I'm reading this free magazine, free because I picked it up at a thrift store in town. I'd never seen it before. Success is very well written by men and women who've made it. A lot of them give speeches, making tons of money.
One guy wrote about making a fortune and loosing it by the time he was 30. Then instead of asking advice from other rich kids, he said he'd ask an older guy for advice, someone who had not only made their fortune, but had hung on to it as well.
Most of the sage advice in the magazine is tried and true. Stuff our grandparents grew up with. Live within your means. You don't have to keep up with the Jones. You can drive that beater.
None of this seems embarrassing to me. I know kids have a harder time with their image. Guess I'm old enough to have my image established.
My image on the outside says "Matching. Put together". Those that really know me say I'm frugal.
If I can't be eccentric at this age, when do I get to be?
