Hello Everyone,
I’m Johnny, 17, living in New Zealand. I was wondering the other day how I can save up for the future, I already have a bank account of around 5k, a house to live in, and I am privileged enough to have international education. But I just feel apart from donating money to charities and working part time, theres more to life than just going to school everyday. Let say, when I move out to another country like USA, I would need more money to go around, perhaps like a million dollars?? but I have no idea how to start being an adult and I fear I will mess up???
Thanks in advance to all of you. =)

Believe it or not the PLAN is important. You can either plan for zombies, as above, or plan to become wealthy. The necessary part of becoming wealthy in today’s world is knowledge, training and information. Credentials help but aren’t really necessary. Find a wealthy person and ask how he did it. Ask his advice. Women are insightful – don’t underestimate “marry well”. Marrying a smart woman will help. If they are spending most of their time becoming debutantes they probably don’t have business skills or a profession…avoid those. A wife can help make you a millionaire or she can destroy your ability to create that level of wealth. If they are encouraging and cooperative, they will be worth more than your estate.
I actually had this same question not too long ago and came up with a 5 step plan to prepare for the future.
The first thing you need to do is draft a well-written, extremely detailed zombie apocalypse survival plan that covers all emergency situations and possible problems. The second step is to stock up on weaponry and ammunition to survive said zombie apocalypse (preferably a shotgun that holds 5+ rounds and a high-power rifle with several dozen spare magazines). The third step is to modify your home so that when the zombies approach, it becomes an impenetrable fortress. The fourth step is to fill every unimportant room in your home with food and water, preferably to survive for a minimum of several months. The fifth and final step is to spread the word to your friends so that you may not be alone during the end of the world.
Hope this helps. Cheers =]
