I’ve seen many people get ruined over time. These are some.
The martyr who gets squeezed by two different generations.
Old-school parents who put everything into their kids, have no savings, and now rely on their adult children to take care of them. The adult children are new-school ideology, have no expectations of their kids, and thus raise useless, lazy, weak, and purposeless kids. This type of person is getting squeezed by the generation above and below. Unless the martyr finds a way to make enough for three groups of people, they’re surely ruined. Just a matter of time.
Big-Money-Now Man.
He assumes that money will always come. Try and tell this person to play it a bit safe, to save for a rainy day, to plan and focus. Nope. This person will tell you that you suffer from a scarcity mindset. This person is cursed by temporary good luck and assumes that the gravy train runs forever.
Wrong partner in life.
No matter how talented and ambitious you are, you will be greatly limited and sabotaged by your partner who is not ambitious, not hungry, not talented, and doesn’t support you. This person would be better off alone, free to grow leaps and bounds, unweighted by the wrong partner.
The Addict.
There’s no hope. If it’s not one thing to be addicted to, it’ll be another. Stay away from this person.
