I want to be financially and mentally and also physically successful buy age 30. I don’t want to be like everyone else. I want to be the special person I want to be the person inside me. I want a wife and kids too.
By age 30 I want to be worry free about everything everyone else thinks about a specially money. I don’t want to be down and depressed all my life. I’m lucky because I’m only 16 now so I know I have time, time to invest in myself.
My mom tells me “jahmar your black and the only way to be successful is to to go college” sometimes I look at her crazy but she doesn’t understand. College is the wrong way to go if your looking tords being financially successful. Unless I wanted to be a doctor or something but no. I want to be debt free and financial free and I know exactly how to get there without going to college.
The point here is that most people are stressed out because of bills and stuff, some of those people do have a degree. Some people can’t take it so they take there lives because they can’t afford living and stuff. But I’m different.
To all those people,”money isn’t everything” money helps you live, eat, buy, sell etc… You need money for everything. My mom has just enough to afford $1,000 rent in a single family house and she’s worrying alot about money. She has 5 kids to feed.
I don’t want to suffer like my mom and dad.

Like you I thought I knew better than my parents at times-but you’re 16, and they’re much older and experienced. Unless you have a million dollars hidden somewhere or you’re highly skilled in sports/music or other talents that will get you rich one day, then you’re average like most people.
Which means you’re going to need a good job if you want to avoid the suffering that comes with a low-income. The best way is to go to college or university-despite the nonsense you might’ve heard. Higher education opens more doors for you and also generally a higher income, so I agree with your mother, unless you have some surefire plan or you’re the next Bill Gates or Elon Musk.
But a university education isn’t just about getting a piece of paper-it’s the whole experience that’s worth it, the people you meet, the new friends you make, the great classes. If I could I’d like to go back, one of the best experiences of my life. Also if you do well financially you can help your mom out with the rent or buy a house so you’re rent free.
It’s good to plan out your future at your age but nothing comes free-you will have to work hard to get there. You need to be dedicated and driven. I got my education but my career didn’t work out as planned, I had a little success in business and it’s something I plan to get back to in the future.
Well I’m not going to be drowning in debt and college is not useful.
Good point, but you don’t get where I’m coming from.

Im older…. and I am not poor, and not rich…. but what I will tell you, is that money doesn’t bring happiness….. while it is important in this world… it isn’t what matters most….
People can lose it in an instant,, for a list of reasons, many do,,,,
They chase what it can buy,,, and often overlook and/or screw others over to get it too…. not saying you would.,, but the temptation will be there…
Money changed my family too,,, the love of it,,
My advice, don’t love the world as many do, it is on the way out anyway,,, as you can likely already see……
You sound like my mom lmao, but I want financially stress out of the way. This is what society has come to, so sad. I feel bad for homeless people. But I will help them one day.
Hey, what if I told you I am a financial advisor with a million bucks in the bank?
money is often a curse these days…. people are slaves to it one way or the other…
I live comfortably and the greatest and most rewarding things I do are either helping others in some form with no benefit to me, to doing something peaceful alone which costs little or no money,,,, as in going to the beach tomorrow night for the full moon,,, priceless….
Try launching a rap career.
Not my thing.
Oh my bad, one thing I always say “I don’t want to be rich, I just want to live comfortable”. I tell everyone that.
It’s about time to leave this website it’s too depressing and people here don’t like me. I don’t want to make it a habit to come here but maybe every now and then.
Good luck
