You're confusing cause and effect, I fear

Everything I’d been thinking about was our future together, now none of that means anything.

In the same boat 2 years in. It hurts. Hope it gets better some day.

I wonder what the secret baltic/polish/sauce is that they improved so fast after the fall of the wall?

Why are moldova/ukraine/belarus struggling.

As you mention, the balkans haven't experienced the same rate of improvement after the fall of the ottomans.

Plenty of people in that situation who aren't Bezos rich, no?

Makes me think that explanation isn't sufficient.

Same. There's no gold standard, money is a social construct.

I wonder if the people who think like this, also assume "if bezos had less money, I'd have more".

If you already have enough money to burn, you can put money into various high risk areas and win overall.

That's the angel investor strategy.

There's also lower risk index funds, that simply invest in the biggest N companies.

15 year olds would be my guess
