I've found the same thing over my lifetime.. I've made money in different ways and when friends say they have no money i tell them how to make some and even offer them the tools to do it... But nope its either too complicated too time consuming or not worth the effort.
Its the same with advice.. People don't want to listen they seem to want to make their own mistakes before they learn anything.. I've always been the one to learn from other peoples mistakes.. Its less expensive and hell of a lot less hassle.
