I don't sweat what others are doing. I'm just stoked to watch my own progress. I also don't lament the lost time. It a great motivator to make the decisions to fund a steep growth. By the way, I'm probably double what most people my age are worth, and I only joined the professional work force 8 years ago. Prior to that, my biggest earning year was $25,000.
