I'm not talking about becoming a billionaire, but becoming (super) wealthy. Let's say you're well educated, work in science/tech/business, don't live in a third world country, don't have debt, your iq is higher than average and you havean extreme motivation and drive to learn and succeed?
What are some examples of people who succeeded later in life (but weren't prodigies)?
Are you making it? I was in the same position, depressed for a long time and now I'm better but I feel I've wasted years of my life since in order to make it in this system you need to be laser focused since like 16.
Hunter Parker
Crypto is the salvation my friend. Never before did high IQ people have it so easy to get rich by being the nerds they are
Justin Watson
I've been in crypto for a year now but I fell for the hodl meme and didn't make much gains. Since it takes years to learn trading, I'm afraid I'm already too late
It's too late as soon as you are conceived if you have shit genetics
Dylan Bailey
of course. good thing we're not pajeets, right?
Andrew Rogers
>Get an MBA from a highly ranked school >Work in small but growing companies (20m-100m) >Earn 150k - 250k depending on years of experience >Have equity in growing company >Grow company for 3-5 years and Private Equity buys it >Equity worth 300k - 1m (depending on position) >Repeat
This is pretty common and will set you up very well.
Not talking about quant level, just enough to earn a steady income, like 5-6k/week
Luis Reed
if you have to ask here you will not make it retard
Elijah Jenkins
Sounds too easy to be true
Matthew Reed
I'm not asking for life advice, just want to see what other people think. I'm currently going through a crisis and would really use a rare Jow Forums gem
Christian Reed
It's not easy at all. Getting accepted at a good B school is hard. Working at a growing company is very hard and you will work a LOT of hours if you're growing fast. It takes a certain kind of person.
Andrew Torres
he's probably 15
Brayden Hall
I'm only 20, but dropped out of secondary/HS at 15 and now have A*A*A* at A level. I never thought I was capable of going to uni at all and now I have grades above the average at oxford. Anything is possible if you BEElieve in yourself
Thanks fren, thats motivating. My biggest problem is constant self doubt
Xavier Edwards
Just know that if you own at least 21 Bitcoins within 10 years your struggles will be over. Completely free from the chains, your kids too.
Benjamin Gutierrez
Yeah I had this as well. I'm not sure about your circumstances but you can't ask people whether they "think you can do it". You'll basically get "No you can't you failed xxx before remember", either because they genuinely don't believe in you or from sheer jealousy and they want to drag you down. Spending less time on this shithole is a good idea aswell
Aiden Turner
>That 27 year old boomer that still thinks he has a chance of becoming super wealthy,
Yeah, those were my thoughts as well. I usually come here for the memes and ocassional rare good insight.
Generally, I suppose the saying that you habe to forget about everybody else and do your own thing is true, eventhough it's almost a meme now. I need to measure my success according to my inner goals, not external levels of success. We are all bound by our circumstances.
Xavier Phillips
My dad went back to trade school at 57, started a new business at 58, and sold it for $2 million dollars at 62.
Kayden Taylor
Yeah, I'm aware of the irony of starting this discussion here, but I suppose there's always that slim chance
Michael Morris
yeah pretty much this
Daniel Morris
I've been able to pick myself up after a financially devastating divorce. My NW went from $70k to $256K in a little less than 3 years. And they're all liquid investments (i.e. not locked up in a house or other property). In 6-10 years I'll be a millionaire. If crypto rebounds, I'll be there even sooner.
>i fell for the hodl meme By hodling, you will outperform vast majority of experienced traders.
...but you newfags never learn, do you?
Joseph Sullivan
Not exactly true. I'm not talking about retarded daytrading and excessive buying and selling. I'm talkig about implementing a tested and tweaked trading strategy/mechanism which you can stick to, as well as TA/FA. And of course, some luck.
Nicholas Foster
It takes literal years to gain the proficiency in trading to quit your day job. By the way, holding a bag doesn't constitute "experience". This is why crypto is such a trap for noobs, it's the stock market with x20 volatility, essentially gambling. You need to make hundreds of trades to be able to make a living actively trading, If you hold a position that is down more than 10% you are an emotional and weak trader. You are not ready yet. That kind of mindset will get you evicted your 2nd month when you quit your day job. If you don't know how to take a loss you're literally a first day trader
Adrian Davis
I find it's much better just to buy btc, bitcoin cash and eth and then just wait. Don't even look at the price. Once you get enough it makes you go insane due to stress. Instead just focus on advancing academically/career wise
Gabriel Wilson
I'm 28 going to be 29 and I'm just getting my shit together.
Paid off all my credit card debt, have a couple thousand in crypto, and got a modest job with some opportunities for advancement.
I'm going to start a business by the time I'm 30, and I hope to have profits from an aggressive trading strategy in crypto to pay for it.
I was involved with a heroin addict basically for the entirety of my 20's. It sucks but that shit taught me some dark lessons.
I agree completely with you. Couple of answers ago that was exactly my question. I dont want to quit my job to be a daytrader, but would like to have an additional 5-6k/week. I know that it takes years to become proficient, and I'm afraid that crypto will be much more mature in that time period, thus erasing possibilities for retail traders to be profitable.
Joseph Jenkins
Tnx fren, hopefully 'late bloomer' is not just a meme
Dylan Phillips
>Be 25 >Still can't find a job that pays more than a little above minimum wage >Brother is 30 >Got extremely lucky and basically handed an amazing job out of college. Benefits, pension, old boys club etc. >Tells me that I'm still too young to have a good job like that. >Tells me that he has friends his age that still don't have jobs. >Acts like this is totally normal and people are just supposed to accept this slavery. >mfw can't tell if my brother is retarded or just an asshole
