Here come the usual excuses, oh he was just lucky, etc etc
No it was hard work and planning, I could have done what 90% of my mates did and I would still be where they are.
I paid 165K for my first house and that was a hell of a lot of money, as a matter of fact it was more than I could afford at the time, hence working 70-80 hours a week in two jobs and often having no money to even put fuel in the 25 year old rust bucket I was driving, buy hey I was just lucky I guess
The difference is I made my own luck and I did what others were not willing to do, now I am reaping the rewards of this and people not willing to do what it takes whinge and whine about how hard their life is, I hear it all the time...
