The Road to Riches
I have always wanted to be rich. When I was little, I would fantasize about all the glamour that comes with money. As I grow older, it centers around the freedom to travel and the ability to take care of my family. I didn’t begin to develop a plan for building wealth until I was 19 years old.

I no longer wanted to slave away climbing the corporate ladder for a chance at the next pay bracket. I wanted to make money in my sleep. I wanted to make a genuine impact on my loved ones' lives and escape the stress of living below my means. So, like every hopeful entrepreneur, I got on YouTube and researched someone like me who started from nothing and they gave a step by step tutorial on how they did it.

Becoming Celebrated
Imagine this, you graduate high school, go to college and pay off all four years of college by working a simple summer job. When you graduate you have enough money and credit to start a family, buy a home, car, and even a lake house. You work at the job for years, and they promise you a pension that will pay out a guaranteed amount during your retirement years. You retire, get a gold watch.
