Settlements for injuries from veterans affairs. Lol.
Isn’t the default to build it from scratch? You just find a job that pays well and don’t be a bonobo with your money. It’s really fucking brain dead.
Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Out hustling everyone in my field while modeling the behaviors of the top performers was the sizable cornerstone of my plan.

A decent paying job and being frugal. In your case, you’re going to make a lot of money in the medical field. If you’re going to be a doctor, be aware that doctors have a good reputation for being absolutely shit with money. So if you can avoid that and save, you can easily achieve FIRE.
