"I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then its your own fault."

People come from different backgrounds, different financial situations and different family situations! To get a different perspective of life, speak to a slum boy someday!
He was just lucky to have a rich family! 1,000 $ is a huge sum of money here in my country and can buy a home. So he could easily reach a million dollars especially since he was an early adopter of bitcoin where the price has not yet boom!
That is it, for you to really make it in life, you still need financial support, imagine if he does not have that $1000, or as a young boy which in my country, many of people like this still love under their roof of their parents who hardly give them money because they are either still in high school or just about finishing high school and the only money they are having access to are all these little pocket monies which may now even be upt0 $10 per month.
When I was at his age, I dont think I have the privilege to even 10 percent of that amount, but one thing that I have learnt from this story which many young people should also learn is that when you have the privilege in life, they should take advantage of it. He could have used the money to play game or gamble, but he invested it.
