Spend wisely. Save, invest, pay shit off early not overpaying the interest. Don't get yourself into financial debt that you can't easily get out of. Work your ass off to be able to afford the things you want in life and squirrel away the rest.
I have a full time job, and 2 other companies I run. My wife stays home with the kids. We drive nice cars, and will be debt free in the next 5 years. I'm only 31. You have to know what you want and go after it. If living debt free is it that's cool. If having a lot of shit is what you want than realize it has a price and most likely a bill that comes along with it prolonging your debt free lifestyle. Hope that helps.
