accept that life is finite, and short
surround yourself with people you want to be like; hopefully those people are better than you
work your ass off when young because that's when you have the energy
start investing when young; it puts you ahead, and it's a time when you can take risks that may result in high payoffs
create passive income streams so you don't have to work when older
maintain health through exercise and diet
if you marry, marry for the right reasons, and with the right person
read; keep learning
maximize your income by choosing a field that pays well, rather than one that feels good
getting things done in the short-term will help you realize your long-term plans
do not neglect family, and important relationships

Search the main sub for "Red Pill Books Compilation V3"

Millionaire Fastlane by MJ Demarco: (Mindset - P2) No this isn't some get rich quick scheme or ideas on how to make quick money. Demarco presents the idea in his book that there are different ways of thinking about money amongst people. The "Slowlane" way of thinking which is plagued by the ones who work paycheck to paycheck to survive, and the "Fastlane" way of thinking that breaks away from the norm of the typical "Go to school, get a job, save your money, retire at 65." mindset. Very interesting read on how to achieve wealth through changing your way of thinking.

I also like Ramit Sethi and his book "I Will Teach You to Be Rich". He also has a youtube channel.

The Intelligent Investor by Ben Graham. Its old but still relevant

Rich Dad Poor Dad inspired me to start a business and work for myself. Just passed two years of working for and fully supporting myself.

It’s a very general book that will make you look at money, work and life very differently.

Corporateland on the sidebar. Helped me get my first job out of college.

Here’s what I did to increase my income by a factor of 10 (yes, ten times more) from 22 to 32. I don’t feel rich by any means so take this with a grain of salt.

Quit playing video games (you can still play occasionally but your life is too short to spend big chunks of time on this).
Invest in yourself constantly. Physical and mental. Aim to improve every single day.
Pick a trade and stick with it. Change jobs every 2-4 years to maximize your salary and ensure you’re always being paid the market rate or better.
Don’t compare yourself to other people.
Don’t snub your nose at a potential opportunity.
Spend 25-40% of your after tax income on housing. No more.
Save 3-6 months worth of expenses in a liquid account.
Buy insurance. Health, auto, home. Set the deductible as high as you feel comfortable losing at any given time.
Pay off your credit card every month.
Buy a house.
Maximize your 401k and IRA when you can. Allocate the investments into low cost index funds, aka a “target date” fund.
Do whatever you’d like with the rest. Invest in real estate, individual stocks, bitcoin, alternative investments, whatever.

u/VasiliyZaitzev and his “CorporateLand” series have made me a monster in the corporate world within my niche field at a very young age. Check the sidebar

Simply advice to success:

Avoid debt at all costs, avoid an LTR for as long as you can (preferably till at least 30 at the soonest), definitely avoid kids (biggest killer to getting rich). Develop a skill that is in high demand, and work your ass off until you get really good at it. Leverage your skill for money, develop relationships and get more money. Save as much as you can, and avoid the lifestyle creep of living paycheck to paycheck.

Don't worry about investing until you are making 100k a year (this is controversial advice) but its pointless to invest money when cash is valuable. You can leverage cash and make a lot of money at one time instantly if you capitalize on the right thing. Think buying a home or an item you can flip for more money because you have cash and don't need to finance ect. Stack cash >fuck bitches > avoid debt

Look up books by Napolean Hill. "Think and Grow Rich", " The Keys to Success" and many more. He is the seminal writer in the field of self help and success. In fact, I have had both of these books at my desk for the last 25 years. They have worked for me, beyond my wildest dreams.

Personal finance subreddit wiki is a decent start for managing money.

Efficiency

There's no shortcuts in life. To be world class: you have to put in the hours and be willing to sacrifice other pleasures and aspects of the mundane that normal people have.

Experience. Get out and try to get work at big companies with rich people.

I liked 'How I Raised Myself From Failure to Success in Selling' by Frank Bettger.

Bigger pockets - great to get into real estate and helpful community

Search TRP for the words "money" and "career" and "corporate".
