Give the guy some slack though. You never know, he could have made some incredible investments. But considering that legal age to invest in the stock market or rather anything is 18, then it would be very difficult in such a short period of time to turn a million bucks....well it's not hard, just hard if you have to start with ZERO. If your parents gave you a Million and said hey you can play with this as you wish and after 5 years give it back or whatever you have left of it, then yes....it would have been cake to make several million.
If someone gave me 1M 8 years ago, I would have millions, unfortunately I only started with 3K...collage loan money.
But if you truly started with zero, perhaps like some here, and made 1 Million...then wow...I salute you.
