For those who are 'well off', how did you get there?

[Ivyy988]

By well off, I mean comfortable enough to not have to worry about money, can buy luxuries, go on holiday etc.

I'm a single parent, study at a good uni (will have my degree next year), but come from a fairly poor family and I really want to never have to worry about money.

I'm not skiled in anything particular, but have a lot of motivation, am very good at saving (although there isn't a lot to save on a student loan) and mainly buy second hand etc.

What is the best way to get there? Am i best of looking for a graduate jon and working my way up? continuing in education? What things helped you get there? (other than inhereted money or where you had a large amount to begin with).

@DecadentDeity Absolutely - as much as my teen years probably weren't easy for my parents, they were incredible guides and I never underestimate how fortunate I am to have had a chance like that - so many children in care simply don't.

@FudgeBrownie2019 I am also heartened to read of your success. Your adoptive parents sound great but you also did it for yourself.

OP what are you studying? What were you doing before?
