Sadly, the time when you should be helping yourself, is the time you are least able to. You have to be one of the few that start a business in their teenhood. When their problem is actually their parent's problem, and they have some freedom to think, and some friends.

In adulthood, the system works to weaken and trap you at every opportunity, almost everyone is fake and predatory, draining your time and energy. If you have time, you don't have energy. And really, one of the ways to break free is to design and run a business. This is actually difficult to do nowadays, as almost every niche is filled. You need the time, money, and energy to beat out your competition.

One form it takes is being an indie developer or artist for example, but not everyone can do it, and it takes time to learn how to.

Time an adult can hardly afford to risk!
