That list doesn't sound half bad tbh
Buffett is a bastard but he's a clever bastard.
Yeah, but putting all of them together, assuming each one to be relevant at the same time, that means you already have thousands of disposable income every month.
And taking them individually doesn't get much better. How many people are gambling? How many people spend that much money on Skincare? How many people who struggle buying a home, buy new cars too often?

The list isn't terrible, but the current cost of developing oneself is getting pretty prohibitive for a lot of folks due to the cost of food and housing. If you're barely scraping by it's difficult to go take a class or get a professional certificate for even a couple of hundred bucks.
