Millionaires on Blind - need advice!

How did you get to breaking the $1m mark? Did you make strategic choices to work for startups / bit the bullet and kept climbing the corporate ladder while your big tech stock skyrocketed / did you make specific choices wrt investing your capital / any other choices that gave you windfall gains TC 200k, 5 YoE (0.5 in tech)

Invest as much as u can. Live cheaply as possible. Make as much as u can. Bam

^ this. You earn 200k. Pretty easy to save money if you want to.

Amazon vpgR13 Nov 11, 2019

Are you talking about net worth or TC? Because with a TC of 200k you’ll get there by maxing out a 401k and IRA alone

Walmart mooneyy OP Nov 11, 2019

The goal is not to hit just $1m, its to make that much per annum eventually, through TC or other means

Moving business + storage. Yea it's old school but I clear close to 1.2M in profit every year. I work about 20hrs a week. All these suckers on Blind chasing startups and Rsus...they really are the Blind leading the Blind. Sure, I don't have "FAANG" on my LinkedIn, but who honestly cares besides some SWEs?

How can I get into the moving/storage business?

Northrop Grumman NGer Nov 11, 2019

You talking about mini storage? How profitable is that aspect of you business?

Went into quant finance with basically this goal in mind. It ain’t ever going to make me a billionaire (too late for that), but if you stick with it, making a buck is almost inevitable.
