Wise words brethren. I will exchange some words of mine for financial tips.

Tips:
1. Eliminate all debt- debts create interest that will eat into your cash. Always try to have zero debts each month.
2. After debts are paid save 3-6 months for emergency fund.
3. Reduce expenses- move to a cheaper place, use public transport, don't hang out or blow money. Sounds boring but it's not bad. Use Netflix instead of cable.
4. You should now be in a positive cash flow situation. Learn to budget. Build savings for the next step.
5. Earn more- invest in school or trade or find another way to make more money. Shouldn't be that hard now that you have no debt, savings in the bank, and ability to invest in yourself.
6.save a certain amount of money just for long term savings no matter what
7. Disregard females acquire currency
8. Now that you are earning more and spending less, with cash to spare, start a retirement account. Add 5-8% of income to it each week.
9. Learn about investing. Investing is really gambling, you need to learn the differences between investments, know your risk tolerance, and have goals. Read warren buffets books as most things people know about investing are wrong.

Do these for a few years and you may have cash to start a business. Entrepreneurship is the number 1 way to get rich

Tips for not getting rich
1. have kids- huge cash drain
2. get married- lose half of everything in divorce
3. not save money

You're assuming the woman doesn't make any money. If your wife makes money your life will improve quite a bit.

Nobody gets rich by saving money and if they did it a rare case. Should you save money? Yes of course, but saving money will not get you rich. You have to learn how to make money work for you when you are not working. Those 8-9 hours you sleep at night, your money should be adding more money. Make money work for you don't work for money. If you are just starting out that's fine to work for money to get the ball rolling. Never settle, be open minded use discernment

This is an oustanding list, great advice here. Wise beyond your years, happy birthday Cola.

People ask me where I got my financial advice and I just tell them Google, because I always get golden financial advice on SS from people who actually know what they're talking about.

Happy birthday OP

But ive got to argue with a couple of these lol

5) – fvck that lmao most men will sooner stab you in the back than turn away a piece of pu$$y that is wanting c0ck its survival of the fittest end of story

6)- not everyone’s family loves them mine certainly doesn’t give 2 fvcks about me and im sure the case is the same for many others around the world

13) if you are indeed waiting tables then you are on the bottom rung of society and you are clearly satisfied with being there so i don’t have much sympathy

23) LMFAO are you serious “never have un-protected sex” lmaoo.......last time i checked you only get one shot on this planet and you only have roughly 40 years in which you are sexually capable and you want to waste those years using a piece of plastic to keep you from feeling a woman !!!

 

[Alpheta]

need more elaboration as to why one should reduce fapping...

Sorry your family is dysfunctional man..

So you would let pvssy break up a friendship with a lifelong friend, assuming you have one?

The attitude about waiters is f#cked up man... not everyone had the oppurtunity you had. Same ppl you see on the way up you see on the way down.

The unprotected sex, unless she's your girlfriend and on birth control I wouldn't take a chance ..





You should reduce fappjng because it just takes something from you man.. i have no scientific answer but you're just a better man when you don't fap often

 

[SeymourCake]

You're assuming the woman doesn't make any money. If your wife makes more your life will improve quite a bit.

I should add; never depend on others for your wealth.

Depending on your wife for financial improvement is the same as borrowing money from others.

 

[ImTheDoubleGreatest!]

16 made me lol. But I disagree with 20, partially because it contradicts 25. Those same people who treated me like **** several years ago are now lesser than me (not arrogance, I'm just being honest) and respect me or I have their girls interested in me. I even have a story about a family rivalry so what goes around does indeed come around, no lie

 

[Bingo-Player]

Sorry your family is dysfunctional man..

thanks but its not the end of the world lol ,just thought it would be worth mentioning

So you would let pvssy break up a friendship with a lifelong friend, assuming you have one?

not if i could help it no, but some pu$$y is so sweet you cant refuse and there are plenty of men a whole lot weaker than i am

The attitude about waiters is f#cked up man... not everyone had the oppurtunity you had. Same ppl you see on the way up you see on the way down.

pherhaps but everyone has the oppurtuinty to better themselves, go to college, work a second job whatever it takes to me if your sat in a waiting job for over 2 years you are lazy and self defeating

The unprotected sex, unless she's your girlfriend and on birth control I wouldn't take a chance ..

most women are on birth control these days they have rods and pills and all sorts of contreception , STDS are a risk but as i say you only live once what exactly are you preserving yourself for everyones gonna die eventually



You should reduce fappjng because it just takes something from you man.. i have no scientific answer but you're just a better man when you don't fap often

rarely if ever FAP these days
