A bit of wtf mixed with incredibly stupid ideas (fuck highschool) together with slightly better ideas (become selfemployed) and a hint of undeserved luckery. No kids help a lot too ,-) Could tell you t’was “hard work” or such crap, but that’s stupid survivorship-bias. Never worked hard. Only ever did the absolute bare minimum of work required. Unless I had fun doing it, that is. So, I could’ve also failed horribly and be piss-poor under a bridge now. My parents even tried to achieve that (silly me employed them both). One different choice here or there. Life is fucking strange.

But I also don’t need much, no fancy brand-clothes-shit, no fancy cars, no fancy houses, and only one hobby that’s on the more expensive side (Gaming). If it weren’t for wifey I wouldn’t even need more than one room ,-) Know people who have 10x what I have and only complain they have so little and work themselves to death 16hrs a day in their 50s. Lol. To each their own.

Also I lied, i actually do work 1-3 days a week. I just don’t get paid for it and basically just give back to those less fortunate (a local shelter-thingie where victims of rape/abuse/violence/torture end up broken and alone)
