Doesn't take anything away from the accomplishment IMO. Maybe just puts more of the W on your wife for letting this happen and carrying you through the beginning. I think that is where a great chunk of the luck lies, in having a (life) partner that is willing to let you go for it and has the faith in you. Keep treating her to vacations and what not, she deserves it. Not every missus is as understanding and supportive as the ones we have. I find that to be the factor most dependent on luck in your story. Timing can be attributed to luck, but also to balls and brain to get in then. I knew about crypto for sometime and didnt get in because of a lack of the b and b. I wsnt unlucky to put myself in a similar position, but not brave/smart enough. I think people that call early traders lucky for getting in early fail to give credit where it is due.
