How I Rose from Abject Poverty to Massive Wealth By Age 33

One day in January of 2019, I sat down at my desk to work.

Then, the thought of death flashed through my mind.

I started thinking about death and what might happen to my family if (like many other people), I die young.

By this time, I already had a company that was doing well with a promising future.

But I didn’t trust that my wife knew everything she needed to know to keep the business going if I died.

So, I decided to write some detailed notes about some important information she might need to at least keep the business moving so that she and my children wouldn’t become poor if I died.

As you can tell, such a document was an emotional one.

I was only 32.  

For a 32-year-old man to be talking about death to his wife. that is a big deal.

I cried and hoped I would have the courage to write that document soon.

All through the year 2019, I never had such courage.

Although I thought about it several times, I didn’t know how my wife would take it so I didn't do anything about it.

About 14 months after, in April 2020, I decided to do it anyway.

I wrote that document.

However, in the year 2019, when I was thinking about the above document, something else came to mind, and that was;

What do I want my children to know about Life and Money?

While I think I should really prepare my wife to be able to make enough money to take care of herself and our children, I also believed that handing over money to my children won’t necessarily make them wealthy or successful.

I needed them to understand Life

They should know how money works so that they could live a meaningful, successful, and fulfilling life.

I want my children to be independent, knowing how to make their own money.

So, I decided to write a “letter” to my children, too.

While thinking about writing a letter to my children, i thought to myself, "Why not make such letter a public document?"

That's how this book came into being.

How I Raised Myself from Abject Poverty to Massive Wealth is the story of my life and biggest lessons I have learned in my journey

If there are things I would like my children to know about money and success in life, here they are in this book.
