I like a good story

A 27-year-old millionaire reveals how he built his wealth

Started saving young, joined the military and got a free education as well as other benefits, worked a second job, educated himself on investing, saved harder and got invested into the stock and real estate markets when they were at lows and enjoyed the ride up

Smart guy. Would love to know how he saves the 60% of salary. I suppose being in the navy and studying at the same time would help cut down expenses.

"...military life was the perfect environment for a single person looking to save. The bulk of his fixed expenses housing, food, transportation, insurance were covered."

Great effort.

Shows the importance of goals, doesn't it? He knew what he wanted to achieve, took the necessary step and ended up at his destination. Simple as that.
