How much is a "multi-millionaire" here, 3ish million or 50ish million? Because 40 isn't that young if you're not deep enough into the millions to comfortably retire.
My NW is between 2 and 3 million in my low-to-mid 30's and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about going for moonshots. If I could even just double my money, I'd retire tomorrow. Would love to retire before 35.
Started saving late I guess at 30. Lived hard and 3 lifetimes before that- so grateful for everything. Feel very content and money has never contributed more than other things for me in that way. I drive a hyundai lol
I feel you there brother. I was a NEET until 26 myself. I get by nowadays living like a hermit. I don't even own a car.
Though I wouldn't say I lived hard. Grew up hard, but always got lucky and fell into opportunity. I respect the hustle you've pulled together in the last decade, and it seems very similar to mine (though likely with harder work and bigger balls). I had the luxury of accidentally'ing into big tech with skills I taught myself as a teen, otherwise I would've suicided around 26 when I had nothing going for me.
Right now I just want enough money to never have to care about money again. If I didn't want a family, I'd already be there. Sadly, my years have made me greedy enough to want a legacy.
