35years, first month of my first employment and my first pay after seeking for job for over 7 years. Bought first car the second month and things just moved so fast that I didn't remember that I lost 7yrs on the streets. Everything the devil took from my destiny just rush back before I could open my eyes.
While on the street I got close to a million but never netted a million at hand. I was into supplies (construction) and general contracting including but not limited to digging and construction of soakaway pits. Any other job/supplies related to building. Built my first house while on the streets. In all you do just be Godly.

Being a millionaire is easy but remaining a millionaire is the koko.

You must prioritise assets over liability to remain at the top.

Making a million without remaining a Millionaire is bullcrap.

Well, I made my first milla indirectly sort of. I had up to 5 juicy scholarships while in school, which totalled up to 750k per annum.

I didn't really depend so much on the cash though so I had much of it saved away in my accounts.

After about 3 consecutive years in school, I had a net balance of a mill plus.

I guess I got paid for studying. smiley

You are wise. I had a friend who made N350k from Agbami and N100k from Shell, that is over 1.3M for three years (he got it from.yr 2) but he blew it before final year. Me that hustled is better off.

I remember that I used to tell him to invest the money and he said he would but never did. He felt he knew better than me, being older.

26.

I got a job. I still struggle to save cash in my account unless there's a pressing need for that. All I do is to keep buying lands in my state capital. Each time I try to build up savings, my sister would call me that some plots of land are available for sale. Resisting this has been my greatest struggle. I have to learn how to balance my financial life. That is making investments as well as keeping savings.

I have not made a million naira before. But I made my first 100 thousand naira at age 18, year 2013 after my ss3 waec through hustling of bottle water and lacasera in hold up and bus parks at Oshodi.

But due to some family issue and being the first born of the family, gave my mum and sibling almost all.

And now that I am an undergraduate in a federal university in Nigeria, having 10k in my account self is a miracle. But I believe I will also make my millions and be okay one day. There is time for everyone!

29/30... Multiplier effect of savings from salary, got employed at 24yrs, pay wasn't much, had to use a part of my salary for petty business, got quick loans for business till I paid back all and business continues, the profit grew till I hit the amount, surpassed it, also invested in business, Mini importing, shopping and shipping from USA to Nigeria, had some bit of TB,s...invested more than luxury...
