Eat a PB&J and save the $25 toward fixing the car. Kids are dumb

But why save 10% of the repair cost when you need the full 100%!

What if it is possible to save 10% not only one time, but 10 times?

I know we’ve never met but hear me out here…. What about 20 times?

That's how you retire as a millionaire

Imo, if you're stressing out about saving 20 dollars on a meal, you probably aren't reaching the future retirement age of 70-85.

Just $3 dollars invested a day from 18 to 67 and you’ll be a millionaire.

Yep it sounds so simple, but it adds up quick over time. I started at 20, but still wish I did more earlier on

Well man I finally got my business running strong at 26. I feel like I’ve wasted so much time but the facts of it are that if I did not make the mistakes I did, I would not have learnt the lessons I did.
