    Would you like a socialist society? Do you want a welfare state? I don't. Why shouldn't some people be able to afford luxuries like names on buildings?

    That's completely wrong. Invest in a mutual fund monthly and you'll be amazed by the power of compound interest.

    Mid and lower class people can definitely get rich by saving. Of course their savings don't add up to millions, but you're completely disregarding the returns of a decent mutual fu…

    I can't believe people on a forum such as this are completely financially illiterate. The 7% rate is already inflation adjusted. The nominal rate is about 10%. So plug in a 7% real…

    Can you explain how the "maths just don't work out"? I'm pretty sure saving IS the way to wealth for the overwhelming majority of people. This honestly sounds like it's straight fr…

    A lot of them sell for much less than (monthly revenue) * 12. I haven't personally purchased a site from there, but I know people who have. You don't need to buy something from the…

    I'm definitely not obsessed with programming. I can force myself to practice regularly, though. All it takes is discipline. I wouldn't pursue it if it wasn't lucrative; that'd be i…

    It's hard to say. Would I rather watch a TV show than solve a brain teaser? Yes. But I can replace "solve a brain teaser," with just about anything there. I'm not lazy, I can work,…
