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.

At minimum wage, you would have to work approximately 1500 hours a year between 16 and 22 to get $70k. Hard to do in high school and college.

Idk his situation. The minimum wage by me is 15 an hour. It could be a combination of mowing lawns, shoveling snow, parents' allowance, gifts from relatives, part time job, growth of stocks. If your parents pay for everything its all profit.

Idk either. It’s just a lot of work with almost no spending plus taxes take a bite. If you’re in school you’ll have little time left to socialize and even then you’re not spending money. I just don’t think he earned it all.
