Answer 1

Genetics (Singapore.) Kevlar fabric (it just may be needed for something in the future far more interesting than bulletproof vests). And, THESE guys. Note the live countdown at the top of their opening page. Think nanotube:

Answer 2

You sure have it all figured ou. Remember merphy is still around. he will one way or another let you have it between the eyes. I think you probably will be able to handle him though.

7,000.00 to invest each year is not enough but for now yes. Increase that each year in the future. You should be able to at least double that seven each seven years. so in 21 years that first seven will be 56,000.00 or more. I startede working at 14 and also started saving and later investing and by the time Iwas 54 I could go and do as I wanted. Have been to many lands and seen many things as well as done things I never would have thought about before.
No I do not have children to help. That does cost a lot and is getting even more costly.
Marry and happy

Answer 3

You should have invested in DUCK TAPE!!!!

Answer 4

too much to read, but just keep saving
