if you are making money online you are dealing with the same economy that we all are but your living expenses are much much lower. its much cheaper to retire in the third world than the first.

as for your pack of cards theory, i can agree but shouldn't success be evaluated more based on where you started rather than where you end up? for someone who started in the gutter and ended up middle class, that is a success story for them but not to richie rich who may of started with connections, start up money and paid education. to him success is on a much higher level but also easier to achieve. look at someone privileged like george bush jr. ran multiple businesses into the ground, still got to live the good life and then became president. if he had been born into a one room shack in the swamps of louisiana he'd probably still be there.
