    START SAVING NOW..

    Lets say you are 18 years old... open a ROTH account and if you have the power to save/invest atleast $3000 a year until age 24 to 25.. you can leave all that money there and not save a dime until you hit 60 and have over a million bucks....

    You can still have fun and save money...

    But you dont have to listen to me about this.. Im only 28 years old...

    I hope the older members on here chime in and let you guys know.
    you say the same shit my dad does.. and yes you're 28. 8 years older then i am, i make an average of 30-40k a year. but i also pay, 600 a month for my car, 200 for insurance, aboiut 150 for gas. and maybe acouple dollars here and there for food.
    im almost done "right" now with my car. i just need a tune and acouple more exterior mods and im done. for maybe half a year. thats when im really gonna save as much as i can.

    You don't have to put a shit load in it. $20-30/week will get a decent start. Later, QD.
