#2I like the title!
Re: The majority of the advice given to us works. We don’t
#3I think I’m a self-help junkie. I’ve read enough self help blogs and articles and books to become a ‘guru’ myself. Anywhere from personal finance to minimalist living. The weird thing is I still read those articles even though I’m already financially independent and own less than many self-proclaimed minimalists. Maybe it’s me patting myself on the back and procrastinating.

TLDR:
"I'm 22 and wildly successful. I have zero appreciation for the fact that 98% of my success can probably be attributed to my parents being awesome. I am here to piss on you and tell you what a loser you are for not brilliantly choosing to be born to awesome parents too. Because beneath the thin veneer of material success, I have zero respect or compassion for anyone."

I'm the same way! I still love reading about others perspectives on doing things, motivating themselves, and getting what they want. I think it's helpful to hear different versions!

Hahaha someone's mad :) Glad you liked it!
By the way, I give a percentage of what I make away to women's charities because I know I'm lucky and I can use what I have to help people who have been through the same sexual abuse crimes I have.
My parents had me too young and struggled and failed for years trying to build their own dreams. I've worked and studied full time since I was 15 and couldn't even legally drive my ass to work.
I just don't tell everyone that. Just you.
Do you feel complete? Adequate? Satisfied? A sense of justice?
Ok, fantastic.

Nope. I didn't like it at all and I don't appreciate this kind of self serving BS wherein you twist my words to promote yourself as some clever life hack because you think you are so much smarter than the rest of the entire planet.

Nope. It is still contemptuous towards me personally and self serving. It is all about trying to make you look good at my expense.
All you are doing is digging your grave deeper in my eyes.

...How was your first comment not contemptuous and self serving?
As long as it satisfied you :)
