I still work very hard - 60-70 hr weeks.. but it's how i invest, leverage and work with that money afterward that gets me to financial independence very quickly.

Ahhh... and here is Josh's touching story teamed with his usual warm, understanding tone...
Josh, my man... when I was in college, with little money, there was no "pre-tax dollars" to make work for me. For
many of us (though obviously not you), figuring out if we were going to have enough money to pay the rent was a -- well, monthly occurrence.
I know you work very hard now, and make very good money. Most of us here do. However, if you cannot identify with having to struggle through college with loans and crappy jobs -- you know, the original question, do me a favor... do not post condescending comments aimed at those who did.
