Personal finance guru Suze Orman went from waitressing at 30 to retiring to her own private island. She insists you can, too, if you change your mentality on 'burnout.'
"I'm a seriously wealthy woman, right? Seriously wealthy. Right? And I've bought maybe three cups of coffee in a Starbucks or a coffee place in my life."

Orman said that back when she was only making $400 a month for 7 years, her favorite activity was going to astrologers. But now, she said, she's not going to live in fear because of what someone told her could happen in the future.Orman, who was a waitress until she was 30, said she knows how the younger generation feels, especially about astrology.
"So I don't like knowing my future. I want to create my own future. I don't want somebody telling me what it is that's going to happen to me," Orman said. "I'm going to create what happens to me and whatever happens to me, I'm going to handle." For her, that came only 9 years ago, when she turned 60 years old. She said "you can feel it inside" when it happens — there's a feeling of power and never having to do anything you don't want to.
