Love this, Maddie. What I've learned about money is that someone getting it doesn't take any away from me (except when paying taxes, which I really don't mind because I like to be around educated people and not hit potholes). Someone made a comparison about people getting more rights doesn't take away other rights because, "It's not pie." Which needs to be put immediately on a t-shirt. When someone succeeds, it makes the path easier for others. When mistakes are made, it's a chance to learn. I'm 54 and only started an IRA 3 years ago (almost 4). I only started my first 401k at the end of last year. I am so far behind where I "should" be, and so what? No plan of mine hasn't gone up in flames at some point. It lights the way and keeps me warm. xo
