Good words from him.
Back in 1969 when I got out of HS I 'knew it all"
I'd applied at a few colleges and got accepted and to some pretty good ones but like I said, I knew it all and fast cars and women were all that mattered to me.
I got married, had a kid, divorced, remarried 5 years later, had another kid and was always able to make a decent living because I knew how to speak well, my math skills were excellent and I also didn't mind working hard.
Never chased money as I could always pay my bills and didn't buy what I couldn't pay for.
Then I got to app 45 and realised that the body that had worked so hard all those years wasn't going to be with me forever.
When I was 20 they said" Tuck $20.00 a way per week in an IRA and you'll have a million at age 65 for your retirement"
You think I listened? no..
Be smart, get an education and save your money in secure accounts so it will be there when you get to my age.
That is the best advice I can give to anyone here.
Essentially : Cover your ass and start early.
