Mouahahahahahaahah.
So the "path" to financial independance mainly involves getting a 100k/year from day one.
I hope it will inspire and convince all these people who earn below the US median salary range of 47k/year. (and they range in all age categories, not 20 years old engineers).
That guy is seriously delusional.
- soufron 5y agoIt would have been more interesting that he writes on how it was complicated for him to reach financial independence even when he earned 100k/year from day one and more than 600k/year 12 years later. Just imagine how it's impossible for someone with 47k/year! And that's the MEDIAN salary range in the US! But apparently that thought escaped him, whatever.

- ZephyrBlu 5y agoThe point is that it's not much of a path when you start at $100k. If you're earning $100k with zero experience, your salary cap is likely to be pretty high. With a starting salary that high I think you're very likely to easily achieve financial independence, barring a catastrophic fuck up.
