Reply to comment by laxmolnar in CT Private Business should be required to share income with their employees by laxmolnar

I started a candle business when I was 16 in High School for $250. I was making upwards of $30,000/yr after a few years. Worked a full time job at 18 for $9.60/hr. Took all that money, and bought a house for $48,750. Renovated it. Rented it. Used the equity to buy another house. Repeated. Repeated. Now I’m 25 and retired.

If a 16 year old in High School can turn a candle business into an early retirement by 25, then it’s certainly possible for just about anyone to accomplish.

Also, minimum wage is $14/hr now.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

You bought an entire house for $48,750? You are clearly way older than 25 lol like wtf are you saying.

​

Claiming early retirement at 25 - if you still manage the properties you are not retired lol like go back to school. I wager you have variable mortgage rates? lmaoooooo

Yes I did in 2017. Here's the Zillow link. I bought it 1/6/2017 for $49,000 and a $250 Smoke Detector Credit. I just sold it for $212,700 this year. I also bought this one for $54,900 11/27/2019 and just sold it for $275,000.

I live in a $2.5 Million Dollar mansion now, with no mortgage and have a Tesla. I oversee my investments, but I wouldn't call that working.

I bet you also have expensive crystal glasses to smell your farts from when telling these bold lies.

If you would like a tour of the house, a ride in the Tesla, and to hear more about how I got to this point feel free to shoot me a PM and we can chat for an afternoon.
