When we have everything we have ever wanted, we don't make much of an effort to re-use things or make them last longer. Only when we are short of funds to buy things do we think about alternate ways to make the use of the things we already have. Ning,

For those who only talks the talk, but didn't take any action on it, is already destined as the loser... David, I totally agreed with your opinions, especially the first one.

Hence, those with poor grades could actually be view as frugal, b/c they don't have a great desire for a lot of money. Regarding adults and money. I don't see many people giving 100%+ in their jobs all the time. And that's fine. But, it also means that their chances for pay raises and promotions is less as a result. It's all a balance.

I don't think people choose to be broke, but they just choose not to give themselves a better chance at becoming rich.

Maybe you will find that there's so much demand you can turn it into a business! You may want to ask your dad to make you a couple of those cars to sell on a service like eBay.

The experience you will gain from trying different paths is priceless IMO. The great thing about taking action is that you automatically learn new things as you starting executing.

If you want to be rich or successful, you'll work hard at it. If you don't want to be rich, you won't work hard, or find ways to expand your income. Call us naive, but that's just the way we see things. As Larry Winget once said, "You're Broke Because You Want To Be." Everybody knows that one of the keys to a good job is to get into a good school. Yet, not everybody studies hard in High School/Secondary School to get those good grades. I think part of the main reasons is simply people don't want good jobs. It is what it is. Agree or disagree? I think we’re all pretty rational beings.
