Come on with this. You say this is common sense but most people don't think about this stuff. So ITS NOT COMMON SENSE. Just because you may have been taught the game doesn't mean you shouldn't spread the knowledge and try to upgrade everyone else's thinking.
The whole point is that once you learn about finances is to make better decisions so you CAN excel.
They don't teach about money is schools, most parents weren't taught about money themselves so how are the kids going to know? It's a vicious cycle that only stops once someone is taught and then continues to spread the knowledge.
throw yaself in the bushes.
if someone needs someone else to tell them that they wont be successful in life by playing call of duty and watching porn for the majority of their free time then that person lacks common sense.
The problem, for most people, isnt that they dont know what they need to do to better themselves.......its simply that they dont do it.
Example, there is a upped thread on no fapping in this forum, why? Because a bunch of people who know what they need to do to better themselves (stop fapping) simply wont. It's that simple.
So no, you telling someone "You're most likely not going to jump from 40k to 140k in 3 weeks. You'll have to have a sound plan, and spend the majority of your time executing that plan." is not profound. Everyone already knows this, it's common sense. What people need to do is start doing.
