I just realized between my accounts and home equity, I'm considered a millionaire. No tech job, no finance degree, no college diploma, just a lot of overtime. I'm a lineman, I make between 215k-240k a year depending on overtime (hint it's a lot lol) started working at my company when I was 19 and worked my way up through an apprenticeship and now sitting pretty comfortably. I do try to make my work-life balance good with travel and rock climbing (keeps me sane) but it's not the greatest at times.

I know every post in this sub seems like a humble brag but I just wanna show that hard work, smart savings, and time can add up you even for people without a degree. I honestly don't have my fire number yet but my house will be payed off in 12 years so that may be a good time. Collage isn't for everyone, I'm sure there's something out there that can work for you, just please don't destroy your body too much✌️
