Pick a trade you have an aptitude for, make as much as you can.... then learn to invest, as your body will not hold up doing the trades into old age.
Or take up a supervisory/management position in that trade.
Unlimited opportunity investing.... not so much working for someone
This! Both the wife and I have received substantial raises over the last few years, and other than food and my wife's fuel our cost of living hasn't increased substantially. Every time we get a raise, we leave our bring home pay just about the same with the new income going into investments.
I spend mine, can’t take money with you, best do things you like while you can is my theory. Go all the places you can, live like today is your last, it might be! Just my worthless opinion! When I retired last December I got paid for the 191 days of vacation and sick time I had accumulated. We are going to Europe for a month, see all we can.
