90% of people accept the situation they’re in, spend every dollar and more on consumer needs / wants, never own a single asset beyond (maybe) a home and a few stocks, and then die.
Don’t hand your kids that mindset.
The problem:
How to create wealth and break the cycle isn’t taught in school.
The methods are passed down from generation to generation and guarded closely.
You’re either taught how to accumulate assets or you remain poor.
Luckily, information is everywhere.
The other major problem:
Assets cost money and you need credit to buy them. So if you’re broke you can’t buy them.
The answer:
Create an asset (a business) out of thin air with your sweat and effort.
I got into smoking cigars last summer and I've spent a ton of time since then researching and tasting.
What I love most is the 45 minutes alone with my thoughts or in a lively discussion with a friend.
Its a form of meditation for me.
If you're interested, heres what I know:
The best time to smoke a cigar is while reading or writing for me.
It gets the creative juices flowing.
Make sure to eat beforehand and drink water (or soda) to avoid tobacco sickness early on, or pair with a great bourbon or scotch on a weekend evening.
It's not very expensive unless you want it to be.
You can find amazing $5 cigars online with free shipping.
I use cigarpage dot com and my favorite "starter cigar" is H. Upmann's Vintage Cameroon or the Perdomo Reserve Champaign. Light, smooth, intricate, burns great, and $5-7.
