What do you consider "making it"?
icky: "Making it" is a journey of several steps:1. Realizing you haven't been checking price tags on food or household items for a while now.2. Making money faster than you can find things worth spending it on.3. Being well-off without having to work full-time.4. Being well-off through actively-managed passive income.5. Being able to sail around the world and come back richer (through passive income, not sea trade nor piracy nor fortune hunting ;).6. Being able to do what you want, where you want, when you want, without the permission or approval of anybody.
