Admittedly, I absolutely lack an entrepreneurial instinct. After taxes, I'm pocketing about 48k yearly as a company driver. All the guys around here saying they make 80, 100, 400k are baffling to me. Still enough to meet my goals, though. Just slower going.
There's 52 weeks in a year. Subtract sick time vacation time maybe that gives you 48 actual working weeks. And you are pulling in a grand per week. That's good.
You should be able to save at least $1000 per month, or $12K per year.
In some places in the nation, the average salary is about $80K for normie jobs such as a public school teacher. That's before taxes, though.
Usually the people pulling $80-100K per year are not very thrifty and blow about $10-20K on nicer vehicle, eating out at restaurants, etc.
It's not about how much you make. It's about how much you save. I have friends who make over twice as much as I do but they're renting, don't own their vehicles fully (payment plans), have tons of debt meaning they can't just walk away from their jobs like I can, etc. They dont have any gold or silver coins while my stack keeps growing. They might have money stuck in 401k but they can't liquidate it or reallocate into real estate or gold.
I think your plan is good and i'm rooting for ya. Five years from now you'll come back on here and have a wife a farm kids who knows. Just keep focused and determined. Lots of people out here don't even have any fucking determination. They're so numb from drugs, marijuana, alcohol, depression, they're too blackpilled to even improve their own lives anymore.
