    They think they got rich by sacrificing lattes and avocado toast. Therefore… you can be rich too!

      Rationalizing something that just happened to you in life’s lottery is a very common thing for humans.

      I mean, some people here thinking that they are not “rich” because of being honest, cause all the “rich” are dishonest bastards, is of the same root.

      I agree that both are wrong and also that being that disconnected from the reality is bad. It’s just that there are much more categories other than rich/poor in which many of us got the longer stick.
