[quote=The-Shoveler]I just never used the auto pilot button.
I know most do, I just never did so it’s a little hard for me to relate.[/quote]
I don’t either. So I know what you mean about relating. But you do see many on auto pilot. So for those who are on auto pilot, when they’re born makes a huge difference.
Btw, if you’re not the type who are on auto pilot, you might not make the right choice which will make you crash and burn, but you can also become filthy rich as well. Imagine the two engineers example I gave. The one who graduated in 1995, if s/he got lucky with the .com and make 1-2m, then go buy a modest house to live in and buy a bunch of investment properties in 2000. Then sell all of the properties at the near peak (2004ish). S/he can easily have multimillion by now. There’s very little chance the engineer who graduate in 2001-2003, can amass multimillion in 10 years. Especially after just two general decisions.
