[quote=Anonymous]1. I never thought about it. Money has never been a big motivator for me, once basic needs have been met. I followed my passion and the money came with it (slowly). 2. Not much has changed. I still worry about money every day because I know how easy it would be for everything to simply melt away. A lot of trauma there. 3. Took about 20 years. Would have happened sooner if I had not had student loans or parents to support. 4. Marriage is critical. You don't need to marry someone who already has money, but you have to marry someone who shares your views about money and who has a track record of being willing and capable of working and saving. Once those two incomes are there, you can build that foundation quickly. Always live on one income. Save the other. Buy the smallest house in a nice neighborhood rather than a big house in a so-so neighborhood. Drive your cars until they die. Learn to say no to the shiny, nice new toys (e.g., designer bags, ipods). [/quote]
