Keys to having financial success: You have to be smart and be willing to tell people “no.” It’s hard to tell mom, grandma, sister, brother, “no” especially when they’ve been there, but you’re going to have to say “no” more often than you say “yes” to not end up broke by 50. (1/3)

You’re even going to have to tell yourself “no”. Why do you need 5 cars? I had a Ferrari, S500 and a Blazer parked in my grandma’s driveway and didn’t own a home. I’m thinking, ‘You the biggest damn fool in America.’ I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but I got smart. (2/3)

More money, more problems (3/3)
