If you making the kind of money it sounds like you guys are making then you should have a couple million locked up so no matter what happens you can retire if you "change your mind" in the future  |
My success came very fast. I remember when i started I made $3000 a month very quickly and then within 10 months I was making more than $30,000 a month. I'm very logical and reasonable in my thought process. There is no way I should have been making that money. I didn't deserve it. So based on that thinking I always felt the end was always very near and I'd wake up one day and the dream would be over. I always wanted to be in a situation if that day came I could walk away and say I Crushed It, saved enough to never work again and I have no regrets. I see so many guys that have blown it all and have nothing to show for it. The most important thing to me isn't houses, cars, trips, it's 100% the amount I have saved.
I have to admit I'm like you. I'd love to know how much people have set aside for the future. When I have industry friends who blow money I try to pull them aside and share with them my thinking. There are a lot of people that should have a few million set aside and set for life. Instead they are in debt and have NOTHING but memories to show for it.
