Comment on Get ahead by not shooting yourself in the footparent

Comments

That's a corollary: Don't have kids. They're like shooting your life in the foot with a howitzer. Also, don't get married; the author says they got lucky, but we'll have to see the long term before you can make that conclusion. In fact, just stay away from other people. They are an emotional and financial liability.

(This is sarcasm, of course, although I suspect the author is serious about avoiding things that many people find meaningful.)

Getting ahead is the most important thing in life!

That's right. And not for its intrinsic value, but to impress others!
