I think # 4 is the most important piece of advice on this list. The rest are a bit subjective and really colored by your specific views and values; however, # 4 hits home to a lot of people. I think the one other bit I would add to this list is not to complain about what you're NOT getting. When the Obama administration set up the home recovery packages, I had a lot of people at work demanding that I tell them what the benefit of them continuing to pay their mortgage on time was. Well, if you don't know the answer to that yourself, perhaps you shouldn't be a homeowner. The fact is, you're not getting a piece of the handout money because you don't need it. Rejoice! You've made wise decisions and are not becoming a drain on society. That is a good thing. The reason these people get left out is because they’ve made the right decisions all along.

I'm not exactly a richie rich person, but I'm doing pretty okay. I guess it's that mentality my parents gave me: always save for a rainy day no matter how sunny it may seem.
