An EPIC story

It begins during the United States great depression, at that time, the population became unemployed, went hungry, became miserable and even many died. However, during those dark times, a special child was born. His parents felt something different about him. Something like "the one who could restore the hope of his people."

Since he was a young man, he justified this expectation, at the age of 7, he borrowed from the library in his city a book called "a thousand ways to earn a thousand dollars". From there, he gained an insatiable thirst for reading. He devoured ALL the investment books from his father's collection. At the age of 11, his first achievement came: 3 shares of an oil company. He still hasn't had his results proven in the long run, but he has always respected the principles.

Even at a young age, he understood that investing was not enough. In addition to his early interest in the stock exchange, the boy understood that - before investing - he should MAKE money. So he started delivering newspapers door to door and selling everything that fit in his arms - from candy to soda. By the end of his teens, with the fruit of his work and his investments, he had already accumulated the equivalent of more than $ 100,000.

Throughout his life, he was one of the greatest advocates of compound interest. It is no wonder that of the $ 88 billion of his fortune, 99% was accumulated after the age of 50. Do you know what was the game changer that got him out of the hundreds of thousands and into the tens of billions?

It wasn't his profitability, it wasn't hisbusiness ventures, it wasn't his choices on the stock exchange and even less luck ...

What made it thrive was the TIME factor.

This story is none other than Warren Buffett ... It could have turned into a movie, but it didn't happen. He was not the Wolf of Wall Street, nor did he have the most exciting life of all. But, for sure, he was one of the people who most enjoyed the benefits of financial independence: guaranteeing freedom, peace and tranquility in his life.
