(compared to most I have led an extremely lucky life other than my aspiness, health, and violent childhood. I can’t claim privilege other than genetic but I made my way on my own. You have to work very hard and be pretty smart to compete at the top. You have to work smart and invest in capital in the middle. Work hard and limit your expenses at the bottom. The major difference being that the wealthier you are the more entertainment you can manage – although you probably have less want of it. Why? The man at the top finds entertainment in his gains and wants to preserve the income stream. The man in the middle appreciates his condition and is careful with his entertainment. The man at the bottom generally bears high emotional, intellectual, and especially physical cost, and needs sedation (pain killing) to persist it. The people at the bottom who have this down are those that check out and live cheaply on light labor and the state. The problem is there are too may of them. )
