Hi Nez – Thank you. Compounding fascinates me. A dollar a day can mount up to a whole heap so quickly. When I first got a computer I messed about with those Microsoft Money computations for ages.

Hi Catherine,

First of all, thank you so much for coming to visit my blog and leaving thoughtful comments — I’d like to return the favor!

I’m glad you picked what you did for #1 — for me, “anything worthwhile takes time” is something I feel really strongly about. In fact, I would add qualify the part about time. The time that is needed for anything worthwhile needs to be spent working hard — anything worthwhile really requires hard work and a lot of effort.

When I was 20, I wish someone told me to save money right away, and explained the “miracle” of compound interest!

Thanks for posting!

Good for you Mrs M. You’re really smart – so I know you can do this. You just need more confidence and you’ll get there. And every small step you take will increase your confidence more.

I was really ill at one time and I had the confidence of a gnat. You honestly wouldn’t believe how bad I was. So, if I can improve on it anyone can.

Very encouraging, Catherine! I’ve actually been getting involved with two small entrepreneurial ideas. I’m really excited about them even though I know it’ll be work with likely little profit at first. If nothing else, I’ll learn from the experience and develop some good skills…maybe some confidence, networking, that kind of thing. And if I’m lucky, they’ll supplement my other jobs and Micah’s income to help keep us going.

Hi Dwayne – I think we’ve all done something like that. When you’re young, you expect everything to happen yesterday don’t you. At least you tried at 17 – that’s impressive in itself.

I think that rule number one hit home with me the absolute most. I remember starting my first business when I was 17 and it was promoting parties. I spent tons of hard earned money on hot cards, renting out a venue, and hiring a Dj that I totally forgot the most important thing of all……the competition. I was delusional by the end of my grand opening and grand closing in the same night! I totally skipped over the competition investigation to know who was going to be doing something the same night I was! I was in a race! But I learned!

Hi Opal – thank you. That is one of my favourites too. But, I didn’t learn it until the last couple of years.
