Mistakes People Make That Keep Them Poor

by Tryan Hartill

Interesting article I found while cruising the internet at Violent Acres

According to the article the biggest mistakes are:

  1. Having kids too early.
  2. Attending College right after Highschool.
  3. Vanity.
  4. Putting off planning for your financial future for too long.

This is actually the 2nd of a 3 part series and all three are a good read and it’s hard to disagree with any of the author’s points.

Seems to be a major step, for some, to be financially independent … is to wean themselves off the gov’t teat.

Of course, depending on the definition of “financially independent” being used … IE; not working for someone else … some (like me) prefer not to be. Even taking a few days off from work drives me crazy. (‘course that could be because nobody is really trained to take my place, so everything is chaos when I come back.)

nah – it’d have to be not getting enough education quick enough. Learn a skill, something to get paid for.. gain knowledge that you can use to get paid..

I was questioning that a bit also. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Classes are for sure easier when you take them in succsession. But if you are not going to really go for it right out of HighSchool I see no reason to even bother.

BTW check out the authors next post
It is very, shall we say “thought provoking” (and R-Rated)

Naw, I disagree School is good. Some great leader went to college right after school. www.augustaflavor.com
