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

WHY we mad at her?


She did what we are are supposed to do but is missing a family, but if she still can have kids she has legacy and resources

I’m trying to be like her and get out of the matrix.

Catch up and put the luxury shyt down unless you’re StockXing it

Big picture thinking

60-80 working week:weirdo:

I used to be able to do it during my virgin single life, now I can barely survive a 40 hour week.

Life is about balance, enjoy the journey too
Yep. At an internship years ago when I was still in my teens my old manager always stressed to me.. In life, everything in modération.

No matter if she sound insecure or sound like a dikk to people, she still à black woman who embodies black excellence with what she's been able to achieve in short amount of time.

But just as easily as she's trying to stunt with that tweet, she could go for a routine regular check-up tomorrow and find out she has terminal cancer.

All of a sudden all that money won't mean shyt as much as those 20s she sacrificed.

I'll gladly take enjoying my 20s at the cost of delaying my retirement few more years til 50

She's overcompensating with her bravado clearly, but shout out to her for her achievements. If she's looking to inspire and motivate people, she can reach more people if she changes her approach...

There is a basic blueprint on how to achieve financial freedom but there are different routes to get there. Everyone doesn't have to bush their youth completely...

Good luck to her...

She looks good for 41 and being millionaire doesnt hurt lol

Tho posting screenshots of your bank account balance/ gains on social media, she loses points, too gaudy for me

I salute her hustle and 60-80 hour weeks in your 20s and 30s to get to 7 figure assets in your 40s... its impressive

Not everybody is built for that though. Is she happy? If she would have spent $500k (about 1/6th of her net worth) she might have a better quality of life than just saving it for the sake of a higher balance. The reality is there is some happiness or at least contentment and convenience that comes with spending, having nice things and not being uber thrifty .. Clearly though thats not her end game.

I think the conservative middle ground is the best financial approach ultimately. Earn as much as you can (ask for raises/ market yourself aggressively, take classes, get certifications, etc) pay off debts (easier said than done I know), save at a respectable clip, make some investments and ENJOY some disposable income in your 20s, 30s and 40s. You'll have the opportunity to make more money but you never get the time back

Y'all need to realize she's trying to convince herself not us :yeshrug:

This is just her needing social validation to reinforce a decision she made knowing she can't change it if she wanted. Time waits for no one.

I commend her work ethic though

No lies told. I'd be able to commend her more if she acknowledged the leg up she had by not having student loan debt instead of adhering to patently false "bootstrap" taking points but :yeshrug:
. That money-time trade-off she made is always a tricky one because you can't buy time with money.

The problem with stories like this is that they don’t highlight the emotional and sociologically sacrifices made in pursuit of material gain.

You miss things like your first heart break, first kiss, living together with a significant other, determining true friendships, how to have work/life balance, finding your hobbies and interests and etc.

You end up having to learn a lot of these lessons while the stakes are a lot higher with potential for greater losses.

Instead of your first run in with a dead beat being while you live with your parents working at the grocery store you are running into this person while you have a six figure income, house, and car....instead of tricking off buying a pair of pants and flowers you going on trips and paying bills.

Since you’re green in relationships you end up marrying this person and now the separation includes a baby, child support, and alimony all because you didn’t take the time to learn relationships when you were younger.

This is a really good point that I didn't think about. Very real.

Tired of these folks begging for people to acknowledge their existence and to validate them through social media trash but at the same time looking down on the very same people they are begging for attention from on some "I'm better than you".:usure:

And what also gets me is theres always people that are willing to give them that attention instead of doing the right thing which is ignoring them. Straight ass backwards.

She isnt saying anything yet somehow someway this is 11 pages. Shes a nobody. Treat as such. Let her do whatever she does. She obviously isnt satisfied with buying anything she wants. She hasn't figured out a way to buy herself constant attention which is what shes begging for.


Yall fell into the trap and still keeping it going.

The problem nowadays is folks aren't calling these constant attention seekers, attention addicts, clout chasers out and putting them in check like fukk off already. Too many of these types around doing all sorts of shyt for attention and they aren't contributing anything. They arent making the world a better place. Nine times out of ten they are draining the life out of other people or something else, ruining shyt. They aren't kids and even if they were kids, they would need a healthy level of attention otherwise they are gonna grow up to be fukked up if they get too much or too little of it. We all need some level of attention but you have so many folks nowadays that are addicted to it that they literally dont know how to control themselves so...

I applaud her financial success but you can definitely tell she feels some kinda way for sacrificing her youth.

You got that level of wealth and the only thing you can talk about is how you can buy some dumb shyt.
People need to understand that feeling they're trying to mask...bleeds through strongly on social media

No one wants to sacrifice their 20s lol
