My wife and I just crossed the $1M net worth mark, and we’re both still in our 30s. We came from nothing — no family money, no windfalls, just regular jobs and a lot of financial discipline.

A major turning point came when we left the Church 8 years ago and stopped paying tithing. That 10% of gross income was no small amount, and redirecting it toward saving, investing, and building our future made a huge impact. Honestly, it was one of the most financially freeing decisions we’ve ever made.

Not here to brag — just wanted to share what’s possible when you reclaim your time, your money, and your priorities. Leaving was hard, but the long-term benefits (in more ways than one) have been real.
