The underdog success story always link back to a significant role model like mom, dad, uncle, friend of family. For example, mom was an educated school teacher (Daymond John from Shark Tank). Self-made traces back to a support system and growing up without worrying about abuse or food on the table. Are there people who actually made it out of extreme poverty (way below your country's income threshold of poverty) to millionaire without waiting until 60 for your 401k/IRA to "mature"? If so, who and how?
I'm curious. Half for reassurance and the other part of me am interested to find role models outside of gary v, gary tan, gary keller.
