How many of you have seen friends, relatives, or perhaps yourselves, who have received a modest sum from a bonus, an inheritance, or even a lottery winning, run right down and buy a new car or a boat, or possibly a motorcycle, with that money?
Did they think about investing that money and begin creating a better future? No, and that is the difference between those who get ahead and those who don't.
Yes, but that's not the topic at hand. The topic at hand, is the difference between the one percent, and the rest of the nation. Even if you save your capitol to create a better future, that will still, never in a a billion years, land you in the one percent.
So what?
Anyone can improve their financial position if they want to.
In fact any family that really wanted to could in just a couple generations amass quite a fortune.
The simple truth of it all is they don't want to think long term or make the smallest of sacrifices to do so.
Oh, you'll get not argument from me on that. . . .
