Yes this still counts as "alone". Stop diminishing hard work and talent. A lot of parents give their kids 6 figure amounts, almost all of them don't do anything with it.

I don't even know what to say to that, I guess we're just straight up redefining words to make yourself feel good?
1) one person but they take VC funding
2) one person but they use open source solutions
3) one person but they live with their parents

If you live your life thinking you could be great if you only had some 6 figure payout, you're delusional. Building something is hard.
Houses for sure, but cash? Not that common.
I am great at building without 6 figures, heck I build great things for free, why? Cuz its also my hobby.
