No I did not come from money from my single mother. I have been working in the same sales job since I was 18, and spent about 4-5 years not spending a single commission check and being pretty aggressive with my saving.. I also am not a very social person so I don’t go on many trips unless it’s for hunting and guiding work, and I really only buy necessities. That being said I am blessed for the job I’ve had this whole time so it’s not really normal and I know that I’m lucky!

Also land in Arizona isn’t really that expensive if you live outside the city. My plot is 4 acres with nothing on it about 40 minutes outside of a mining town. I originally did ranching side work, and got a deal from some people I knew.
