Show up every day. Fall in love with the process. You don't get results by focusing on results. You get results by focusing on the habits and behaviors that produce results. You don't need to be great to be consistent, but you need to be consistent to be great.

When you have $50,000 in investments but drive a $5,000 Toyota, most people think you are dead broke. But if you have $5,000 in a bank but finance a $50,000 car with a 7% APR over 7 years, people think you are wealthy.

I can't help but laugh. I'm reading through the 2004 copy of @AuthorDavidBach's The Automatic Millionaire and chuckling at a coffee and muffin from Starbucks costing $5. Even funnier, there is a guy that finds it incredulous that a muffin costs $1.50. You'd be hard pressed to

Every penny counts. Even if it's just $5 per paycheck, or putting a bank interest payout into savings, or putting that $100 government check away, it all adds up over time and is ALL valuable. Just because you can't save a lot doesn't mean you shouldn't.

MUNGER: People don't seem to care what floor they're at, just whether the elevator is going up or down. BUFFETT: That's true. People feel better when they're on the 2nd floor that just came [up] from 1 than they do when they're on the 99th floor coming down from 100.

If You Can, How Millennials Can Get Rich Slowly, by William J. Bernstein, is a worthwhile read. It's 16 short pages.
