She sacrifice her 20s to build long term wealth. She worked 60-80 hours/week. Would you?

I also sacrificed my 20's working nights (3pm-12am) and most weekends to secure my financial-freedom later in life.

I'm 37 now and yea I own shyt plus I'm debt-free, but I've spent the last 2 years trying to make-up lost time with loved-ones that I mostly neglected for a decade or so.

Making that money meant I didn't get to make nearly as many memories with family & friends...

...and I'm not entirely sure it was worth it.

yeah everybody situation is different. i wouldnt say i sacrificed much during school but i was definitely working harder that a lot of people (like two jobs and in school) and maybe made it back to my hometown once a year. but now that i got a little cushion i go see my family several times a year... the only down part is that they are mostly still working every weekday lolol. i guess you need to get to the point where your whole circle can enjoy life. that would be the ideal. seems easier to do with a million dollar worth

She went to temple in the late 90s when it was like $12k a year for in state commuter students (it’s only $16k now if you live at home)
Even if she paid full price as a commuter student debt wouldn’t be an albatross
She went for free but it’s plenty of ways for ppl to finesse stuff like this
She’s being abrasive but I think it’s value in what she’s saying. We gotta change our mentality towards wealth building and sacrifice fun to a degree to achieve that
Instead of taking on $40k+ Loan a year to attend Ivy League or morehouse/spelman/howard
Go to state schools or smaller hbcu that ain’t going impress nobody at thanksgiving and hustle
Community college of Philadelphia repper here.
