I didn’t start saving heavily until my late 20s, so I hustled hard to save faster (day gig, consulting as much as possible for 3 years) while supporting my disabled mother. The best piece of advice I can give is save early and save more. The longer you put off saving, the harder it is to catch up.
I succeeded from nothing except innate curiosity, grit, and a huge helping of luck. You can too.
