perhaps, sitting down and thinking with a pad and pen. And writing goals where you woul like to see your self and what really really matters to you. 

@David Kovalchuk lol, I'm only 16, but I can give great advice. You certainly did I'm nearly twice your age which sounds wild to me now. However, at 16 for some you can have a great understanding. Lacking experience certainly but understanding, you have it. Keep at it. 

I'm located in the Southern Illinois area and me and my brother are very handy. I'm well versed with horizontal construction and he is more vertical HVAC, renovations and such. We are both actively searching to be more involved in the real estate realm and would certainly be able to help with tenant request or even finding solid contractors.

@Jamie O'Connell I'm not there yet, but interesting. I would figure the vetting process would be extensive, but could certainly make it very passive.

I concur think long term.

What books and podcasts would you recommend?

 bigger pockets of course. I lean into any one financial independence related I find any with that overarching theme typically will provoke thought. Bigger pockets money is great. Choose FI is solid. thats what intrigues me though what about you keegan?

Quote from @Mackaylee Beach:

Excellent advice! It’s certainly easy to develop poor habits; discipline is crucial when it comes to both exercising and managing finances. Staying consistent with your goals can lead to rewarding outcomes. Just as regular exercise strengthens the body, disciplined financial management builds a solid foundation for future success.

Yes, vigilance is the real lesson I am learning. With diets little food choices, habits that we make can have a huge impact on overall health. Drinking calories, high fat foods, or say seasonings can sabotage your overall health. Or perhaps poor ingredients. I have been learning to have a very vigilant eye on ingredients and nutritional facts. Same with finance being incredibly vigilant when it comes to rates, purchases, contracts and anything else that effects your overall financial health. Nutritional vigilance and financial vigilance!
