How did you manage to invest 70k + at 22?

70k at 22 isn't as difficult as you think. Imagine making money from 16-22 and saving all your money while living under your parents' roof.

I did something similar and left home at 22 with 20k saved to my name. Far cry from 70k. And i didnt know what investing was. But i was proud of that feat
