Work 2 or 3 jobs.</p><p>2. Save half of all the money I made at those three jobs.</p><p>3. Invest that money in a broad range of solid commodities such as gold and silver, land, food, oil, electricity (all the things people are going to need no matter what) and bonds.&nbsp; I would also have a safe at home where I put away cash money to the tune of $9999.99 a slug, many slugs!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But making and saving money were never my particular ambition - I just didn&#039;t care.&nbsp; Not saying that&#039;s right but that the truth.&nbsp; Heck anyone can become a millionaire if they only do half of what I said above and did it for 35 years - it&#039;s the simplest thing in the world, and no I did not say easy, I said simple.&nbsp; I was never willing to work that hard for much anything but pleasure and avoiding any consequences associated with it.&nbsp; Yes, it took me a long time to grow up and do not suggest my life to anyone - I don&#039;t think most would be as fortunate of plain old lucky as I was/am.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;What I am saying though is this - if I collected coins for future profit I would be miserable - it&#039;s just not me.&nbsp; If you want something I have and need it more than me I&#039;d just as soon give it to you as sell it.&nbsp; I do a lot of that each month giving kids at my coin show supplies, coins and help.&nbsp; I tend to live for each day as it comes or in other words, and this is one of my motto&#039;s - &quot;how many people on board the Titanic skipped desert that night&quot;?</p><p>That&#039;s how I try to live right or wrong and another one, &quot;I&#039;m the one that&#039;s got to die when it&#039;s time for me to die&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
