It's always inspiring to read about young people that come from simple families but still manage to break through. But it's also a little disheartening because I am already 22 and not even close to starting my business.
Those guys are really smart and determined to what they need in this life. I wish I had learned to code when I was younger. It's a much more profitable and necessary profession nowadays.
Every time I read about rich young people like soulja boy net worth, I think there is something wrong with me because I hadn't reached such heights.
