"I say if you do not become a millionaire in the next 10 years, then its your own fault."
It's a big statement! An 18 year old male who grew up in an affluent family, is not a good fit for making such statement! Becoming a millionaire doesn't make you eligible for such statements!
People come from different backgrounds, different financial situations and different family situations! To get a different perspective of life, speak to a slum boy someday!
Exactly! We have our own pace in life, and it is not a race, if someone became a millionaire when he's 18 and you're in the 20's already but you still don't have million in your wallet, it's okay, you walk different path amongst other people, take your time and someday you'll have your million. The problem of the society these days are they are too materialistic, they don't see little things anymore, they worship money but they don't notice it since they are being blinded by it. Being a happy man is more better than a sad millionaire man.
I try to remind my self of this. I had opportunity to invest but never since I eneded up needing that money anyway. The thing is it is all nice to want to invest but you need money to invest. The worst is when you know an investment is good but you have no money for it. You can try getting other people to invest for you but that is difficult and who will you ask? Asking friends is a bad idea in case things go sour. Maybe a bank loan but wow getting a bank to invest in new speculative currency is going to very difficult.
