i guess i dont worry about it too much bein that i live with my dad still but ive been busting my ass since i was like 10(21 now). i saved a ton of money up from that time till now, which for a 10 year old is a pretty good feat. ive always wanted to work early then play for the rest of my life. thats why i just bust ass now so i can play later. i can tell you from personaly experience that having a construction background has made me what i am today. my dads been in the dirtwork business for 25 years. i know all of his contacts which helped me to get one of my duplexes built. it really helps to know people is what im getting at. i dont know exactly what kinda work you do but rental property right now is pullin in some hella good business. yes im 21 and own 2 duplexes. but they werent handed to me. i have busted ass for them. i guess what im tryin to say is that ive never given up for anything. if i get low on money to spend, i just work more or find something else for money. i guess staying busy is what brought me here today. i am a supervisor on my parents concrete foundation crew, i have a fairly large mowing venture which has pulled in around 15,000 alone this year, my 2 duplexes and i go to school full time. i guess im just rambling now but i feel what you are saying.
