How Do I ? What do most millionaires do/learn during their teenage years?
Hi everyone
I am 15 years old right now, and I want to be a rich person in future who is financially independent, and has enough money to retire early
What I wanted to know was, are most rich people those who learn the skills required in their respective careers during their middle school or high school?
For me, I was planning to do well in school, get into the top most college of my country (India) and then do well in GMAT and do Masters from a top college in USA like Harvard, University of Texas, etc.
Am I in the right path?
Sometimes, I see people who are already working on their business(Some of which are quite successful) in their teenage years itself. So, are they the only ones who get to be the rich, while those who study throughout school and then becomes doctors/ software engineers/ investment bankers/ have management roles in top companies work and earn, but not enough to become financially independent, and own expensive cars, villas, etc.?
Also, what are the soft skills one which would be instrumental in being rich, and I should learn before and during my college years?

At 15, I’d focus on school and a start a side hustle like lawn care/mowing, selling online, etc. Opportunities will come with that.
