The Rules

This reminds me of that personal trainer fitbro a few years back who thought fat people were just lazy...so he stopped being a fitbro for 30 days to put on weight and spent the next several weeks going back to being a fitbro to show fat people that it's not that hard to lose weight and get into shape.

To be fair getting thin is incredibly simple. You just start eating less. No luck or resources needed. It's extremely hard psychologically of course.

But making a million dollars in 1 year is not as simple. You can't just take a single action repeatedly and it'll happen.

Any person can become fit. There's a way to do it and it works if you just stick to it. This does not apply to becoming rich.
