Congrats to you for your stay investment strategy! And, if you were at a million in 2009 after the market dropped 50% from 2007 then huge kudos to you! The market has risen 3x since then, so now you must be a baller.

No college but qualified as Chartered Accountant with ICAEW. Just purchased my first Rolex, the new Sea Dweller, after having a tag for number of years.

Thank you! Most guys I work with drive 50k pick ups and have jet skis , Harley's and so on . I drive an '04 Buick.... But our two kids ( an RN and CPA ) have no college debt . It was a choice we made early on, live below our means and save and invest , honestly it's pretty simple if you have discipline and a long term time Horizons.

Watch out when I retire in a year ! Going to buy a new SUV and if I had the wrist size, I'd like a Yachtmaster II ......

You are so spot on about living below means and saving early when time is on your side--compound interest is magical!

Kids, here is the key to get rich:

SAVE BIG, SAVE EARLY!

You don't need to have a University degree to have a Rolex. I went straight into work from school, worked hard and I've now got a couple of luxuries. Granted I'm a little late in owning one but that is only due to me recently catching the watch bug!

I've never had a job interview and no inheritance left me, just pure graft got me my collection..

BTW, I have a bluesy and a PO omega and soon to get a YM platinum, hopefully..

Bill Gates and others dropped out or never went to college and they can buy the entire Rolex company many times over if they wanted...This is a very snobbish thread.

Welcome to the Forum. You're off to a great start with this first post.

It's snobby to discuss one's education? Should people not discuss or, God forbid, even celebrate their accomplishments in life, for fear of somehow offending those who might not have achieved those same accomplishments? Sounds awfully "snowflakish" to me. No one here has suggested that those with less formal education are in any way inferior or less successful.

The OP was curious about where people attended school and what they studied so not sure how that is snobbish. It certainly isn't a judgment of those who did not attend college. He also didn't equate wealth or success purely to education. It's interesting to hear people's educational backgrounds as well as professions on a world wide forum. Not to mention experiences. Lots shared here over the years. Perhaps if you stick around you will understand and experience that for yourself.
