I don't have a fortune. I compare myself to Fish. I am where he was 15 years ago. Making lots of money, and blowing tons too. There are tons of games out there to take to you advantage, and when people see you doing it, they think, WOW that is the life!
It is a grind, for sure. I am self made, no one has helped me. I do well for myself, and each day brings on a new challenge.
But in reality, I compare myself to Fish, a lot of the same qualities. I think he is where I will be in 15 years. But was not where I am at now at 31. Sounds, weird, but I know Fish knows what I am talking about.
I guarntee Fish has some stories from his late 2o's and 30's, hell I know I do. The swings are unreal when you live on the edge.

I was very fortunate to be raised in a comfortable family.My pop made a lot of money in industrial real estate.
In order to be my own man, I had to leave the nest and the country. The money isn't worth it if you have people controlling everything you do.

NO struggles when i was growing up at home.
Nowdays Money is just something to keep score with, it does not have the value that it did back then, by NO means. With inflation and Everything going up no telling where and if this trend will ever stop! Struggles came much later in life for me.
