Play enough games, learn from enough losses, and give yourself enough time. That's where the odds begin to change.
This is not a gambling advertisement.
Some people inherit property. Some inherit businesses. Others inherit a passport that makes the world suspicious of them before they have even introduced themselves.
In functional societies, people use their income to improve their quality of life. In dysfunctional societies, a significant portion of that income goes into compensating for the government's failures.
There is no financial hack that can permanently compensate for a dysfunctional economy. At some point, the problem is no longer your spending habits. The environment itself is working against you.
People underestimate how much of their success is influenced by the environment they were born into. A functional society can make an average person productive. A dysfunctional one can make a brilliant person look mediocre.
There is something deeply unfair about having to be exceptionally talented, disciplined, resourceful, and hardworking just to achieve what an average person in a functional society can achieve with relative ease.
In a third-world country, survival is a full-time job. Building wealth is a second job. Trying to enjoy your life with whatever is left is practically a miracle.
The tragedy of being born in a third-world country is that you are expected to compete globally while living in an environment that makes the most basic things unnecessarily difficult.
Imagine spending your entire life working hard just to afford the basic necessities that people in other countries take for granted. That is the third-world experience.
In a third-world country, you don't just fight to improve your standard of living. You fight to prevent your standard of living from deteriorating. Sometimes, simply remaining where you are is an achievement.
The worst part about being from a third-world country is watching your potential get consumed by problems that should not exist in the first place.

One of the most exhausting things about Nigeria is that you can spend an entire day solving problems that should never have existed. Then you wake up the next morning and start all over again.
