[size="3"]What is your understanding of 'greatness'?

How many years should one be earning a salary before this 'greatness' is made manifest?

Quote=Ladybridget

If you save $80 dollars a month this is $1000. per year, not including interest. The key to success is to be ready when your opportunity comes, whether it takes a year or ten.

Your savings are then invested. Where?

Real Estate of course. Your first investment should be where you live, not on your back , in your mouth or on your head. It is your responsibility as an adult to learn sound money management and investing. There are plenty of books and info on the internet to teach you about money, stocks, bonds (bad at this time), ETF's and mutual funds. It is your responsibility to teach it to your offspring. If you don't that again sir is on them!

Ress Quote= "Good point."


Ladybridget Quote= Some points are not debatable.

Just TAKE THE GOOD you find and whatever it is that anyone thinks I am not doing correct you make sure you do it correct.
