My comment wasn't about me specifically. I've done pretty well for myself and I suspect most people on this board have as well. My point was really that of the Person A and B scenarios you mention, there are also hundreds of thousands of examples of people trying 100% to be Person B but the circumstances simply do not play out in their favor.
I don't think our views need to be incompatible. People should always hustle, hope, dream, and work to their fullest. Sometimes in spite of all that they could use some help. In any case I appreciate the civil discussion.
