don't go to college

I wouldn't say I've made it but I'm in the 1% of people my age.

32 yrs old
Made YTD $367k, will finish above $500k +

My advice to you all. Don't always look for the paycheck. Everything you work for in life doesn't need to have a pay check attached to it.

Hard work pays off. Example, I worked 16.5 hrs on Friday, worked 13 hours on Saturday. I've taken 2 vacations in the last 10 years. Every year because of the industry I'm in I work 100+ days straight 12 hour days that's Monday thru Sunday no days off.

Invest in yourself all the time. Always be learning. Michael Jordan always had a coach or a mentor.

That was only 2 years ago for me. I’d say to spend all $10000 you have sitting in the bank on Bitcoin and to sell in January 2018. I could’ve had a house.

I'm very lucky . I love what I do every day. We have the ability to change people's lives daily. I am a partner in a financial planning firm. That I have managed since 2012.

When I first started I made $25k per year for two years but wasn't afraid to work 10 - 12 hour days.

I choose not to take vacation, because if I save now and build the team around me. Like I've have done. When I go to bed I'm still making money. When I'm 40, I can vacation for month and have $65k come in.

Wife , two kids boy (1) and girl (4)

I’d give myself winning powerball ticket numbers and superbowl scores for 2017 and 2018. Also Donald Trump is going to win, bet on him winning blue states like Pennslvania.

Everyone's definition of 'made it' is different.

Getting above average pay ($125k imo and depends on location) and up and still having a work life balance is making it.

Fuck more women and men. Get milsurp guns back when they were cheap.
I know it's against the rules but spend all the money you spent trying to drink yourself to death from 2011-13 on bitcoin and mine it with your shitty gpu.
