Why care about luck?

Luck and the family you were born into are two of the big things you can't change. Doesn't matter how much you acknowledge it, it won't change.

Putting in the hard (and smart) work and persevering is all you can do. It's a waste of time and energy to worry about Kylie Jenner calling herself a self-made billionaire or whether others are just "luckier" than you.

Disclaimer: I am probably a target audience of the article and maybe a bit biased. I was "lucky" many times in my life which allowed me to move from a family income of around $30k growing up, to around $400k solo now.
