Let’s face it, the way the world is becoming, it’s more of the haves and have nots, you have to decide how hard, no matter what age, you are willing to work for being on the side of the haves. Hell failures, YES, you’ll have them all the time. I know I have had my share of three people and yet I still keep trying. The adage a a quitter never wins and a winner never quits, is truer today then ever.

I live in a town where they race the finest horses in the world and the difference between the winning horse and the one in second is a matter of inches and tenths of seconds. Yet you never hear about the horse that came in second. I talk to the trainers and they know it all comes down to trying and never quitting. And that winning horse works just as hard the next week as the one that came in second to stay in the first place slot.

So this time of year all the lists come out and we look back. We make resolutions. Two things we start off our new year to set us up for more of the same. So stop looking back and make a resolution to stop making resolutions.

The one thing we both can agree on, is we are blessed to have family, friends, health(I hope), great memories and not one of those can be bought.

God your right this post can be depressing, but in the end, We Can’t Take A DIME with us.

Pretty negative post. I don’t suppose you could come up with something more positive that would give hope to those who up until now haven’t been able to level themselves with ideas like “you started too late” — ok, so somebody was/is “too late” — how can they break through such a barrier?

Happy New Year!

Good advice, but there are many other choices people make that end them up in the “not rich” group. I suppose those who do succeed in making money would lump them into “failing to take advantage of opportunities.” But there are often other priorities for using cash (helping a relative), taking lower paying jobs (many reasons… ethical, personal, expected lifestyle, etc), and you can’t save enough for retirement, no matter what you do, if all you can save is $1 a week. Compound interest can’t overcome that.

Mmm, I think one main reason I’m not rich (apart from being lazy, which should definitely be up on your list) is that I’m not rich already!!

Let’s face it, the old adage: ‘Money comes to money’ is true. If you have enough money to invest, then (assuming you invest wisely) you’re likely to make more money. Whilst those of us scrimping and scraping by, which most people are really, don’t have the opportunity to invest.

Not to say that should stop you, but it makes things harder.

Happy new year!
