I forgot to add that vast majority of my uni friends did not set up multiple streams of income; sideline, business venture, rental, dividends, etc etc. Most of them placed their hopes on their degrees and willingness to work long hours in order to be promoted. It seemed like the natural choice for most fresh grads back then and even today. Some may succeed and rise to become CEOs or CFOs, but vast majority do not make it. They end up as salary slaves, and eventually end up either with poor health and nothing to show for it, or get prematurely retrenched and replaced by foreign trash. Two of my uni friends already were already driving taxis by the time they reached 40. Ten years ago, they were still pubbing, eating regularly at posh restaurants and holidaying to Europe.
Are your 2 friends with family or are they still single
