    I’m the failure in my friend group, they’re all highly paid software engineers and I’m a POS factory schmuck. But I have both experiences between a few of them. One of them is cheap as shit, made his wife deal with a broken graphics card where the screen kept going black in the middle of playing for years, while my other friend keeps buying me games he wants me to play with him so I reciprocate when there’s one I want him to play lol

        They’re smart and I’m not. People can have different capabilities. I happen to be pretty limited as I’m just stupid.

          Oh no, like how did you end up making friends with all these people? In my experience highly paid tech people are only friends with and only date other highly paid tech peopel

            Probably school or childhood friends.

            I still hang with my childhood friend who is a CFO of a small real estate development firm despite being below the poverty line myself.

            And to be fair to him he hates his job and his boss and peers and is looking for another position
