Newly rich, glad I used to be poor
Post Body

As the title says I became rich recently. I bought a struggling HVAC business about 3 years ago and have turned it around.

Knowing what it's like to be poor makes everything about my new lifestyle so much sweeter and I am truly grateful if not humbled.

It is so bad ass to look at menu at decent restaurant and pick something to eat without looking at the price.

Small stuff like not worrying about your car breaking down or budgeting for general living costs and healthcare is bad ass too.

For context, started my first job after leaving the military making 14/hr at 24.

Maxed what I could make in my field as a W2 employee at around 85k at 30.

Now at 34 my business is profiting around 2M a year and it will most likely increase over the coming years.

Save your money because recessions kill many a business.
