Everyone's circumstances are different, but I came out of prison $200 wealthier than I went in, and I accumulated wealth at the rate of $2 per 10hr workday.

When I got out, I was in pretty good shape with a $10/hr job assisting a brick mason and working 12hr days. I'd have fallen off a ladder or cut my fingers off with the brick saw if I had kept that job. As it turned out, I landed a 6 month contract to deploy new workstations and laptops at $17/hr. The company I contracted at offered me a job, but I had to decline since they didn't hire felons.

Then I got a full time job at $17/hr and lived in my car for 2 years. After that, I rented a room in a townhouse for $400/mo. 6 years of that allowed me to purchase a 4 bedroom house with 20% down. Along the way I purchased a 4 unit rental in OK.

Are you working for your money, or is your money working for you?
