Good Luck to those Chaps and Chappettes saving for their nestegg....
However, make damn sure you spend it all because you can't take it with you!
Finally, make sure that you are not too old to do the things you wanted to do whilst building your nestegg!
Or is that "sucking eggs??"

Most of our attitudes towards money were imprinted on us by "significant" people in the early part of our lives, i.e. parents, teachers, etc.
Sad to say but many of these attitudes were quite wrong and account for much of the misery which some people find themselves in.
Money does not solve all your problems but at least you can arrive at your problems in style!
If you want money AND time then you have to get "leverage". John Paul Getty (once the richest man in the world) said "I'd rather have 1% of one hundred's people efforts than 100% of my own!".
An example of "leverage" is having a considerable sum of money and investing it and living off the interest. Unfortunately, most people don't have the money to invest!
However, businesses do exist which work via "leverage".
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that I would never be rich working for someone else!

I know a guy who is absolutely loaded. When asked how he made so much money he tells tjhis tale:
When I was younger and pennyless I managed to get enough wood to build a shed, once built I sold it and with the money purchased enough wood for 2 sheds, built them, sold them and you guessed it had enough for 4 sheds.
This continued for quite some time, I employed friends to help with the building and sellng until one day I won the lottery and said **** the sheds, Im off on the piss.
Good Luck

I wouldn't totally agree with the statement..rich people are always unhappy. If they're unhappy, it's entirely their fault because they're not trying to be happy. (in my opinion)
People who have little or no money I would say are usually less happy with life. They can't afford to pay the bills...stress. They can't go on holiday...stress. They can't move out of the neighborhood where their car keeps getting vandalised...stress. They can't afford petrol.
Even the most optimistic people in the world would hate that. .
Personally, I'd choose lifestyle..but for my ideal, I'd need lots of money.
I agree money doesn't buy you happiness BUT is sure as hell doesn't buy misery.
