@nprofile1q... I am certainly blessed, but I also paid a heavy price for many years, to get where I am.
for 5 years I worked 2 full time jobs during the week plus a part time job for 8 hours per day on Sat and Sun. For 6 years following that I worked one full time job and one part time job (20 hours per week) during the week, and 8 hours on saturday.
then 50 hours per week for many years after that. During most of that time, I lived in a dump and ate crappy food and saved up $, then invested.
