Keeping money with you only makes you poorer while investing it can make one even hundreds times reacher. I love this moral story as it’s going to help me as well.

With age, more and more I am convinced to this sentence. The best way to ensure our future is no savings that we gathered all our life, because anything can happen and we can lose them. What we can nobody would take.

HAH! Truth.

I’ve since stopped trying to convince people to change since the only way you do is when you truly WANT to. Like you fine people here reading this :) Now I just try and live as best a life I can and happily answer questions when people ask and wonder. The only time they listen is when they’re ready to :)

Really loving your blog btw, you’re on my list of up and comers man. Keep pouring your heart out!

Yuck!

Maybe they’re “fake rich” and actually not millionaires? :)

well, I don’t know about the latter all the way (I can think of a lot worse investments), but I def. don’t think those doomsdayers over there are going to see their time come in the near future :) But don’t tell Len Penzo that – he’s been hoarding silver and gold like a mad man!
