"This is a great list. Thanks for sharing. These are all important but the most important one I believe for current day Americans is probably number 7. "There used to be a time that when you wanted something you saved for it. Then when you had saved enough money, you bought it; imagine that!" - John Bogel Cheers. Ethan" - Ethan Bloch

"Thanks! Uhhh your teacher was all kinds of off wrong. As long as your savings account has an interest rate above 0% it's better off in the savings account then under your mattress, no doubt about it. However, a savings account is still one of the worst places to sock money away due to the low interest rate banks usually pay you for your deposit. Someone wrote in the other day and asked what they should do with a nice bit of money that they need access too but want a higher rate of return then their savings account was offering. The answer is Money Market Funds; which we will be covering in an upcoming episode on The Way to Build Wealth. Hearing about your HIGH SCHOOL teachers ignorance is scary... all kinds of scary. Cheers. Ethan" - Ethan Bloch

"HI Dash2, thanks for the comment. Tim Ferriss is a genius and The 4-Hour workweek rocks! It is very easy and enjoyabe read. Even if you don't apply 100% of what Tim recommends and even though you will probably never really work just 4 hours per week, you will be better off having read the book then not. And there is something for everybody in that book. My biggest take away was to work on something that I love. Plus some productivity hacks. Have you read it? What are your thoughts? Cheers.
