Right now you are probably trading time for money. The problem with this is you are limited on time and you need unlimited money. You cannot work 24 hours a day 7 days a week for very long. But your money can and it can forever if you so choose. So start right now. Pay yourself first. Take 10% of your paycheck every time and invest it in something.
