$28,000 is peanuts now?

In the grand scheme of things, sure, it's not much, but consider the time and place where he was that his father could just give him that much money.

I have a lot more in my bank and just bought a apartment in a pretty expensive area ( 30 years old)

I'm in no way rich, but have no money troubles. I also saved a lot, worked a lot and lived with my parents pretty long

You’re just proving his point. The opportunity cost of sacrificing so much for so long compared to not having to and being able to take big risks with a lot of potential upside.

Aren't i proving my first point? Being wealthy is sufficient. You don't need to be rich.
