Can you graph out those 7 years? There might be a lesson in it.

This would be immensely helpful. Reading someone else's journey is helpful in understanding what mistakes could be avoided and how things could be done better. Personally, I can usually find one or two pieces of actionable advice in these kinds of stories.

I was just asking for an actual graph.

We all knew you would do it, man.

I dunno if anyone's read his old posts, but @GrumpyCat had posted all sorts of, well, worrying and slightly disturbing things over the 7 years he's been here. He's been in pretty low places and has faced more hardship than a lot of us here.

He's made money working his a$$ off, and then lost money on deals that have gone wrong. He's been deep in debt and got out of it. At 23, he has more battle scars than most people his age, and more than a lot of people twice his age.

He's been out there doing and kicking a$$... and getting his a$$ kicked, too. Congrats, man.

This ain't the end, man. You've still got millions to go.

Congrats @GrumpyCat
This post was a very great way to start my day.

 

[Griso]

Awesome!
I'm 16 now and just joined this forum. Going to work hard so I can say the same in a couple of years time!
Thanks for the inspiration

A huge round of congratulations, very inspiring.

@GrumpyCat Congrats on your success! This is not the first time that I find on of your posts highly inspiring! But what strikes me the most, is that you are 23 years old! Based on your posts, I always imagined you were around 30. You sound so humble and wise! Keep up the good work and wish you all the best in the future

@GrumpyCat Congrats. I just want everyone to know that Grumpycat busted his a$$ to get where he is. I have seen him contribute almost daily on one thing or another. If you have not, make sure to tread his post on hustling. At one point the guy even wanted to give up but persevered through that too. This post is so inspiring to me that I have made the fastlane forum the home screen on my browser. I just wanted to know if grumpy you have a progress thread out there that I have missed other than the hustle thread.

I know you're Candian, but this was the best I could do. Meanwhile, back in the slow lane:

Let that sink in. If you have $333,750, you have more assets than 70% of people ages 55-64. What would you rather have? 1.01M at age 23 or $333,750 (which, after you subtract the value of the mortgage, is probably a liquid net worth of more like $30,000) at age 64?

Make the same choices, get the same results.

Thanks everyone. Going to be a hectic week, meeting with some other forum members and just general busy stuff. I'll try to get back to people when I have the chance.

Keep up the fight.

From all the youngsters out here on the forum, congrats on your incredible achievment!

 

[HighestVantage]

Thanks for sharing! Congratulations. I was looking at your posts back a year ago, always respected your quality posts. Thanks again.

 

[xmartel]

Congrats GrumpyCat. I don't post much, but I've been following your progress and rooting for you for years. I've been here since nearly the beginning and I remember your early posts. One in particular about a bridge. Some dark times. I think that connected with me because I was in a similar place in my younger years too. But you pushed through. You fought and didn't give up. This is just the start though. Keep going. I'm very proud of you.

[James Fake]

CONGRATULATIONS MAN!!!!

I feel like now... you're gonna be like that investor guy in the one Silicon Valley episode lol.

He is a Billionaire but he lost some money and sat at right below a Billion, so his only mission was to become back a Billionaire again lol.

Congrats man!! You should come and present at the meetup next year

 

[Five Star]

Congrats! Well done on your achievements and for pushing on through the tough times to make it to this stage. Onwards and upwards

 

[FTLane]

Race you to a billion

I see you've got a 10/90 cash/security split. Do you play any options in the stock market or do you stick to mostly blue chip? And congratulations!

Congrats man,

I did not know your back story at all but read many (if not all) your posts since I joined the forum and I thought you were a grisled veteran in the game. Turns out I was only half right.

23 yrs old and on top of the world and will most likely only go higher.

Truly inspirational.
