Look, you can be old and rich or young an poor, but being old and poor is bad shit.

I would rather be rich in my youth, or rather in my best years, even at the cost of having much less or being poor in my old age. When you're young, you have far more needs and things you need to accomplish, and for that you need a lot of money - and when you get older, your needs decrease more and more and the only thing that matters is your health.
Therefore, I would emphasize that we should be more careful in our youth about the way we live, because alcohol, cigarettes and fast food will only come to pay in old age. I have a saying that says
"old age will ask you where your youth was" and there is some truth in that.
Being rich at your early age does only mean one thing, you need to save and invest at a very young age, but not compromising your youth’s needs and wants as well. And because of that, your family is responsible to teach you how to save and spend money by focusing only on what’s necessary and ignore those that are not actually helping you at all.
Being rich do not happen in an instant, so if you wish to get rich at your 30’s or 40’s, you need to start the process 10 years earlier. And that’s one thing that I regret. Although I don’t have enough means to save, but I believe regardless of your monthly income, it’s still a must to save even just a small amount.
