i made 25k this month so how? i'm 28yrs old, i've a colleague who earns more than 0.5mil a yr less than 30yrs old too. Learn to be financial independent is more important. It is not how much you make it is how much you save every month. I do not need a BMW to show off, if i can buy one property a yr i would be financially independent before i hit 45yrs old.
