Insightful message on the basics required of financial husbandry - organic growth is possible when saving and budgeting are even just attempted on a continual basis. In my own history very meager income combined with limited debt has afforded me to both raise a family and retire financially secure. I write this on a first time no-expenses-spared 3 week vacation in New Zealand, and this while my IRA balance continues to rise! Although this astonishing event is happening to me and my wife of 49 years has not been without wrong turns aplenty, merely emphasizing how most people are capable of the same. My oldest son attended the University of Chicago! Listen to people like Mr. Clements and Mr. Grossman, and the many commenters on this site. I have and do.
