Welcome to

You know. Over time, I start to disagree that the turtle NOR the hare is the winner. One of them emerged as the winner, because there was a time limit and a finish line. Otherwise the hare could easily be the winner too. 

Time, is a huge ceiling on what is possible and achievable over this lifetime, even Walls street started from a few men and a small tent. And let's face it, any land or property that you buy now will be worth $zillions if you can live a thousand years (provided that no meteor is going to hit earth anytime soon). So why bother about a few % drop and rise here and there? At least your children will be rich beyond imagination!

But back to today.. most importantly start somewhere,

1) do something about it, there's no point if you don't give a toss about it,

2) was there and able to grab the opportunity when it opens and be realistic. You know, if you have short legs, you just have to admit it that you're not built for running,

3) able to defend that idea... like Robert Kiyosaki says, "it's not about making money, it's also being able to keep it". It's common, that lottery winners often go broke again in around 10 years time.
