overlook, and most people do. Here are some of the

        right choices:


            1.  Do well or your best in school and get the

               best education that you can. Definitely finish
               high  school.  Post  secondary  (after  high

               school:  college  or  technical  school)  can

               double your income and more than double it
               depending on what you study.

            2.  Save for a rainy day. It will rain, guaranteed.

               Live  within  your  means.  This  means  you
               spend less than you earn. The difference you

               save and invest.

            3.  Avoid debt like the plague (a disease). Debt
               works against you, prevents becoming rich

               and can impoverish and even bankrupt you.
               Stay  away.  Realize  there  are  very  smart

               people working everyday to sell you debt so

               that they can have your money. Instead you
               should keep your money and avoid debt. It

               is your income or money that when invested

               will make you rich. That shiny new car will
               not  promote  wealth,  and  in  fact  will  work

               against you becoming wealthy. So, save up
               and pay cash for what you want. That is the


                                                                   2
