Exactly. There are three "legs" to freedom. Freedom from oppressive government, financial freedom and health freedom.Start young, enjoy life but save or invest a little regularly. Over time it will grow. Don't be a slave to it however. Also important is to take care of your health. So many fall into financial ruin because of medical problems. Just eating a simple diet will help ensure both health and prosperity.
life imitates art. When did that song come out.Wasn't there a song about that? "Pave paradise. Put up a parking lot."
Sadly, many don't have even one of these legs to stand on.Exactly. There are three "legs" to freedom. Freedom from oppressive government, financial freedom and health freedom.
There isn't a Money forum or a Careers forum so I post this here in the Lifestyle forum because scheming to make oneself wealthy is a lifestyle.
We've heard all the get rich quick schemes and how much a gamble they are. How about your get rich slow stories? Slow and steady wins the race they say and if you've got a hard to shake financial plan that takes years to unfold and is a solid thing to stick with I'd like to hear about it.
That would definitely work in the right environment.Save at least 10 percent of your take home pay from day one of your working life.
Without fail!
That's slow but peaches are expensive right now even at orchard stores.Purchase land and start a peach orchard.
A berry farm would bring in some quicker harvests ..... then you have to worry about birds along with the usual heatwaves, insects , fungus and grubs and everything else.That's slow but peaches are expensive right now even at orchard stores.

Have only one addiction ....saving as much money as you can. Don't waste it on booze and drugs and women. There are some good investments ....individual private Investments and the stock market if you're lucky or if you have enough to play with and run out the bear market.1. Work hard.
2. Save.
3. Don't worry about shit you can't control. If it works out, great. If not, I've had the good life already, which is already better than most of the people who ever walked this earth.
4. Be a good person to others - that will pay you back in ways you don't expect.

Now is a good time to start buying real estate where you can drill your own good quality well water.Too late, lol. I'm a little too much like my avatar Ric Flair. Well, I used to be anyway. Not nearly as much booze or women, but I tried.
Contrary to popular advice, real estate is a good investment -- if you know what you're doing and don't over-leverage. It's cash flow. Everyone needs a place to sleep. Just buy in a place that's not prone to crime. People who buy a home because they think they're gonna turn a profit because the market's going up? No different than buying equities really. May as well be an index fund investor. You can't time the market.

But don't cash in now..... that's what they want you to do. All these gold & silver coin scams... they want you to think they're trying to dump the gold at 1500 to 2000.Everyone should have invested in gold before 2003 when it was still $300 an ounce.
Of course the wealthy speculators and inside trader elites probably bought up 80% of the available gold at the time.
