Comments on: You’re Young So You Should Get Rich http://www.schaefersblog.com/youre-young-so-you-should-get-rich/ Learning Resilience in the Age of Turbulence Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:52:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Cameron Schaefer http://www.schaefersblog.com/youre-young-so-you-should-get-rich/comment-page-1/#comment-117 Cameron Schaefer Mon, 28 Jan 2008 03:34:54 +0000 http://www.schaefersblog.com/?p=4#comment-117 Young, I completely agree that life is often much messier and a 5-step plan just doesn't quite fit. However, I think the greatest mistake one can make is inaction. The problem most of my friends in debt have is not that they don't follow all the steps listed above, its that they don't try any of them. I'll be honest, I have been incredibly blessed to never be in a substantial amount of debt. The biggest reason being I went to a military academy for college which was entirely free...in fact, I even got paid a small amount each month. After checking out your blog (very nice by the way) I would say that we need advice coming from people in both of our situations because as you say, life is messy and we all need different steps to reach our goals. Thanks so much for the comment! Young, I completely agree that life is often much messier and a 5-step plan just doesn’t quite fit. However, I think the greatest mistake one can make is inaction.

I have the self-control to save, but not the energy to work full time and finish my degree at the same time. So many Americans who are young are already in debt, so this very good advice is often not what is needed.
