I scored 3.

Took me a while to actually try hard things, because I was afraid of failure.

It wasn't until my mid thirties I started really pushing myself, embracing the fact that failure was a part of life, and changing my trajectory in a dramatic way.

~7 years later, I've got a nice house (2M), 1M in the bank, 2 kids, loving wife, and a handful of close friends I see often.

It was a tough road getting here, but life is good.

Amazing, thanks for sharing!

I don’t have anyone to talk to about any of this, so it’s helpful to see how others have done. It’s helpful to me as a guide of sorts.

I appreciate you sharing your experiences!

I can very much relate here. Ace score of 5. Took me until until my mid thirties as well to shake it and start to try, and I'm happy I did.
