He told me then everytime you make or get some money save some of it and put it to work. He was right.
A sister told her two boys that while they were still in high school. One took her seriously, became a millionaire by age 40. He takes his family on outdoor oriented vacations,, has 3 squared away sons..
The other would work enough to set aside a bit, then travel. He married young, his wife did the same. After 5 or 6 years they built a tiny house and started a family. Now he has a good job and is living comfortably, their 5 kids have a great upbringing with a lot of outdoor activities.
I think both approaches worked well.
