A 20-year-old argues wealth comes from sacrifice, not talent. He prices the lifestyle people want: BMW M5 at $80,000, Rolex at $12-13k, luxury office at $3,000 a month. He worked hard to escape his parents' grueling 7-day workweeks and says anyone can do the same if they're willing to lock in and pay the cost.

M5 Competition, $80,000. $3,000 a month office. House, that's gonna run you a couple hundred. 24 Submariner, this shit gonna run you $12,000, $13,000. I'm only 20 years old. There's nothing special about me. There's nothing special about anybody that's successful. It's just a matter of what you're willing to sacrifice. I was tired of the way I was living. I was tired of seeing my parents work 7 days a week. Now they only work as they want to. That's the power of you actually locking in, and it's complicated than the lock-in, and everybody knows that. But if I were to sit here and explain it, I would be ranting for an hour, and clearly you don't have the attention span for that, because otherwise you'd be where I'm at. You take the sacrifice of your time and actually take action, even if it's imperfect, because you're willing to make a sacrifice to change the direction of your life, to change the loved ones that you love. I mean, I could easily be driving a Honda Civic. I could easily be rocking a Casio watch.
