Hopefully there are a good number of 20 and30 year olds reading and taking this thread to heart as the impact it may have on their quality of life is a wonderful thing.
Amen... too many young people think that planning ahead at 20 or 30 is crazy...

That it seems so far away...Instant gratification seems better..

Tell you what, not planning for the future is crazy.. You must plan and invest.

I was on track to retire at about 60....Well two years ago, at 50, I had a major Brain and Heart condition which forced me into early retirement.

Had I not been planning for years , and with Plan "B", and "C", I would be homeless right now..

So, I have started living on my dividends sooner than expected, but all is well.

Even someone older , 45 or so, can still make it happen, if you stay healthy.. You could still save until you are 65..20 years of investing..

The younger viewers...this stuff is Golden and you have the World at your feet...Invest now, and reap the rewards later...
