If you're expecting to get rich by listening to a financial advisor and not doing your own homework as well, you're in for a big surprise. But if you learn to manage your money yourself and use input form athers as advice to evaluate rather than "this is the way to do it" then you put yourself in a much better position to be rich.

I do not agree with her article. All the points in her piece have merit but her headline is not true.Most everyone in the US has the ability to be "rich".If you want to be rich then get your advice from someone who IS rich. There are far too many people who are self proclaimed " how to be rich" prophets who are really false prophets.I have struggled with my waist line all my life. For me to write an article about how to be fit and healthy would be well...silly.Just as some "journalists" who prognosticate about wealth are perhaps just as silly.Please don't take me wrong. I am not pointing at you. I applaud what you are doing and enjoy watching as you learn about financial matters and then in turn share that with your readers.However, if 10 years from now, you are prognosticating and not moving forward financially, then I would verbally spank you too.Our country is full of millionaires. Many of them have worked hard and long to accomplish the things that they have.Bottom line? If you want to be rich...find someone who IS rich to help you along with some good advice.I am quite certain that Warren Buffet would back me up on this one! I am also quite certain that Warren Buffet would never write a piece with that heading.Love ya man...keep up the good work! Flexo,

I just have to speak up on this one. I do not agree with her article. All the points in her piece have merit but her headline is not true.

Most everyone in the US has the ability to be “rich”.

If you want to be rich then get your advice from someone who IS rich. There are far too many people who are self proclaimed ” how to be rich” prophets who are really false prophets.

I have struggled with my waist line all my life. For me to write an article about how to be fit and healthy would be well…silly.

Just as some “journalists” who prognosticate about wealth are perhaps just as silly.

Please don’t take me wrong. I am not pointing at you. I applaud what you are doing and enjoy watching as you learn about financial matters and then in turn share that with your readers.

However, if 10 years from now, you are prognosticating and not moving forward financially, then I would verbally spank you too.

Our country is full of millionaires. Many of them have worked hard and long to accomplish the things that they have.

Bottom line? If you want to be rich…find someone who IS rich to help you along with some good advice.

I am quite certain that Warren Buffet would back me up on this one! I am also quite certain that Warren Buffet would never write a piece with that heading.

Love ya man…keep up the good work!
