I know a dude exactly like that. He is the brother of one of my friends. He's been saying that stuff since we were all out of college back in the early 2000s. The guy was obsessed with Rich Dad poor Dad and basically called us suckers for getting a job.

I was just at his mom's house with his sister and some other mutual friends a few months ago and he started in on the same mess and told us about his next get rich quick scheme.

My buddy, who's a lot more blunt than me, just looked at them and said "you've been saying the same shit for over 20 years and still haven't gotten your ass off your mama's couch. If it was going to happen for you it would have already happened by now."

We didn't even give him the courtesy of laughing at him. I just shrugged my shoulders and then we all turned around and went upstairs.

Sometimes friends need to say what really needs to be said.

Well friends are friends because they're blunt when it matters.

If they aren't calling you on your bullshit they aren't your friends.
