Today Is My Birthday, I Just Turned 21... and I'm RICH!!

65 replies
Hey Guys,

Just wanted to let everyone know that today (Dec 18) is my birthday

This may seem like a weird type of post but I'm not just searching for happy birthday comments I want to bring your attention to the fact that I just turned 21.

Why is this important?

Well at the ripe old age of 21 I am COMPLETELY financially free.

I am so thankful and grateful that I have turned 21 and I never have to worry about money again.

This post is not to brag, far from it. It's intended to inspire. That someone so young can actually be totally financially secure. I am having a great birthday. The best part is that I don't have to go to work on my birthday and I never will.

It's also nice to be able to afford to buy myself some expensive presents

All the money I have made has purely been from marketing online.

In case you still don't know THIS STUFF WORKS!!

So I just want to provide some "living proof" and some inspiration.

If you stay focused, develop a positive wealthy mindset and take inspired action you will suceed.

Trust me there is nothing sweeter than having the freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want (except I have to wait for my friends to finish work so I can go party )

Good luck and enjoy.

Cheers,
Tristan

    Happy birthday, Tristan! Congratulations on your good fortune. A word of advice from someone who has logged quite a few more years than you:

    1. Remember always to appreciate what you have.
    2. There are some things in life that all the money in the world can't buy.
    3. Maintain a childlike sense of wonder all your life.
    4. Celebrate your good fortune by helping others on a regular basis.
    And party on!

      Hey Tristan,
      Since you are not looking for Happy Birthdays, would you be mad if I wished you anyway

      It's a real inspiration. I may even ask you to PM me your life blueprint so far.
      Congratulations and thank you for posting it.

  • Thanks Tracy I appreciate your advice

    I agree, you should always appreciate and be grateful for what you have now, even if you don't have what you want right now it's better to be grateful for what you do have instead of complaining about what you don't have.

    Thanks again Tracy!

    Happy birthday mate. Just don't make my mistake and put all eggs in one basket.

    One other thing - just cos you have money now, it doesn't mean you'll have it in a year unless you are sensible with it!

    Other than that - have a great party.

    Happy birthday, freedom at 21 is marvellous. I will be 22 by december 26 but can't say the same about myself but the foundation is very visible. Your post is an inspiration to me and I am sure to other newbies like myself. Keep up the God job and NEVER EVER forget those who brought you to the world.

    Congrats.. that's a double super achievement -- at 21 I had just released my first IM ebook and was ecstatic, I charged $11 or so per copy, I made $11 from the first sale within 5 minutes of announcing it to my list, that was after almost 2 years of struggling online, at that point, I knew anything was possible... great post, good inspiration... best of luck to keep climbing higher!

    Oh, how I wish the Internet was around when I was 21 !!.

    My 14 year old is now making money online, with his Fathers Guru guidance of course ( or I like to think I have something to do with it ! )

    I can think of nothing better than having the money to enjoy life at the age where you can party and still recover the next day, and do it all again. I still like to party, but I have to set it for a Friday as I need Saturday and Sunday to get over it.

    Respect to you, and enjoy your day.

      Oh to be 21 again. Of course when I was 21 there was no Internet.

    Happy Birthday

    Your post as well as your WSO sales pages was "in my head" for a few hours yesterday - those are some ASTRONOMICAL staggering, incredible earnings.

    I have no idea how you did it, incredible impressed.

    From your screenshots i have to assume you didnt even do an affiliate program since all the sales went right to your paypal..otherwise i would have thought you sold that much because eevry affiliate and their mama jumped on the bandwaggon since they wanted a piece of those $1997.

    Tell me how you made 40 x $2000 sales/DAY on avg for 1 week straight...its just boggling my mind

    To be rich and set for life, you must have made a lot of money outside of your launch as well. After paying affiliates 50%, taxes, and other expenses, $600k quickly turns into $200k.
