Answer 1

Some people say I am I do admit I am very blessed.
High school was very boring, the good thing about high school was it took up my time or I would of gotten in to a lot of trouble.

Took ten years to get my degree would not trade it for any thing, what i did learn really help out a lot.
Logistics, importing and exporting, trucking I get stuff moved.

I was willing to risk it all , many people fight hard keep what little they have.

Read Read and Read also when you can not Read listen to CD about business ect. Stay out of debt and save.

Answer 2

there were 2 major factors:

First, ....and probably most important, l went to college and got
a degree, thus my first full-time job wasn't some dull minimal wage job with no benefits, but a full time job, that paid enough to
live on, that included health insurance & vacations & a career.
That job let me move on to bigger & better jobs. l started at
the bottom & worked up.....BUT... the bottom, for people with
an education, is just a little higher, than for those who didn't
go to school.

Second: l banked something, no matter how small, from every
paycheck... it was my reserve fund. Thanks to the automatic
savings plan, my reserves grew...and grew. That piece of mind,
knowing that, should something bad happen, that l had the next months rent, or mortgage or car payment, or whatever....in the bank. It turned out to be a good strategy for savings and financial planning.


Forget trying to be rich, instead, try to have a good job.
Its the job that pays you. A job you like doing will pay even more.
Good Luck

Answer 3

Wealth has different meanings to different people. I am financially independent, meaning I have money making money for me so I don't have to work hard anymore.

I did fine in school, I was average, bored and hated it. High school was a waste of time for me.

No college, no thanks!!!

Business owner, Private tutor & landlord.

Ambitious to a fault would be my attribute. Highly motivated & full of energy 99% of the time. Stubborness helped me NOT listen to poor people complaining about money. I ask myself "how this can work for me" at things where others say "that will never work".

Knowing it is not how much money you make but how much you keep that will lead you to financial independance. Save save save and soon the money works and you don't have to.

Life is full of decisions, we each get to make decisions everyday regarding our financial life. I choose to put money away and limit things that cost me money, I don't want bills!!! Its that simple

Answer 4

Check out you library for the book: The Millionaire Next Door.

Basically, most millionaires own their own business, work long hours, buy use cars(and hold on to them until they die), live in modest houses, pay themselves first by saving, invest, and don't use credit. They take modest vacations-if any. They are next to you in line at the store. You would never know they were rich. They are the ones always buying stuff on sale. They aren't cheap, but, they are frugal.

Answer 5

I'm actually better financially once I figured out working only makes the owners wealthy and not me...
But yes my College education is invaluable....because with out it I would have not been able to obtain all my licenses.....My education allows me to be facilitator, not employee........so YES............Go to College
