All FIFers who became rich or earned a notable amount of money can share their experience here and maybe teach the other FIFers some things.

So there you go, sharing is caring.

When I turned 18 years old, I made dozens of social media accounts, with no real purpose other than to post cheesy quotes from other rich people, and put ENTREPRENEUR in all of the bios even though I had no real world experience, a company, or any viable business plan, to let everyone know just in case.

Rich, as in financial sense.

I have nothing against the feeling that a man is rich when one has other things rather than money. So if someone wants to talk about it, I won't object.

It was a Saturday. I'd just picked up my car up from the shop because I enrolled it in a drag race a few days earlier. So there I was, minding my own business when this crazy old codger with a cane showed up. He says he's my distant relative. I didn't see any resemblance. So he says, "How would you like to be rich?" So I say, "Sure." So he lays this book on me. He says this book'll tell me the outcome of every sporting event 'till the end of this century. All I have to do is bet on a winner, and I'll never lose. So I say, "What's the catch?" He says, "No catch, just keep it a secret." After that, he disappeared. I never saw him again.

The richest person I know just bought a house that was in development and over a few years started buying more property, either renting it out or renovating and selling. His main job is a dentist but his property management made him a multi-millionaire.

Other people I know who are well off all own business, mostly construction.

I am well off not rich.

Invested early. Got lucky. Bought a ton of stuff that tripled to 5x what I paid.

My job offered free money in a 401k match, a HSA($900- 1,300)a year for medical expenses(many companies in the US offer this if you have a high deductible plan. Have to pay out of pocket for everything before I hit $2,000 a month).

Also live way beneath your means. When I graduated I made sure I saved at least $500 a month not in my 401k. My job allowed me to put my pay check in different bank accounts. As time went on I save even more a month.

Also don’t get married. Kids are expensive, wedding are expensive. You get divorced and you lose half your stuff :)

I started a company that forcefully stripped assets from local gas stations and convenient stores. It's like a debt collector agency except I usually use weapons and collect from people that never borrowed from me.

Of course that's what you mean. But where is the cut off between rich and non-rich?

Graduated as an Engineer, got a job at a big company, still broke since I live in the Bay Area, but I'm doing alright. Not complaining.
