It doesn't matter if you make $40,000 a year or $200,000 a year, it is what you do with it.
You can make $200,000 a year and by the time you retire, be in much worse condition than the guy that was making $40,000 a year but invested it wisely and wasn't careless in his life nor in his finances.
-Be frugal with your money
-Don't fall into the trap of buying new cars all the time, as they break down just like "old" cars
-Don't look to see how you'll spend your check "on the weekend," but rather look and see how your check will benefit you in 5, 10, 15, 20 years, etc. The broke person basis his finances on the weekend, the wise investor basis his finances on his broad and bright future.
