If You Don't Like Where Your Parents Were At Your Age - Do Things Differently

The old cliche' that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results", holds just as true today as it did when it was orginally written.

If you don't like where your parents were at your age, stop what you are doing, and ask yourself are you simply following what you learned growing up? During your childhood, they taught you all they knew about wealth and money.

For many people, these early years established how they feel about their finances today. In order to become financially successful, you must do something different than they did, if you want better results. Otherwise you will end up exactly as they are.

Wealthy people take advice from people who are wealthier than they are. Poor people take advice from their friends and family, who are just as broke as they are. Which category do you want to fall into?
