Doesn't take anything away from the accomplishment IMO.   Maybe just puts more of the W on your wife for letting this happen and carrying you through the beginning.  I think that is where a great chunk of the luck lies, in having a (life) partner that is willing to let you go for it and has the faith in you.    Keep treating her to vacations and what not, she deserves it.   Not every missus is as understanding and supportive as the ones we have.   I find that to be the factor most dependent on luck in your story.   Timing can be attributed to luck, but also to balls and brain to get in then.   I knew about crypto for sometime and didnt get in because of a lack of the b and b.  I wsnt unlucky to put myself in a similar position, but not brave/smart enough.    I think people that call early traders lucky for getting in early fail to give credit where it is due.

>I hope this does not take away from what was accomplished but at the same time I hope it has everyone re-evaluate any life altering decisions that may be on the table.

It doesn't take anything away from your accomplishment, cushion or not, you did extremely well.

Now for people making major life-altering decisions based on the post they've read on steemit... I don't know, it's a strange world we live in, anything is possible 😁

Good on you for bringing some people down to Earth,

Were some people saying "If he can make $1m so easily, surely so can I!? I'm gonna quit my shitty job immediately"??

I think most people should live by this:

"Even before my debt was paid off, me and my wife live VERY lean. It's not that we can't spend more we just dont see the need to do so."

I've had my car for 7 years, I could afford to buy a brand new one but my car works great so why would I need to?

Thank you for this. Most people would've jumped and quit their jobs without knowOMG the full details only to come back and blame you if they didn't succeed with Crypto. 

Moral of the Story: Don't take unnecessary risks without a strong cushion 

Am happy it worked out well for you though

Risking your whole life for investment isn't clever but as someone have said "you wont fly if you never try" (or something like that lol)You had plan B all the time but even if somebody doesn't it's not over since sometimes risking a lot can pay off.As I've said you shouldn't risk too much but If I had opportunity I would.Don't judge me haha.Congrats one more time for achieving that much man :)

Mhh, missed your previous post, so will need to read it. But what I can already tell, is that you have been taking a calculated risk! You had a fall back scenario and worked and saved hard before to make this change possible!

I see it as a great achievement and the fact that you’ve laid out the details here add to it rather than take abybthing away from it. You were not stupid or reckless and always had a fall back plan if it didn’t work out. I don’t see it as luck (although I’m sure it played a part) but a series of calculated decisions that paid off! Congrats

Now if EOS would just pick up a bit....

Greetings from Venezuela. I invite you to take a look at my first OpenMic post and support me: D and thanks in advance
