If we can get the tax rate to go down, I think the future looks good. Technology is still progressing. But if we continue to the high tax dystopia, there is little hope of better tomorrow. Then life will be truly about survival, not prosperity.

As you know, madness is like gravity…all it takes is a little push.

First you need income. In 90% of cases this means a job. Jobs often suck and are painful, but we gotta do what we gotta do to get money. Your pain tolerance will grow as time goes on.

Second you need to save a big chunk of your income and keep expenses low. Do what must be done.

Third you need to invest some of your savings so you can retire one day. Invest according to your risk tolerance so you don't panic and sell at the bottom.

It's best to start right now because then your money has more time to grow in investments. Money right now is more valuable than money in 30 years. If someone offers you a job or overtime, you take it. Next year might be a recession and you might not make any money. Make hay while the sun shines.

The path from adolescence to adulthood is hard, but after that life becomes easy if you did what must be done. You will be in control of your destiny, the world will be your oyster.

Good luck!
