Oneitis: probably the noob trap that statistically ends the highest amount of players runs early on. Baby by 23 alcoholic by 30
Daytrading: in general this is not good xp for most players but its DEFINITELY not lucrative when youre a noob. This is for mid game high iq high xp players and even then its not a good strat
Aimless college: degree is statistically important but going into debt with no specific plan or lucrative skill you intend to become a master at is a huge detrimental noob trap. Sometimes it can be important to wait off college until you decide something lucrative. College for social life is a noob trap. If you are a chud your college life will be lonely and sad and if you are handsome you will have a healthy social life with or without college. Most people in college dont interact much nowadays.
Aimless no college: skipping college to focus on developing a lucrative skill or brand can be a high yp yielding method if you are high iq, low inhib, and you are prepared for the grind, but if you do not have a specific plan you intend to focus on instead this can be a huge noob trap. Also most careers, even niche trades, will benefit from some kindof of degree to break you past the blue collar levels. Sometimes it can be important to wait off college until you decide something lucrative
Grifter courses: if someone is selling you a course on how to make money they are grifting 100% of the time. If whatever strategy they had was so good they would just scale it. THAT BEING SAID if a course is teaching you how to get better at a skill, they can be legitimate, if the course is teaching you how to make money from that skill, its a grift. For example someone might sell you a course on playing guitar and its legitimate but someone selling a course on how to land high paying gigs is probably a grifter.
Complacency: if you do find a decent job, decent income, or decent way to support a lifestyle you are comfortable with, its extremely easy to become complacent, abandon your goals, and 10 years pass and youre now 30 with no accomplishments and nothing exciting to talk about and no talents wondering what happened like Jim Halpert in the office. At the risk of sounding like a guru you should literally constantly be improving every single day, ideally you should have a whiteboard with weekly, daily, monthly, yearly, and 5 year goals written down, and you should hit them daily. Baby step goals, maybe you hit a new pr one day, you successfully were in a deficit, you drank a gallon of water, you learned a new thing, you saved a certain amount of money. Whatever they are, set simple and achievable goals for yourself that will yield results long term and meet those goals daily. Not only will this yield long term success but its generally fulfilling and will make you happier. A massive majority of people, even extremely successful people, are unable to do this, its why theyre so fat and lazy and unhappy, they cant keep up with basic daily goals. This is the type of stuff gurus talk about that is actually right, you just dont need to buy a course, you instead need to buy a white board.
Moneymaxxing: often the hyperprioritization of money will leave you frustrated, confused, lost, and ultimately you'll have made less money after 5 years than had you just wagecucked. Live your life, focus on improving skills, and take opportunities as they arise, its very easy to overwhelm yourself with avenues and never go down one.
Getting rich quick/making money online: you will run into many grifts and end up losing a lot of money, do not focus on trying to do this, but also dont listen to bluepillers
Not making money online/listening to bluepiller bucket crabs/not taking advantage of opportunities: while its easy to become brainwashed by the redpill gurus, its also very easy to become brainwashed by the bluepilled zog machine propaganda that makes you feel like wagecucking is the only possible method of getting a bag. There are plenty of unconventional yet unsustainable ways to make money online and its important to take advantage of the opportunities as they arise in order to maximize your income long term. Don't quit your day job for them, but be aware they exist, dont fall for bluepilled boomers who dont understand the digital era. People DO absolutely make side incomes online in a variety of ways, and only miserable delusuonal coping wagecucks will try and convince you otherwise, not a single financially independent person will tell you its not possible (unless they make money doing it like that caden guy), only the coping wagies and the zog machine parrots.
A career: lucrative opportunities are constantly changing in today's world, learning has gotten easier, trade secrets and tribal knowledge are starting to dissappear. While you should focus on developing a mastery, you shouldn't tunnel vision on a specific industry or specialty, director level employees are almost never specialists of any kind, theyre chameleons. One day they could be working for a tech company the next a manufacturing company. A career is a bridge not a destination.
401k: you should have more of a retirement plan than just a 401k. 401k is to make max employer match and transfer it into IRAS nothing more nothing less. Not having complete full control over hundreds of thousands of dollars you're investing is hilariously goyish behavior
Military: massive noob trap, the incentives are exciting until you actually do the math and weigh the cost of time and effort you will spend vs free college and a stipend after a decade. You'd be better off working 80 hours a week for 4 yrs straight and saving up a shit ton of money.
Trades: easy noob trap. People talking about how good trades are are poor. You are heavily capped in trades and will be ultimately working for some guy with a degree who makes double you to push a few buttons a day no matter how skilled of a tradesmen you are. People dont consider how much effort they will be putting in at their jobs. Trades are tiring exhausting work they pay good because noone wants to do it and it sucks.
Money oriented goals: often times if you are doing something to make money you will get bored and burn out and also feel aimless. Even people like influencers were originally focused on getting likes and followers originally rather than making money, they were obsessively consumed by how to get more views just for the sake of getting more views. Your goals need to be simple and tangible and money will come. Goals also feel much more achievable when you look at them this way because they dont become mentally associated with the goyim hopeless programming installed in all our minds when it comes to any money making endeavor.
Leaving home too early: if your parents allow you to stay on low or no rent, you should wait until you are completely financially comfortable living alone and have 6+ months savings before moving out. This is such a ridiculously huge boost for the rest of your life. Its like starting an MMO with an xp boost dlc and a fully geared out character. This decision is genuinely life changing because if you move out too early its very easy to get stuck in a paycheck to paycheck loop thats extremely difficult to escape.
Scaling living expenses with income: one of the biggest goy brainwashes is the idea that you should scale your lifestyle expenses relative to your income. Completely fucking braindead. Your living expenses should be fixed regardless of how much you make. If youre the type of person who decides to move into a 2,500 apartment because you got a 6 figure job youre a fucking retard tbh.
Looksmaxxing/blackpill: this shit will consume your whole ass life if you arent careful, its a very powerful ideology and its important to keep it in the back of your mind or else you will turn into a rotten neet chud. That being said the daily goal setting earlier should have looksmaxxing related goals (saving for surgery fund, calorie deficit, weightlifting goals, skincare progress, etc). Treat it like a game or it will consume you.
Video games: I love video games, but its very easy to accomplish some goals in a video game and feel accomplished for the day when you didnt actually do jack shit. You have to be careful with this. Its so easy to use these as a form complacency or procrastination.
Avoid these noob traps and you'll be successful even if youre low iq tbh
