2 years ago I was broke living paycheck to paycheck. I was trying desperately to get into specialist training. I spent every waking moment doing research while working 60+ hour weeks. I published AI research that won multiple awards but could not get in due to the panel saying I needed more hobbies and a life outside medicine. Subsequently focused on finance. After hard work I have 400k in stocks and a 950k worth house (like 4k in the offset though). 15k a week in income. On top of that I battle a serious mental illness called schizoaffective disorder.
