Lord Krishna Great advice, and it does work for some. My 35 year old son ‘retired’ last year. I admire his dedication, but for those of us who grew up in rural America in the 60’s and 70’s, not an easy task. No way to invest, no internet to teach us how to dream, no 401k, no pension for most. Parents who lived paycheck to paycheck and would NEVER talk money, savings etc with their kids. The internet opened the world to everyone. We used our tax return to buy a Gateway computer in 1998 and our son was hooked. He set his path when he was 16, and never wavered. He is now very happily married to his girlfriend of over 10 years and starting a family, paid cash for a new home, diversified investments everywhere, has catastrophic health insurance but self pays for the basic stuff. He never asked us for a dime on this journey. Dang, sure wish I could have the life path he has, but I can at least enjoy watching him live his life.
