Steve,

In the Avatar article you wrote:

If you’ve been stuck in a state of financial scarcity for longer than you’d like, it means you haven’t yet put in the time to master one of real life’s wealth building strategies. There are many to choose from, so pick a strategy that’s fun for you....You can create stuff and sell it. You can be a trader (buy low, sell high). You can get paid to support and/or optimize other people’s wealth building systems. You can acquire income-generating and/or appreciating assets. You can bring people together for lucrative deals in exchange for a fair cut. You can become a performer or entertainer. Real life has more wealth building opportunities than all the virtual worlds combined.

Aren't some of these out of line with the advice in your book where you talking about the concept of "mooching":


"Taking advantage of market inefficiencies to extract money without contributing any substantial value"

I'd been interested in real estate and/or stocks but found your opinion on these in your book to be quite valid. Just wondering if you might explain this further.
