If you want to be “rich” then start planing for it:
Work hard and play hard.
Set up a Roth IRA (make maximum contributions).
Take full advantage of your employer’s 401k or 403b.
Invest additionally in the stock market and stay the course for the long haul.
Be frugal with your money.
There are no guarantees but if you do the above starting young you will likely have a few million ($‘s) by the time you reach 65 years old. But if you don’t plan, save and invest, then you are guaranteed to be poor.
@johnpowell has a point. Create short term goals to learn about which long term goals are appropriate. Take a course or two and create some self-discipline and then determine how far you might take your education. Socially engage with women and see how you feel about these relationships before contemplating marriage.
Set a goal to get in shape within 1 year. Now work on it in bite sized pieces. You mentioned your size and weight a while ago. If I recall you could easily afford to knock off 50 pounds. Figure a pound a week. That is only 500 calories (one hour walk) of extra activity per day (one hour walk) or 500 calories (a jelly donut) of not eating junk food.
That is within your control.
Do it! Everything in life is better when you are in shape.
I’m eating fruits and vegetables. I’ve stopped drinking everything but water. I walk to the grocery store every two days. I have applied to a job placement service. I go to bed when it gets dark. I got my teeth cleaned and only have two cavities. I managed to save $35 this month. I had an emergency pizza last night. I won’t make a habit of doing that.
Switch to a diet of mainly fruits and vegetables , take a half hour walk a day , take a turmeric capsule daily, drink lots of filtered water and cut way back on sugar. I say this while feeling apple cobbler between my teeth.
@talljasperman That is great! You are on your way! Now you must keep it up. A little at a time.
How many calories was the pizza? Did you make up for it by walking more?
$35 a month x 12 is $420 a year.
Keep it up.
