Paid off home, and car, and servants, in your early thirties?

Not really, no. Not unless you somehow made six figures from age 20 30

You can if you pick one, assuming you have a six figure income, you just have to live like you have a mid-five figure income. $50k+/year is a lot of money to throw at house/car/servant.

Thats just what I did. I was fortunate to have a well paying career for a while and I prioritized getting free from debt. Now I have time to be my own chef. Took almost 20 years. Not that complicated. No servants tho, thats just you being salty. I never had a rich family, which you assume is the only way. I grew up in poverty. My good luck came from elsewhwere.

So, you started making your fortune at thirteen?
