Dropped out of HS at 16, Self made multi-millionaire by 18 (VID)

nice book list, lol

I know rite?

I quickly read through "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and honestly it's a joke. Just read the beginning of "Think and Grow Rich" and feel it doesn't have much concrete to offer. These books may offer inspiration but that's about it.

However, the two by Thomas Stanley confirm what I believe about the spending habits of the rich...definitely cemented in my mind the lifestyle that I'm living.




Can't believe I responded to a red, I feel so dirty.

This is true, but do you really want to live and spend like a pauper your whole life so you can have a nice little nest egg? **** that...

i cry everytime i see people do this, cos im nearly going to university but sometimes i dont feel like it, i wana get rich without uni.

why? be happy for him, jealousy will get you nowhere near that bro.

[Frank Drebin]

Maybe it is not that extreme for a risk, but it still is a risk. It is a risk leaving school to start an online business, if it fails; u end up wasting time. Time is the risk. playing it safe means staying in school like everybody else.

At 16 you don't know sh!t about the real world or risk. I do see your point, but not with this kid. There's a 100 others just like him working for $8 bucks an hour right now.

No, read my prior post about the importance of having a high paying job. Make 150k a year and live like your making 80. $80 dollar jeans instead of $380. Drive a 5-8 year old vehicle instead of leasing every two years. Maybe vacation in Mexico instead of Tahiti, etc. Put all that extra cash on glittery stuff towards buying assets. It's really too tough to do unless you make an above average wage.

gone for a run brb

Here's a pretty amazing story of a guy from India who dropped out of High School by 16, and became self made multi millionaire by 18.

now now many miscers can do that?

in b4 10k/day CEO

My uncle was also an entrepreneur from India who sold his company for hundreds of millions, and had a grade 4 education. No high school or junior high. However it took him a long while to become rich, unlike this guy. He started a lumber company in Western Canada several decades ago. There was no internet back then though. My uncle and family are also Sikh Punjabs like this guy too.

[ZILLAA]

nice way to get visitors to your site OP

[TheAsianMan]

bill gates did the same ****.

[deadfingers]

uni won't necessarily get you rich. ii think becoming rich has to do with the person more than anything

This.

in after some uneducated retards make jokes about school not being necessary to make themselves feel better about the fact that they didn't get to college.

going to college doesn't mean you'll be "educated". Tons of tards go to college and waste their life and end up with thousands in debt. College is great if you have great drive, but not needed .

The quickest and most simplest way to get the things you desire the most in life is getting a good paying job so you have discretionary income to spend. You get a good paying job by picking a legit major and outworking those around you.

Our generation is too busy trying to find excuses not to WORK HARD.

There is no secret to success. Everything you desire can be achieved through hard work and remianing disciplined.

Very few rich people got rich by getting lucky. The majority worked hard and put in the time and sacrifice.

edit: 3000 posts

This, lulz at people saying "he got lucky". These are the same people that think anyone who gets ahead of them in life got there by chance or luck because they don't want to admit that some people worked harder than them. Winning the lottery is luck.

Just IMO, doctors can be broke and teachers can be millionaires, it's all on how you spend and invest.

A household with a doctor and a middle level manager making a combined 300k per year cannot be broke. They can spend absolutely all of their money that year, but they are still living a 300k/year lifestyle, which is phenomenal. So what if he has 0$ in cash right now, he has things that he chose to buy with that money that improved his life! That is the point of earning money.

Enough of this bull**** by Thomas Staley trying to say those people are depraved or not wealthy. His standard of wealth is how much money you have in the bank account doing absolutely nothing for you right now, not affecting your quality of life. Oh great its so awesome to have some money not doing anything for me, hoooray. Other people want to live a life full of healthy and delicious food, a comfortable house, a maid so they don't have to spend time doing jobs they hate, great education for their kids, etc.

quote from Good Will Hunting has always stuck out to me and reminds me of this thread:

Actually his definiton of wealth is how long you could sustain your current quality of life if you were to lose your income. So the 300k couple is only rich as long as they are working. If one or both of them should lose their job for a year are they still rich? Or will they have to start selling some of the nice toys that they have.

I plan on becoming financially independent of my employer, I have to make sacrifices to do so but I guess that's whats important to me. I'll live a little below my means and buy income producing or appreciating assets with my disposable income instead of depreciating assets such as luxury cars, expensive clothing or extravagant vacations. If I made 100k a year more I could have the best of both worlds I guess.

To each their own.

give an idiot like me some examples appreciating assets

[GoingPlaces]

well i started training at 155 lb and became a monster

how many miscers can do that?

too bad you're an exposed fraud ******* GTFO

[DeathByLight]

too bad you're an exposed fraud ******* GTFO

aware me?

[Frank Drebin]

give an idiot like me some examples appreciating assets

My opinion:

Anything that has the potential to appreciate without costing me money from my bottom line.


ie) A rental property that pays for itself will likely be worth more in 30 years than it is now. A vacation home will likely be worth more as well but creates no income to pay for the mortgage etc.

Good stocks will likely be worth more in 30 years than they are now. I'd rather put 50k in the market and drive a 25k vehicle than drive an 80k Mercades.

I don't know much about franchises, but maybe a silent partner in buying a franchise that would provide passive income. Then use the passive income to buy luxuries.


Not saying don't treat yourself, just know the difference between a luxury and an investment.

[BO$$]

Reminds me of myself, but he didnt **** up.
I actually worked with him, dead srs.
I owned an online advertising agency which grossed well over a million a year for 2+ years. If I actually kept with it, I couldve sold it for $40 mil too, but I got lazy and ****ed it all up.

Kudos to him!

you a millionaire then brah?

[Who?]

Could have been asked better questions....

For every one dropout that happens to make it big, there are thousands of dropouts who ultimately fail in life. I think I'll stick with attending college then trying to land a legit job.

True, it's all about who can take risks and who wants a safe way out.
