You can start buying stocks and bonds with as little as one penny.
The cans will add up. And I will eventually get to some honey holes I know where I can pull out bags of cans each visit.
No genius behind it. It's going to take sticking with it. Everyday keep adding more.
You may find that time is your most important resource. You can always make more money but you can't make more time. Once a day has passed .... you'll never get it back again. It's gone forever.Quote:

Time is money.
Just as time is slipping away .... your money is slipping away. There's always the cost to live. It's the cost of owning a car, paying the rent, buying the groceries and so on. You always have some amount of money going out. It's like trying to fill a leaky bucket of water. You gotta keep "adding to" so that the bucket doesn't run dry. It's the Red Queen's race just to stay in one place.
It won't end well if you spend your time foolishly by chasing the pennies while the dollars are flying out the window.
Some jobs aren't worth doing.
Im just picking up the cans while I'm out exercising. You must've missed that part. I need to speak better in my videos.Quote:

There's a lot of softwood spruce trees in this area. Storms come through and knock down some of the older trees every so often. I was the caretaker for a few wealthy property owners in the area and was paid to cut them up and haul them off. I would haul off the cut up logs to my yard.
I was not only getting my wood for free ... i was getting paid to take it.
Once here on the homestead ... i split and stacked the firewood for the following winter. The firewood provided heat and hot water all through the cold season here in Maine.
It saved about three grand a year in home heating costs. Better yet ... the firewood in my yard never turned into money so there was no obligation to pay income tax on the fruit of my labors.
I guess you could say that energy is money too. There's only so much a fulla can do in the course of a day so he wants to get the best possible return on his investment of energy.
I get that approach. You become an investor and have your money do the work for you. This works for some people.Quote:
