Paid off home, and car, and servants, in your early thirties?
Not really, no. Not unless you somehow made six figures from age 20 30
You can if you pick one, assuming you have a six figure income, you just have to live like you have a mid-five figure income. $50k+/year is a lot of money to throw at house/car/servant.
Thats just what I did. I was fortunate to have a well paying career for a while and I prioritized getting free from debt. Now I have time to be my own chef. Took almost 20 years. Not that complicated. No servants tho, thats just you being salty. I never had a rich family, which you assume is the only way. I grew up in poverty. My good luck came from elsewhwere.
So, you started making your fortune at thirteen?
Keep being salty. Im older than you seem to assume, but I did have summer jobs when I was 13. And no, hate alll you like, but I dont have a fortune, just a place to live. I have two shitty part-time jobs now. Be jealous of my shit wages, I guess.
No, you just can't read. The original post was talking about having all these things by 33. You saying it's doable over 20 years is completely missing the point. Plus the other commenter's math is 33yo - 20 years of work (claimed by you) = starting career at 13 years old.
At this point you're either being purposely obtuse or you're a complete idiot. Either way: shut the fuck up
Nah, youre not my supervisor. I get that you hate me for having been successful. It is typical. Keep downvoting, Ill keep living my best life. And actually, I did it in less than 20 years of income.. More like 15 of actual work punctuated by periods layoffs and disability. I still made it happen though. So keep hating. 😘
You're bragging to total strangers on the Internet.
Keep being mad, my guy.
