Here’s my step-by-step guide on how to stay poor: 1. Optimize for salary. Ignore equity and ownership. 2. Inflate your lifestyle at every raise. 3. Treat AI as a threat, not as leverage. 4. Never learn the tax code. 5. Complain about your circumstances. 6. Avoid risks. 7. Ignore stories and advice from people richer than you. 8. Start tomorrow, not today. 9. Trade time for money forever. --- P.S. Prompt for image: "Turn this image of me into a 2D animation but make me look sad and poor." 🤣 View original post on LinkedIn.
