The wealthy people are the ones telling people to do it, but they are speaking to everyone, not just others like themselves. I’d add to it, do things in the right order, as it statistically points toward later success - out of HS, working, married, have kids. Though I know plenty who went a bit out of order, then corrected course, and have awesome now young adult children. I’m 45, have two kids, and wish I’d had more, as I wanted to. Alas, I married poorly. Choose wisely, fellas & ladies. I’m so sick of being the youngest person at half the things I go to. What a drab future that will be.
