It must’ve been the Bronx, in an education system which care next to nothing about whether you passed or failed, in a household which was so short on money that you needed to shift focus from school to working at a McDonalds starting from age 16 (or maybe drug dealing if you were looking to really take a risk). You worked so hard…but so did the kid whose family lived in poverty. Yet you receive your wealth, and the other now has to suffer. How is this fair? Oh yeah! Also, you were heard of a store getting robbed? What about a gang shooting? Yeah, those are all a consequence of shoving these suffering folks to the outskirts of society. People don’t do these sorts of things because they’re stupid. They do it because they‘re desperate in a world which has no interest in helping them.

We will have to agree to disagree.

I know people who had less advantages than I did but are more successful.  I know people who had way more advantages than I did but are far less successful than I am....  not everything is "society's fault."  Personal responsibility is real.

And I won't go into details but a good portion of my family is trailer trash, some of which are in jail.  I don't owe them shit.
