Good advice which only applies to about 20% of Americans:Solution, buy stocks instead of crack, booze, porn, tattoos, rims, Jordans.
"At the other extreme, the 400 wealthiest Americans own as much wealth as 80 million families -- 62% of America. The reason, once again, is the stock market. Since 1980 the American GDP has approximately doubled. Inflation-adjusted wages have gone down. But the stock market has increased by over ten times, and the richest quintile of Americans owns 93% of it."
