Define your dreams. Invest your money. Live your life.

Define your own dream, and you can ignore the trappings most people chase. Invest your money yourself, and you can take advantage of your skills and experiences. Respecting your own knowledge and working to a clear goal that you defined gives you an advantage over the investment titans.

They can be role models for those of us in this modern world. Properly balancing your money, your goals, and your time can let you live a life now while you journey towards your dream. Pioneers had to bounce along in a covered wagon and survive brutal winters. Our journeys don't have to be as risky and can be much more rewarding.
