Save your money....

As a teenager, working my first jobs, I quickly came to the conclusion that there are a lot people who are poor simply because they either didn't have the discipline or forethought to save some money.

I was always running calculations about how much money I'd have if I saved a little "here and there". I began small...$10-20 per paycheck...and just put it in a safe place in my home.

After a while that $10-20 became $50, which then became $100 as my jobs paid better....again, always placing the cash in a safe place in my home.

Yes, there were times I 'cheated', but I would just make up for it the next paycheck...work more hours, etc.. Also, it was difficult to see how this would help me at first, as it didn't seem like much to only have a few hundred dollars saved after my first year of doing this.

However, once I built up to saving $100 per paycheck, the gains came rapidly, by 21 I had about $25K in cold, hard cash in my house...not a bank, not a money market...in cash.

I'm now 37 with $435K in CASH. A far cry from the $40 a month I was saving at age 15/16.

Start saving NOW!

So...You put away over 21 thousand dollars a year since you were 17 ...... I doubt that.......Have you been robing banks and living in your mama's basement?

Well congrats on your savings
But do you realize , paper is what you got
and it's value is going down as we speak

word of advice

1.
Buy a house , own it fare and square
preferably with some land so you can grow
food if SHTF

2.
Buy some gold and silver

3.
Buy some non perishable food (6 month supply min )

4.
Buy guns and ammo



What ever is left, do whatever you want

According to your math you would be about 83 years old not 37. Your math is incorrect.
