Discipline is the key. Me I lack discipline when I was accumulating some fortune (past 5 years), I lost maybe 3M to wrong decisions and new habits (not drugs, women - i do not even drink) I have made. But even so, I came from nowhere (like we dont have food on our table), we sometimes steal food in order for us to eat. I am still happy for what I have accomplished. Use your head, do not procrastinate. If you have money, make it work for you while you are working. Right now, I have a good career, a decent paying Job, but my investments returns are in the 6 digit figure per month. And it started from 0.

This is not bragging, you people do not know me personally therefore there is no point in bragging. I just want you to become disciplined pud, saka na lang mugasto ug taman naa nay passive income. ayaw lang sad palabian ug tipid (like mga insik nga datu karon) bisan 9 figures na ang kwarta sa banko, 60+ na ang edad, inot gihapon sa tanan. ambot kung madala nila ang kwarta sa langit (kung malangit man gani). so antos lang while you start, if you have passive income, hala gasto moderately, do not deprive yourself from a little luxuries in life. do what you want while you are young, go where you want, eat what you crave (moderately), kay kung tigulang na ka, dili na nimo mabuhat ang tanan.
Keep track of your targets, networth (even once a month), have a spreadsheet to keep track of it.
