It's the combination of being recruited right out of high school to a startup (which I contractually can't name but which was out of business after the first bubble), growing up poor (so when I did get a little money I didn't know what to do with it other than to store it away) and finally Bob Brinker who I follow religiously (http://www.bobbrinker.com/portfolio.asp)
But really the second is the most important. People have no idea how much money actually passes through their hands in an average year (or how much money it can get them if they invest it wisely). Yes I made $93,000 a year for a little over a year at 18 which was a huge break but I've added significantly to that simply by only buying things I really wanted to have and stuffing the rest away.

Might I ask how you accumulated that much money so young?
