I am in my 50s and I have several friends I grew up with that own many houses and are “successful”, and others that are kinda surviving just ok. It’s not always the norm, but getting up early is a common thread amongst the successful. Those extra couple hours a day, add up to 1000s of hours of productivity that adds up over decades. Whether it’s getting up to go for a run, walking the dog,or to get to work early when few people are there to get things done, most of them all get up early, even on the weekends.

Also, people who get up early normally have a “plan” for the day instead of scrambling around because you are running late.
