Don’t try and “make it” by 22 and realize that those who appear to do so are faking it.

Yeah, the only ones that realistically “make it” by their early 20’s were born with a trust fund. Seriously, if you go read up on most of the big “American dream” types, you’ll realize that they only had the time to work 55 hours unpaid each week, because they had a trust fund feeding them and keeping them sheltered.
Bill Gates used to be the poster child for the American dream; A young scrappy programmer whose tiny tech startup beat the odds, thanks to Gates working so hard he would end up sleeping under his desk. Then when you dig deeper, you realize he was born a multi-millionaire. He was only able to take the risk with (and dedicated the time to) his tech startup because he didn’t need to worry about rent or affording his next meal.
