The question is not, “Can you do better?”
No matter your situation the answer is yes.
Whether you are flipping hamburgers for minimal wages, flipping homes for thousands, or flipping stocks and bonds for millions, and whether you love what you’re doing or hate every minute of what you’re doing, you can and must do better for it is a character issue and also a pathway for improving your situation no matter what it is now.
