This is probably a really simple answer that may be hard to correct for you. Everyone who lives in this country has the same opportunity to become rich. A very select few are actually born into real riches and don't have to work. For the rest of us we will have to go out and make it happen. There is no age limit. I have seen it happen at 16 years old and it has happened at 65 years old. The reason you may not be able to be rich is because you may have never been taught how to be rich. You were probably taught by your mom and dad, who in turn were taught by there mom and dad. Being rich is a state of mind. In the book by Robert Kyosaki called Rich Dad Poor Dad, he writes a simple story about two kids. One has the rich dad, who is a business man. The other kid's dad is poor dad who is highly educated and has a good job. The book tells the tale about the American dream and how two people set out in life trying to make a life for themselves and their family.

You are sitting there dead on your feet after your 12 hour day, exhausted. Were you not told to work hard and save and you can have a rich life? Do the right thing, obey the law, love what you do and everything will work out? You went to college and got a degree. This was suppose to be what I needed to make big money. What happened to all my riches? The answer is you got what you worked for. You work hard, you got a hard life. You went to college, you got a good job and a gold watch after 30 years. Does any of this make sense to you?

Think about how money works. You can work for one year and put $40,000.00 in the bank but you can spend $40,000.00 in about 2
