Money grabbing little children

Hello all you nickel and dimers

I did not see the full story, but I saw a headline that children who have jobs are more financially successful. I would think this is a given. I mean if a child has a job then he is going to have more money starting off. Of course the earlier you have to be responsible the more practice you have at it.

It all goes back to the entrepreneurial spirit. The key to success is to start young or become incredibly lucky. Those that usually make a lot of money had to work pretty hard, at least for a little while. From the limited books that I have read about those that are successful, these people tend to start early. They have the drive to succeed. They are not afraid to work hard.

I do not have much drive myself. I did not have to work very hard when I was young. My parents wanted me to concentrate on education. I did not really have a real job until after college. Sometimes I think this may have limited me. I at least have money to pay my bills. Even though I will never have enough to get everything I want, or at least 30 percent of what I want.

I get by with a little help from my friends, or at least their money.
