I work an easy 9-5 that pays well. Minimal other expenses because I'm living at home and hoarding a massive down payment for my house that I'll buy in 2 years.

Paid for my first three american sports cars with table waiting money while in college. Lived at home, parents paid for school. I paid for fun. After living modestly for serval years after school, I splurged on a new G35, paid cash, then new 335i, then a couple of kids houses and now a new TTRS.

So in a nut shell, started out with a little luck, worked hard, made some good decisions, rewarded in business, blessed by God. Seriously, I could have been born in North Korea, but I was not. Best luck ever, USA!

Trying to make a dollar out of 0.15 cents!

Revlis · 04-26-2013, 04:57 AM

15 years of real hard work after college. Now I don't work and I hit the Wife Lottery which helps a lot.

I do what I want, she has a career she loves that pays well.

No kids, no worries.

Been thinking about taking up welding though... I love burning metal with fire, would be a useful life skill to add on as well. Gotta have skills, build shit.

techietaichi · 04-26-2013, 09:02 AM

Government contracted. Feds love to give away our tax money, so I'm there to get some of mine back! I also look for deals on the net and if I don't deem it "killer", I usually don't need it. Watch who you deal with, some predators love the taste of beemer.

feedmyfast · 04-26-2013, 10:26 AM

PURE LUCK!!! snagged a corporate job, climbed up. started staying home more than running the streets popping bottles... but the annual bonus does help too LOL

I have a Masters Degree. Never even mounted it, probably in the bottom of my closet somewhere. School is a joke.

Once you know the game, it's like shooting fish in a barrel. I graduated from my Master's program with a 4.0 and never even tried...and we are talking about a D1 school, not some online Phoenix bullsh*t. Completely overrated.

As far as money goes, I've spent money on my car but only when it comes to required maintenance. Otherwise I just put gas in it...
