Transcript

Not enough people talk about how hard it is to get rich by starting off rich. Not to say that my family's rich or anything, but we're definitely well off for ourselves. But like, the problem comes to where I could literally sit in this bed all day and I just know I'm gonna have a backup plan. Like there's gonna be something to get me out. Whether it's getting a job through my dad or through one of his friends or anything like that. So like, low-key subconsciously, it kind of makes you fucking lazy. Because like, yeah, I could do work, or I could just sit here fucking brain-rotting and end up getting a good six-figure salary.
