I agree it's about discipline and starting early. I never made $100K at one job but I wasn't afraid to work a second job for many years.
I didn't let early failures discourage me too much. I had a separate speculative account I took to worse than zero. Actually had to pay my broker to close the account. Things happen for a reason. I could have blown up my account later with big money had I not learned to manage risk while I had time to recover.
And look at me now. Annoying people on the internet daily, lecturing them to realistically assess valuation and the risk in their portfolio.
