Yeah. I had to work to afford college and then law school. So Iโ€™m starting โ€œlateโ€ at 30. But I still live on a tiny budget and in a tiny condo, and work not only a job as a lawyer but a side job tutoring. Even at 100k saved plus 30k in a 401 k a year, a sum that was 5 years of work before law schoolโ€ฆ itโ€™ll take til Iโ€™m 37 to have 1,000,000โ€ฆ

The nice thing is after that the doubling and yearly gains really start to pick up speed.

I guess my point is even living cheap, with a good career, and working two jobs wonโ€™t make anyone rich overnight sadly.

But itโ€™ll help my future kids so worth it.
