People generally ascribe far too much importance to general market conditions when it comes to their individual success.

A good market helps you become a bog standard boring wage slave, maybe get a mortgage, etc.

The outsized success folks will go out and get what they need regardless, they aren’t waiting for it to come to them.

This hustle culture "get rich quick" mindset is such a societal disease.

Incredible that people would see the notion of having a moderately successful white collar career (maybe get a mortgage etc) as "boring wage slave".

This is nonsense. Other than the local mafia, almost all extremely successful folk live in extremely affluent markets.

I am obviously not talking about failed states, market crashes in developed countries are usually at max a 25-50% setback.
