My Plan For Generational Wealth

Step 1: Break into Investment Banking and rise the ranks to become comfortably rich. Stack this wealth and be smart with it. Don't spend too much.

Step 2: Find a wife + Have a kid. The wife needs to be very tall and very strong. I personally am very tall so our kid is physically blessed. Also, multiple kids are preferred for the heightened odds of kid being 6'6+

Step 3: Use all the money I saved up (and hopefully my wife as well) to invest in this kid and make him genuinely the GOAT of basketball. He will train EXTREMELY HARD and I will likely not be working at this point and fully invest in him.

Step 4: Get him to the NBA, he will train and become very good and get a good contract.

Step 4b: If that fails, he will certainly be good enough to get into a HYPSM and will be chillin and can definitely go somewhere. However the path to generational wealth is slowed.


Foolproof? What am I missing?

step 5. yolo your entire retirement account into semis options so you either make tens of millions or your kid is forced to care for you in your old age

Lot of things could go wrong here. IMO the easiest part of this is getting the tall girl. That said I think you should be careful choosing to have children that are too tall. A 6'3 guy can still be good at basketball and play for the NBA. 6'6 is a bit of a detriment. Being too tall shortens lifespan and has to make your heart work harder. Many things in his life will be difficult from needing clothes that fit a super tall guy, to having longer limbs and further range of motion for lifts at the gym. Muscle won't look the same on him because it's spread out over a taller frame. He'll have to have twice the size to look as big/strong.

The wife needs to be very tall and very strong. I personally am very tall so our kid is physically blessed.

You are missing a key step here. Instead of wasting precious time attempting to find a Tall and Strong Wife, you should consider acquiring a Tall and Strong Man - this will serve as a clever "cheat code" that will permit you to allocate more of your energy to Excel so you may properly rise through the ranks of IB. You will also unlock 1000XP "DEI Promotion" skill, which is extremely important in this day and age. 

While you cannot birth your future Wemby with this new Tall and Strong Man, you can adopt a Tall and NBA Baby who will ensure your legacy continues. Best of luck to you and keep me updated.
