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

That is great for her. No need to start a thread to have black men and women argue with each other.

what job that is paying 15 do you know of that would let you get 40 hours of overtime a week....not once....but for a whole year?

kudos to this lady but she was obviously blessed with a optimal situation and is trying to lord over people who haven't.
Aerospace.
Easy.
Hourly guys are starting over $15 an hour (in california) and if they have they skills they can work
12 hours a day, every day, unless there's a mandatory holiday or something.

I don't know about OTHER professions but in my field an unusual work life balance and the money
that comes with it are pretty normal.

:unimpressed:She couldn’t get a man to wife her by college end and sold herself this lie to compensate for being unwifeable.

Guarantee this lady be jealous of other women when they say they man bought them this or that.

So you see my post regarding her behavior/character and you talk about her business acumen?

People are all too comfortable to show others exactly who they are on social media so no i won't give her tha benefit of tha doubt.

my original post was to those criticizing her business acumen. makes no sense. so yeah, im staying on my topic.

also, if you gonna criticize her for allegedly being an a$$hole (if it comes down to it, considering the economic state of the majority... some people should have had an hard ass teach them about finance and business. maybe they would have got the point lol. if there is something someone shouldn't sugarcoat about, maybe its business knowledge :yeshrug:) im going to assume you dont post in the same manner and dont rep people up who post in the same manner on here?:ld:

nah, the internet thrives off sass lol. you're opening line in response to my perfectly valid post (again, my point is why is her business hustle in question other than the fact that people are mad and hating) was "your so full of shyt" :francis:

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.

The worse case is being lonely with no game and inability to make friends. You have a lot of disposable income but find out that the bank ain’t there to comfort you when you’ve had a bad day, your Stock Portfolio can’t take you out on a date, and your IRA ain’t sex you all night and cuddle you in the morning.
this is so true

congrats to the woman, but your gonna be giving up on living and enjoying life.

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.

That's great for her, but that's nothing to brag about.

I think the goal should always be to strive for a balance and to start saving and/or investing early. The earlier you start, the sooner you will reach your goals. Finding a balance allows you to still live (within reason, of course) and not have to say "I sacrificed my 20s." You won't have to sacrifice if you just make sound financial decisions with your end-goal in mind.

As soon as someone uses their success to put other people down, you already know everything you need to know. The trade off of sacrificing your time for money is a false choice. Time is the most precious resource you have. You can't get it back. If she would have worked that hard because she was genuinely passionate about what she was doing, I'd respect it. But slaving away, working 60-80 hour weeks for her whole 20s, at a job she's not really passionate about, just to get to 41 and stunt on other people about how hard she worked is just bizarre to me.

There's a reason entrepreneurs don't run around stunting on twitter bragging about how hard they work and how much money they have. Look at Bill Gates, dude was a workaholic. He's been the world's richest man for how long and he still grinds away. Look at Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos. Do you think they do things for money? Or Steve Jobs? From the way she talks, you can tell she prioritizes money over the actual experience/journey. Now there's nothing wrong with that, but I guarantee you when she was working those long hours, she was probably super jealous of all the people enjoying their lives. So now that she has money, she uses her financial success to shyt on other people.

Imagine that. Having all that money, and still being insecure. The moment you have to choose between enjoying life and making money you're screwed. There's no right answer. The only solution is to find something that you're genuinely passionate about and love doing. That way you can work super hard, enjoy the process and ultimately enjoy the fruits of your labor. Not like our friend here who shyts on other people for not working as hard as she did/does; but as someone who understands that time is precious, that they had to sacrifice certain aspects of your life to achieve the success that you did but you wouldn't do it any differently because even more valuable than the money, is the experience of investing blood, sweat and tears into something that you're passionate about.
